Phat Beats Radio

An internet radio station with roots in pirate FM broadcasting. The outlet began as an unlicensed over-the-air FM station in Houston, Texas in 2001, continuing to transmit in that format until 2008, when it transitioned fully to internet radio. Since that shift, it has operated exclusively online. Programming centers on hip-hop, with editorial content including album reviews and commentary covering the genre's history and contemporary releases.
