Our Story
Funky Fresh Radio is the heartbeat of Boston’s Hip Hop community. For more than three decades, we’ve lived, built, and pushed the culture forward, making an undeniable impact on the New England music scene.
Founded and led by Rusti Pendleton, known to many as Rusty the Toe Jammer and now as Mr. Funky Fresh, our story began with Rustin himself behind the turntables. Starting as a DJ in the early days of Boston Hip Hop, he went on to create Funky Fresh Records, a hub for music and culture. His voice and vision carried onto the airwaves, first with shows on WRBB (Northeastern University) during the early years of hip hop, and later through Touch FM 106.1 and The Urban Heat 98.1 FM with “Music Industry Education 101.”
That legacy has grown into something bigger: New England’s own 24/7 radio station solely dedicated to Boston Hip Hop, Funky Fresh Radio
