Affiliates Notified Of New HeadKrack Morning Show Coming In 2020.

Story by Inside Radio

The official announcement is still to come, but current affiliates of the Reach Media-syndicated “Rickey Smiley Morning Show” are being notified of plans for a new morning show anchored by Smiley show member HeadKrack.

As earlier reported by Inside Radio, Smiley will succeed Tom Joyner, who is retiring at the end of the year. Smiley will assume current Joyner affiliates on urban AC stations, while HeadKrack will be the centerpiece of a new morning show that will air on urban contemporary stations currently carrying Smiley.

“We are very excited to let you know we are building a mainstream urban show around HeadKrack for next year as well, and will be in touch soon to discuss with you,” a memo to affiliates reads. “As a reminder, The Rickey Smiley Morning Show continues as you currently hear it, for the remainder of 2019.”

A Bronx, NY native, HeadKrack began his radio career doing nights at Radio One rhythmic CHR “97.9 The Beat” KBFB Dallas. He’s won multiple underground hip-hop battles across the country and was a featured artist on the 2003 and 2004 Vans Warped Tour, and has made numerous performances at festivals nationwide. HeadKrack won Atlanta’s 2010 Red Bull Emcee Battle and has performed onstage with Run DMC, Common, Jurassic 5, De La Soul, Big Pun, Wyclef Jean (The Fugees) and Xzibit.
