The Baka Boyz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baka Boyz were radio hosts in the Miami area, who first achieved fame on the hip-hop/R&B radio station KPWR (Power 106 FM) in Los Angeles. They were heard every weekday morning, between 6 am and 10 am, on WMIB (The Beat 103.5).
The Baka Boyz were originally DJs in Bakersfield, California, before moving south to Los Angeles. They first began at Power 106 in 1992 with their show creation, Friday Nite Flavas. They also developed Power's live mixing "World Famous Roll Call". After achieving high ratings in the afternoon and morning slots at Power for seven years, the duo grew disaffected with Power's move to R&B, at the expense of hip-hop, and left. Shortly after leaving Power 106, the duo briefly had an Afternoon show on KKBT. Later, they decided to move north to KMEL San Francisco. They hosted the nationally syndicated "Hip Hop Master Mix", broadcast on over fifty stations nationwide. Finally, the Baka Boyz acted as talent scouts, discovering future LA radio star Big Boy, among others.
Since starting at The Beat 103.5 in Miami in March, they have become the #1 rated morning show in South Florida.
The Baka Boyz made the move to 93.5 KDAY in 2005. They currently host in the afternoons.
