Top Hip Hop Radio Stations in LA

Hip hop is to Los Angeles what jazz is to New Orleans. Twenty years after Ice-T, N.W.A., and many others first electrified audiences with their rhythmic virtuosity and defiant attitude, L.A. radio listeners can still tune in to hear great music from hip hop legends to the artists of the present day.
  1. Power 106 FM

    • DJs such as Big Boy, Yesi and Felli Fel are well-known to listeners around LA for their high-flying style, encyclopedic musical knowledge, and insider access to events and players on the hip hop scene. Power 106 also gives listeners plenty of chances to participate, from on-air contests to Jeff G.'s sports talk report.

    Q 104.7 FM

    • With its mix of contemporary hip hop, classic R&B, and rapid-fire commentary from DJs Rico and Mambo, this is the station of choice for many Latino Angelinos. Q104.7 has deep roots in the Latin community, alerting listeners to events of public interest as well as the latest in Hollywood gossip through Nancy Rodriguez' Hollywood Chisme report.

    93.5 KDAY FM

    • This is the station to which LA listeners turn when they feel like kicking it old school. With old favorites such as Stevie B., Dr. Dre and Cypress Hill getting frequent airplay, KDAY has a distinctive retro vibe. Although the focus here is on the music, DJs also update listeners on current events in the hip hop community, such as upcoming releases and concerts.
