J RECORDS RECORDING ARTIST BABY BASH TO CO-HOST THE TOP 10 ON THE WEEKEND TOP 30 RHYTHM MIX WITH HOST RAMIRO

New York, NY – October 13, 2009 -- J Records recording artist Baby Bash will co-host the Top 10 songs on the Rhythmic CHR/Urban version of The Weekend Top 30 with host Ramiro.   On the show, which airs the weekend of October 17 and 18, Baby Bash will tell listeners the inside scoop on his next CD and share his humorous take on recent headlines in music news including stories surrounding Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Cassie and more.  Baby Bash is riding the wave of smash single “Outta Control.”  In recent years, he’s has worked on tracks with Flo Rida, Plies, Jennifer Lopez, Carlos Santana, Pimp C, UGK, Nate Dogg and more.  His music has become a staple on radio, with a string of hits including “Suga, Suga,” “Baby, I’m back,” and “Cyclone.”

Growing up in Vallejo, California, Baby Bash found inspiration in classic west coast rap as a kid, and his passion for hip hop pushed him to excel as an independent rapper at a young age. "I did it all on my own. I grew up in the hood, and I've seen the worst of the worst.  Even through the tough times, I was always a jolly dude. I know that life, and it inspired me to do something positive with my music."

THE WEEKEND TOP 30 is a three-hour weekend countdown produced in two different mixes in order to serve both the Rhythmic CHR/Urban and Mainstream CHR and formats.  Sean “Hollywood” Hamilton hosts the Mainstream version and Ramiro Torres hosts the Rhythmic program each week.  The Weekend Top 30 has a long and successful track record of bringing affiliates and listeners the thirty biggest hits of the week along with guest appearances.  The Weekend Top 30 first aired in 1998 and the show has been nominated by Radio & Records as “National Syndicated Radio Show of the Year.”  The combined CHR and Rhythmic CHR/Urban networks can currently be heard in nearly 100 markets across the United States.   The Weekend Top 30 Rhythm version airs coast to coast and can also be heard streaming via the websites of such affiliates as KGGI/Riverside (found at www.991KGGIfm.com), KDWB/Minneapolis found at www.KDWB.com and KWIN / KWNN Stockton, CA found at www.KWIN.com, and KUUU/Salt Lake City found at www.U92online.com.  The show's website is at www.weekendtop30.com.
