Thursdays because we're so popu-

Their popularity has brought the
team a following among teen-agers
in the community and a certain
amount of power in the record in-
dustry as artists and promoters vie
to get radio airplay.
"These guys have been consistent
for four years. They're known in the
community. The kids giggle and
poke each other when Mike and
Randy go to schools," RTF Chairman
Fred Weiss said.
"If s our most popular show, no
doubt," he added.
The Supreme Team oversees a staff
of six: Big Chill, the Pleasure Cruise,
J-Nice, the Righteous Black Man,
Dr. Rock, Sir Smooth and D-Mack.

Clad in a black jogging suit and ■
red Adidas, Jam crouches over the
turntables like a surgeon about to
perform a delicate procedure.
As he cues up LL Cool J, one head-
phone cocked to his ear and one
dangling loosely, he spins the record
back and forth, listening for a funky
hook at the beginning of the track.
Jam is a slim man with a quiet
voice that turns on with the micro-
phone and back off while the music
plays.
He sports none of the huge rings
or thick gold chains so common
among hip-hoppers and does his
job methodically, even humbly.
