Sunday Night Slow Jams 30th Anniversary Party Hosted by R-Dub!
SUNDAY NIGHT SLOW JAMS® 30TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY
AT THE DIAMOND CENTER!
Born in Chicago and growing up in L.A. and Orlando, Florida, R Dub! spent his time listening to various late night “Slow Jams®” type radio shows around the country. At age 15, after moving to Tucson, Arizona with his family, R Dub! got his first chance in radio, volunteering at the local public radio station. By the time R Dub! was a junior in high school, he was the full-time Slow Jams® show host at the local hip-hop station, where Sunday Nite Slow Jams® was born in 1994. As the years went by, and radio stations came and went, R Dub! managed to keep the Sunday Nite Slow Jams® alive, taking them with him wherever he went.
