TOURING THEIR DEBUT RELEASE “NO REQUESTS” AND THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR ICONIC RADIO SHOW THAT INTRODUCED THE WORLD TO FUTURE HIP HOP LEGENDS
“No Requests is both a testament to the legendary duos curatorial legacy and a building block upon which something entirely new may grow.” — UPROXX
Universal Attractions Agency (UAA), announces its representation of radio legends and dynamic duo Stretch & Bobbito + the M19s Band. Last month, the New York-based DJs/Producers released their anxiously awaited debut album No Requests.
This year they will release tracks from their legendary 90s radio show archives. Both will be distributed by Warner Music Group’s independent distribution division, Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA), who will also provide label services and global support.
Preceding the album Stretch and Bobbito released four singles, the first two being “ I Know You, I Live You ,” featuring GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer Maimouna Youssef and “ The Mexican ” featuring Latin
GRAMMY® Award winner Mireya Ramos on vocals and violin. The latter being “ Anna From Woohside (Beat Suite) ” and a cover of Stevie Wonder’s classic 1971 hit “ If You Really Love Me ” featuring vocals from
Maimouna Youssef.
In addition to their debut release, in 2020, Stretch and Bobbito will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their iconic ‘90s radio show, highlighted in their smash hit documentary “Radio That Changed Lives,” which memorialized the duos role in launching the careers of hip hop legends like Nas, Wu Tang, Notorious BIG and countless others. The Dj/Producers will perform key dates and cities with The M19s Band and some of the Emcees they debuted on their show 30 years ago.
In order to bring these projects to life, they assembled an A-list cast of musicians to comprise, The M19s Band—affectionately named after Manhattan’s old M19 bus. Back in the day, Bobbito hailed from the Upper West Side and Stretch called the Upper East Side home. This M19 doubled as an artery connecting these two halves of unique urban neighborhoods. It ultimately allowed them to cross cultures and demographic boundaries, much like the music on the album does today.
