Phats has rocked parties and clubs with the best in the industry including: DJ Drama- the number 1 mixtape DJ in the world (after working with Bobby Phats, Drama aptly named Bobby Phats &ldquo;The Blastoff King&rdquo;), DJ Don Cannon, DJ Mars, DJ Biz Markie, DJ RUN (Rev Run), DJ/Producer Mannie Fresh and some of Houston&rsquo;s finest DJs. Bobby's radio show The Groove continues to prove there is much better music to be heard than what is being played on mainstream urban radio outlets. Each week brings exclusive, never before heard music from the underground scene, as well as the hottest and most talented names in hip-hop music. Long before audiences knew of now popular artists like Drake, Bryson Tiller, Phonte of Little Brother/Foreign Exchange, etc... Houston music fans heard these artists and many others on The Groove &ndash; sometimes years before reaching mainstream. Don&rsquo;t expect any hip-hop elitism here. The Groove represents a large variety of hiphop from many different regions. Expect to hear a good dose of progressive/alternative soul and r&b. Bobby loves to infuse lots of fresh sounds every week. Great interviews with local and national artists, fresh music and mixes from The Blastoff King and features co-host K Dubb. ]]></description>
