Lo-fi is the bastard child of 90’s Boom Bap Hip-Hop. In the age of Trap and Drill rap, it became an alternative, something that pulled the needle to the other side of the meter. It was quickly adopted by college and graduate students and cool background beats to keep you calm and help you study. For us holder heads, it became the small island of what Hip-Hop we could still appreciate.
A lot of my older beats still fit into the lo-fi genre which still makes me feel like I can keep making the music I love. My 2020 release, Lo Quality Theory was my first official foray into the lo-fi genre and I’m not done!
Where’s the best spots to experience lo-fi playlists? Well, I have a few on Spotify. But to be honest, there are a ton of Youtube streams that bring you the best lo-fi experience online. Below are 5 of my favorite LIVE lo-fi radio streams. And there are tons more if you do a search. Enjoy!!
