As exclusively revealed by MBW in October 2018, former BBC Radio 1 hip-hop DJ Charlie Sloth is heading to Apple Music.
Today, (January 14) details of his new Beats 1 show were officially announced in an interview with Zane Lowe.
The Charlie Sloth Rap Show will air on Saturday, January 19 at 8pm.
Sloth will also be getting a Charlie Sloth playlist on Apple Music and a Charlie Sloth Fire In The Booth (FITB) playlist.
As reported in October, Sloth owns the rights to the FITB franchise, and was licensing it back to the BBC.
That arrangement ended with his departure – and in episode one of the new show, Sloth will have a FITB from Headie One, K-Trap, Blade Brown and Ambush Buzzworl.
“I think that [Beats 1] provide a platform that is future-proof and for me, I’ve always been about the artists and what service I can provide to the artists and also to the listener.”
