As you may have gathered from my other reviews, Virginia Beach doesn't have too many options as far as radio stations go, and that goes for pretty much every genre of music. But especially for rap, hip-hop and R&B, the selection is very limited. 103 Jamz is one of the best and longest running rap, hip-hop and R&B stations in the area and I hope it continues its reign. With well known jocks, funny contests and local events 103 Jamz is a staple in the community.
As a reggae lover, my radio selection is almost non existent and that's why I have to love 103 Jamz. Every Sunday I tune into Bad Joe and the Caribbean Shakedown and get a touch of the islands I've come to love and miss. Yes, even here the reggae selection is Americanized, static, standard and dated, but it's the best that we get. Reggae, Latin, Soca, and all the rest--they are playing it every Sunday morning until about 2pm. Again, this is like a starter kit for Caribbean and reggae music. It'll get you started, but you're going to have to tune into a local island station to know what's really hot. read more
