Puttin in mad work behind the scenes in radio for years is your girl Lil Nat. In fact for cats like me in the so-called underground circuit heavy, Hot 97fm in NYC is a whack-ass station that plays bullshit Rap for the most part. However, certain people that work for them are mad cool and deserving of much respect because of their work ethic, persistence, and talent... people like Lil Nat. She has been puttin mad work in for name brand radio personalities, held down gigs in other markets, produced her own spots and engineered segments for others as well. Her overnight hours and schedule make her one of those work horse DJs on the come up who is being groomed for something much bigger. Still, it would be sad if the corporate machine one day destroys her sense of independence and integrity. And yet, there but for the grace of the Gods go all of us on this side of the media outlet. During the interview I had with Lil Nat at the Drahma Magazine Media Blitz affair, we kicked it about a lot of relevant topics which made for a great conversation. She has a quick and rational mind with experience she seems to be proud of rather than jaded by. Some industry cats become regretful of the 'long hard road to wherever you're at' and act like arrogant brats. Not so here. To Lil Nat, I wish you all the success you have earned. Just keep the big picture of Hip Hop Culture, and civilization for the uncivilized in mind.One Love - Kurt Nice.
