DJ Whoo Kid & WHOZFIRE: Indie Artists Land Shade 45 Airplay

When DJ Whoo Kid pulls up, you know it’s not just another night in hip hop—it’s a moment. WHOZFIRE founder Kayo and Whoo Kid’s history runs deep, dating back to 2018 when the legendary DJ first appeared on Kayo’s original show, Roast N Review. Their bond has only grown stronger, with Whoo Kid even serving as a guest judge at Shaquille O’Neal’s house during the historic WHOZFIRE x Shaq music tournament in December 2024.

Fast forward to now, and the two linked up once again—this time live from Invite Only Studios in New York City. Kayo came armed with a curated playlist of indie artists from WHOZFIRE.com, carefully selected for the Shade 45 tastemaker himself. And just like history has shown, the music didn’t disappoint.

Whoo Kid was blown away by what he heard. On the spot, he promised radio airplay on Shade 45 for every artist showcased—and went even further, giving one lucky artist an exclusive interview live on the station. That’s the kind of career-changing moment most indie artists only dream about.

But here’s the real game-changer: these opportunities don’t come with a price tag. They come from having great music and putting it in the right place. WHOZFIRE makes that possible. Artists from all over the world are submitting for free at Whozfire.com, and Kayo is making sure the best records get played in front of the people who can open real doors.

This isn’t exposure for clout—it’s exposure with benefits. From Shade 45 spins to interviews, to placements, to features—WHOZFIRE is proving time and again that it’s the platform where independent artists get discovered and rewarded.

Kayo sums it up with the mantra that fuels the movement: “Let’s make music great again and let’s reward artists who make great music.”

If your music is fire, there’s only one question left: why haven’t you submitted yet?
