<a href="/profile/funkmasterflex" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Funkmaster Flex</a>&#8217;s weekday time slot is perfectly suited for slight deviations in programming. After years of putting on for the culture and helping forge the radio station&#8217;s identity, Funk Flex can do as he pleases. It just so happens that tonight he wants to broadcast all of <a href="/profile/PushaClipse" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Pusha T</a>&#8217;s album, &#8220;front to back.&#8221; Mind you the album is only 7 songs deep, but it shows us just how much creative control has earned over time, and yes we can expect a few &#8220;bombs&#8221; on the set.
Funkmaster Flex&#8217;s endorsement of Pusha T is part of his undying commitment to &#8220;bars&#8221; and &#8220;battle rap.&#8221; Flex announced his decision on Twitter under the pretense of two slogans: #BarsStillMatter &amp; #SmokeStillMatters, two variables that need explanation. If Funk Flex is sworn to anything, it&#8217;s the preservation of those ideals. He&#8217;ll blow the house down with everyone inside, if it comes down to it.
<a href="/profile/daytona" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Daytona</a> is available to the public at the stroke of midnight, so in a sense Funk Flex is offering the very first listen for those not in Pusha T&#8217;s legitimate circle. The album has been hyped for over two years, but  Pusha T true to form, hasn&#8217;t yielded to public pressure. That being the case, we should expect an exemplar, and nothing less. Tune in at 7 P.M. on Hot 97 for dibs on the &#8220;premiere.&#8221;
