Subsoniq is a 2-3 hour block of underground Hip-Hop. Some of these artist would never be played on Hip Hop Nation or Shade 45.
It was an XM show and during the late days of XM it was even a push for Subsoniq to become it's own channel.
After the merger, Leo G brought the Subsoniq guys over to Hip Hop Nation and they had a 2 hour block of time on Sunday night.
When Leo G got canned, whoever was in charge moved the show to Tuesdays on Backspin but given an extra hour.
Everything was cool because the show has paid tributes to different non-underground hip hop legends and had sit down interviews with artist new on the scene.
Last night was suppose to be a 3 hour tribute to the late Big Pun but that didn't even make the airwaves.
The people that ran the show did a lot more than any of the other shows on the hip hop channels such as posting a real time feed of what artist and track being played and taking ideas for the next show via Facebook.
