[edit] Notable programming
- Basementalism is a radio show highlighting underground hip-hop artists. It has spawned a record company, and the format of the show has been copied by radio stations in places as far away as Poland and South Africa. In 2002, the Basementalism crew came out with a mixtape called "TOO DAMN HYPE!". Mixed by DJs Inka One and Thought, the mixtape featured exclusive tracks and freestyles from Murs, DJ Z-Trip, DJ Melo-D, Eyedea, and others. From 2004-2005 Basementalism was also featured in weekly segments on The Real Hip-Hop TV Show that broadcasted on Denver Public Access. Segments included live interviews with The Perceptionists, The Procussions, and DJs Q-Bert & Flare. Judge Mental also wrote hip hop music reviews for the Colorado Daily at this same time period. In 2003 Double U Thomas of Poland created what has become Basementalism Poland, a European branch of Basementalism. Basementalism Poland intially began as a way of translating Basementalism's website for the Polish audience. However, Double U Thomas went on to produce several radio shows throughout Poland, write articles for Poland's Hip-Hop Magazines (including Klans), and produce and sponsor hip-hop shows in Poland.
