Brown was best known as a longtime radio personality, disc jockey and one half of the legendary Boodah Brothers on WOWI (103 Jamz). He and his best friend and radio partner, Christopher "Big B" Belcher, started at WOWI in 1992, with their pioneering rap program, "Ya Mamma's Rap Show". Over the next decade, they rose through the radio trenches hitting every on-air shift and introducing the many sounds and eras of hip-hop along the way. Many nationally known rappers and DJs credit Brown with breaking the records that led to their success. In 2004 the Boodah Brothers were moved from the afternoon drive to the morning show. Brown used that opportunity to be a greater community activist calling attention to causes like AIDS and homelessness. He spoke often at local schools and enjoyed reading to elementary school children. |
