Zach “The Faz” Hudson doesn’t refer to his radio show “The Crunk Report” on Green River Community College’s KGRG 89.9 FM as a show. He calls it a movement. That’s because for Hudson, as well as cohost Paul “Mr. G” Davidson and producer Matt “Killing Spree” Anderson, it’s about spreading the good word, changing minds and attitudes and recruiting new disciples. “When I started at KGRG, almost four years ago to the day, I had some pretty different ideas about what I wanted to do with the radio,” Hudson said. “You hear all the Justin Bieber crap, or whatever on the radio.” For Hudson, lightweight, bubblegum pop, was not an option. “I’ve always enjoyed the Kottonmouth Kings, ICP (Insane Clown Posse), the stuff on Suburban Noise Records and Psychopathic, that kind of music,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to bring that type of music to the radio because it has such a huge fan base. Most stations are afraid to play it. College, commercial, they’re all afraid to play it.” Intitially, even independent KGRG didn’t want to play it. Hudson, who sports an ICP medallion around his neck and considers himself a Juggalo (slang for fans of ICP), said that because some of the music that he wanted to program – much of it metal-inflected, punk-inspired rap music with controversial and sometimes violent themes – was distasteful to many, he had to fight for his vision. “They either weren’t down with the music, or they didn’t like the idea, maybe thought it was too controversial or risky, but they didn’t want to do it,” he said. “But finally, Ken West our program director, actually sat down and listened to why I wanted to do the show and what I wanted to do with it, and let me have my own specialty show.” Hudson and Davidson say they’ve become accustomed to people looking down at them for their musical tastes. But they wear that as a badge of pride. “A lot of people will badmouth Juggaloes and that type of music because they see the negative in it, they see the bad,” Davidson said. “They think it’s just a bunch of gang members beating people up, but that’s not what it’s really about. We see it for what it really is. It’s a family thing.” “We try and push for the family part of it,” Hudson said. “The real Juggalos are in it for the family. They respect each other, they’re kind to one another. That’s what I’m all about.” And although Juggalos are occasionally branded criminal for their connection with various crimes, Hudson said it wasn’t about being a criminal. “I can’t speak for every Juggalo out there, I can just run the show and do what we do,” he said. “On the show we’re open minded and lively people. The music we play may be violent or vulgar or have suggestive themes, but if people really open their mind and check it out, they’ll realize that we’re not bad, we’re just three friends who just want to spread the music.” “The Crunk Report” airs every Wednesday from 10 p.m. to midnight. Davidson – who helms “Late Night Death” every Friday from midnight to 3 a.m. – and Hudson also collaborate occasionally with the “Late Night Crunk” show.
