DJ Stretch Armstrong

DJ Stretch Armstrong

DJ Stretch Armstrong is a ska and power pop band from Provo, Utah, in the United States. Despite the hip hop tag attached to the entry, the group is identified by its origin and type as a band rather than a solo DJ act.

Style and activity

The act is associated with hip hop in the available listing, but the biographical details given describe a New York radio DJ and personality who works with underground and mainstream artists, rather than a group with a conventional band discography.

Stretch Armstrong is known for co-hosting the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Radio Show on WKCR-FM 89.9 FM, also known as 89 Tek-Nine, with Bobbito Garcia from 1990 to 1998. After leaving that show, he goes on to present another programme on Hot 97 in New York City.

He also releases several mixtapes and works with a wide range of underground and popular artists. The mixtapes feature appearances from Pretty Ugly, Royce Da 5'9", Krumbsnatcha, Company Flow, R.A. The Rugged Man, Shadez Of Brooklyn and Hillfiguz.

Other appearances
