The Fix turns 2!!!

For two years now The Fix has served as a beacon of light for Portland's hip-hop impassioned. What sprang from a labor of love, The Fix has developed into an entity all it's own. A place where people of a like mind can come to in celebration of the music we love. Deep rooted but not limited to hip-hop, The Fix thought it only appropriate to bring you a guest that helped build this culture we hold so dear. Ladies and gentlemen enter…Bobbito Garcia. Backed by the cats that have been consistently innovating, educating and always entertaining your thursdays. Ohmega Watts, Rev. Shines, Kez and Dun Diggy.

Bobbito Garcia aka Dj Cucumberslice aka Cool Bob Love has been a prominent fixture in nearly every facet of hip-hop and street culture since the 80's as a DJ, writer, actor, photographer, entrepreneur, street player, sneakerfreak, and member of the Rock Steady Crew.

Briefly after starting at Def Jam Bobbito linked up with Stretch Armstrong to form what The Source then named as "The Best Hip-Hop Radio Show of All Time". Rightfully so as the show was credited for introducing the world to then unsigned acts such as Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Big Pun, Fugees and Mobb Deep. Still on a mission to carry the underground through the 90's Bobbito formed the acclaimed indie label Fondle'Em records providing an outlet for MF Doom, Kool Kieth and Cage.

Aside from being a bonafide hip-hop legend Bobbito is still renowned in the street for his first love, basketball. A streetball performer himself with a group called "Project Playground Basketball" that has appeared on numerous TV slots and Knicks halftime shows. Always the protean Bobbito branched into other aspects of basketball founding the streetball mag Bounce while becoming a saught after announcer. Having done voice overs for Nike, the NBA Street franchise as well as joining the New York Knicks broadcast team, Bobbito is truly the voice of New York B ball.

Already questioning when the man has time to breathe, Bobbito is also and accomplished columnist for the likes of Vibe, Fader, Urb, and the Source. A sneaker connoisseur having authored a book on the subject and hosting show on ESPN "It's the Shoes". His list goes on and on. Clearly a testament to the fact that Bobbito is a true inspiration to all of us following our passions in life. Creating our own path and not following suit to the norm, which is of course what The Fix is all about. We cordially invite you to a come celebrate a milestone for us and what you our guests have helped create.
