POW Radio
01.10.24
Founded in 2005 by writer Jeff Weiss (The Ringer, Washington Post, GQ), POW is the last rap blog — one of the the first nationally to write about Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Drakeo, 03 Greedo, and many others. In 2016, it birthed the label, POW Recordings, releasing albums from Chester Watson, Kent Loon, Fatboi Sharif, Rhys Langston, Gabe ‘Nandez, Ness Nite, Pioneer 11, The Outfit TX, Vince Ash, and Zilla Rocca.
The radio show is an extension of this far-flung sound, boasting guest mixes from the rotating cast of POW contributors that span Latin boogaloo to Soviet Jazz to West Coast street rap.
lizbetsanch (Liz Sánchez) was born and raised in the Los Angeles valley. She’s a podcast producer (formerly of Sony Music’s Podcasts) and music writer by day, and DJ by night. She started her career as a production assistant for DJs at KCRW, which included working on their flagship morning music show, Morning Becomes Eclectic. From there, she would integrate herself into the LA underground music scene, DJing at Beat Cinema, and other local watering holes, like El Condor. Today, she’s still producing podcasts, and DJing around town.
