After a five-year famine, Twin Cities hip-hop lovers were served a feast on the FM dial in the past year, starting with the all-retro Hot 102 and Vibe 105. Even Snoop Dogg can only take so much "Gin and Juice," though. Then along came Go 93.5 FM in January, a hip-hop offshoot of the similarly millennial-baiting rock station Go 96.3. The station has exceeded expectations with its relatively broad playlist, ranging from bigwigs Jay-Z, Drake and Kanye to cooler innovators Chance the Rapper and Big Sean to occasional hometown favorites Lizzo and Prof. More spins from the latter two categories would be nice, but there's still plenty for those of us who didn't stop listening to rap music when Tupac and Biggie died.
