Mr CRF: Critical Beatdown Radio

Get a taste of hip hop flavor from across the pond with Critical Beatdown Radio, one of the UK's longest running hip hop shows, hosted by Manchester's finest, Mr CRF.

Drawn into hip hop by acts like The Ultramagnetic MCs, Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Caveman, and more, Mr CRF started Critical Beatdown Radio in 1996, when it first aired on a pirated radio broadcast in CRF's home town of  Manchester. Critical Beatdown Radio has been broadcasting some of the best music to British listeners for two decades, but now that CBR is on RAPstation, the entire world can listen in for two hours of the freshest true skool hip hop.

Mr CRF is an accomplished artist in his own right, with multiple EPs under his belt, including 2014's "Hiphop Mentality," as well as his work as one-third of The Pedigree Chumps crew. Mr CRF is currently working on a brand new collaborative project entitled the "Critical Beatdown Posse," which features Mic Bless, Marc Live, Life Mc, D Strong ,Noz ,Junior Disprol ,Shaheed, The Lenzmen, AD One, Keith Science, Original One and many more. "Critical Beatdown Posse" is due out later this year, but until then, you can get a taste for Mr. CRF's unique style with the music video for "Feel the Funk," his latest work produced by Rob Ellis.

You can listen to Critical Beatdown Radio every Wednesday at 8:00pm EST, here on RAPstation.com
