DJ's such as DJ Avee, Sizzahands, Spinbad, Johnny Juice, DJ Eclipse, LS One, DJ Dummy, DJ Skribble, Slynke, DJ White Lightning would always be in the building. That show was the original home of Hip Hop and where Cipha Sounds got his start. When WildMan Steve cracks the mic and speaks and hear his melodious voice you are compelled to listen. He is also a master of vocal characterizations of people, voices and classic cartoons.
In 1999 he teamed up with Rap veterans Chuck D and Gary G Wiz to help form the pioneering internet radio station Bringthenoise.com. He hosted two weekly shows The Count Down Show an hour long show featuring the hottest top ten joints of the week. The Hip Hop Spot was the other weekly show which featured classic old school and underground hits. In 2001 WildMan took his talents to television with Sub Culture Radio a weekly hour long radio video show on Cablevision's Public Access where he interviews current and Old School artist as well as play there videos. Currently, this show is still airing Mon. nights on Cable. Then in 2004 Chuck D asked him to host Back To The Tracks on his World Wide Hip Hop Count Down which is featured on AOL and Netscape Radio. Chuck's show is a two hour Top Twenty Count Down Show consisting of some of today's hottest music and interviews. The show features interviews from Davey D and news from the Poetess and production by veteran producer Alex Mejia. The Back To The Tracks segment of the show is where WildMan Steve takes the listeners back in time with Hip Hop classics, and Old School R&B with information pertaining to the artist and events that took place during that time. And when he says "Back in The Day" he means it, he's not referring to the year 1999 like some Rap Stations do. He goes back to 1979 the year that Rap music was recorded on vinyl records.
