It Is What It Is Hour is a music oriented show where the host DJ Beam / Jarett will make a custom playlist of music every week to discuss, along with relevant or anticipated happenings in the industry. All of the playlists will be curated from DJ Beam's library, with the occasional guest collaborating on a playlist and joining the discussion in-studio or by phone from across the country. All genres are welcome and appreciated, with Rap, Indie, and House/Electronic being the Holy Trinity forming the basis for the show. |
