What is Generation Rap? Produced and hosted by area high school students, Generation Rap gives young people a platform to use their voices, share their perspectives, and lead meaningful conversations about the issues that matter most to their generation. Generation Rap originated in 1987 as one of the first teen talk shows to air on a commercial radio station in the United States. For generations, Generation Rap has provided Kansas City teens with something powerful—a microphone, a platform, and an opportunity to be heard. Generation Rap — produced by teens, powered by their voices, and connecting generations every Saturday morning, 8:00am – 9:00am on Hot 103 Jamz.
