Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives

STRETCH AND BOBBITO explores the social impact of what The Source magazine voted “The Best Hip Hop Radio Show Of All Time.” The film is a story of friends who became unlikely legends by engaging their listeners and breaking the biggest rap artists ever.

During the 1990s, Stretch and Bobbito introduced the world to an unsigned Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, and Big Pun as well as an unknown Jay-Z, Fat Joe, and The Fugees. The total record sales for all the artists that premiered on their show exceed 300 million. Stretch and Bobbito created a platform that changed music forever.

Stretch and Bobbito’s musical merits were only half the story, though. Their show had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population. All would loyally tune in for the offbeat humor just as much for the exclusive music. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together and inspired a movement.
