Was listening to one of the hip-hop programs called Shaolin Sundays on a Calgary station called CJSW. Getting me more into the story telling side of things with the hip-hop. The thing I like about this station is they allow cuss words to be heard from the music on the radio. The hip-hop I was hearing was adressing societal issues, political issues, street life. It's inspiring me to keep the stories fresh and articulate.
You can listen to this radio station itself online - http://cjsw.com/ They have a wide range of shows. A good variety
