About this listen

For more than three decades, DJ EZ Eddie D has been a steady presence on Dallas airwaves and a quiet force in the city’s hip-hop culture. In this episode, Eddie traces his path from Cincinnati to Oak Cliff, from early club nights to KNON and Knowledge Dropped, a show that became a home for true school hip-hop and social commentary.

We talk about the Oak Cliff music scene of the ’80s and ’90s, the loss of local infrastructure, and what it meant to break records before algorithms took over. Eddie reflects on community, craft, and the importance of local radio, sharing stories of Biggie, KRS-One, early SXSW days, and more from his nearly 40 years in the Dallas music scene.
