Albany Hip-Hop Radio. Live 24/7.
Hoodz Radio is Albany’s home for hip-hop and R&B, on air around the clock and free to stream from anywhere. We honor the golden era, and we put the next generation of voices on the same signal.
What you’ll hear
Every hour on Hoodz Radio has a name, a mood and a mic. Mornings start with the records that started the culture. Afternoons run continuous rotation of golden-era hip-hop and R&B. The ride home belongs to The Daily Traffic Mix, prime time belongs to The Cipher Show, and the late-night hours slow it down on The Break It Down Show. See the full lineup on the Shows page.
Made for the Capital Region, open to everyone
We cover the culture where we live: local events, community conversations and the artists coming up in the Capital Region. Recent stories include Albany’s historic mayoral election and the Values-Voice-Vigilance Conference.
