(Angie Martinez, Miss Info, and myself at Beacon Theatre NYC, for the the Tribecca Film Festival with Nas, "Time Is Illmatic.")
It's a sad day for hip hop lovers in the NJ/NYC tri state area. Earlier today, Hot97 was posting on social media to tune in for a "big announcement." Angie Martinez, "the voice of New York," announced that she is resigning from Hot97. Minutes later, Ang posted THIS Instagram, Twitter & Facebook.
No word on who her replacement will be. However, there are rumors stating that Angie will be going to New Yorks OTHER hip hop radio station, Power 105. After Angie posted her resignation on Twitter, the OFFICIAL Power 105 Twitter account, replied to her tweet with a smiley face!
Listening to The Angie Martinez Show earlier today, I could definitely hear how emotional everyone was, especially DJ Enuff, who was crying PRETTY badly. Ang has been part of the Hot97 family for over 20 years!
It should be interesting to see how this plays out. I really can't see Angie working at Power 105. Since she starred on VH1 reality show "This Is Hot97," I'm sure she (amongst others that were on the show) have received some TV offers.
RIP to The Angie Martinez Show. That radio station will not be the same, and as far as a replacement for her show, there simply can be NO replacement.
