All,
Your receiving this letter because in some form or another you’ve shown amazing support for satellite radio’s “Subsoniq” over the years. Earlier this week we received the unfortunate news that Sirius XM had removed us from the platform! For 8+ years we’ve been doing all we can to support/expose good, soulful, progressive music, and truly give some shine to hip hop that may not always get the recognition it deserves (especially on radio).
We can only hope over the years we’ve helped to bring some of the music you (make, promote, love) to a wider national audience by putting our all into our show every week, and playing what we love/feel, not what some Program Director tells us to play! Likewise you all have inspired and given us amazing amounts of music and support from day one and for that we are extremely grateful.
We would by lying to say we weren’t crushed/angered by Sirius XM’s hasty decision to take us off air. However, like any good fighter, we get up, dust ourselves off, and get ready to fight again. Problem is we need to hear the the support of our corner.
We know time is very valuable to all these days, but if you can find a few minutes to drop Sirius XM an e-mail expressing “what Subsoniq has meant to you as an (artist, promoter, hip hop fan)” we would be forever in debt.
You can write (in a separate e-mail) backspin@siriusxm.com and express these thoughts, however long or short.
Hope all is well with you and yours, and for those on the road…many safe travels.
Many Thanks,
K-Murdock
