What is For the People Radio? A radio station made by the people for the people.
WEEKLY PLAYLISTS // NEW MUSIC // ARTIST DISCOVERY For the People Radio was founded in 2019, by Nicholas Crook, with the idea that new music is so hard to find. Sure... you can turn on the radio, but it's usually the same 20 songs playing over and over again. Finding new music takes work and most people don't want to take the time to do so. So that is where @ftpradio was born. Find freshly curated playlist each week - from people like you! (By the People). If you want to be someone who makes a playlist, text us at (346) 808-0096. We will get back to you!
About the curator behind For the People Radio:
Hey, I'm Nick! I work behind the scenes discovering new music, artists, and creating most of the content you see. I am currently in Fort Wayne, IN, USA and to say I love music is an understatement. I remember being a kid and getting iTunes gift cards for birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays. I spent hours listening to the 30 second clips of songs trying to find the music I wanted to actually spend the gift cards on. The first album I purchased was Stevie Wonder "Signed Sealed Delivered". My music taste has gone through many changes over the years and I currently am enjoy the stuff you find on the "For the People" playlist on Spotify. My family and I are working on building out a van conversion to travel and see more of North America/South America. We hope to see you along the way! - Nick

Growing up in Detroit, Quinn XCII was raised on the city’s Motown musical history, fueling a passion for myriad musical genres from rock to reggae to funk to hip-hop. As a sophomore at Michigan State, Quinn XCII began to write and record his own music, quickly becoming a college mixtape sensation. Traveling frequently to Ann Arbor to record new material with his childhood friend producer ayokay, Quinn XCII began to craft his own laid-back sound that drew on hip-hop, electronic, and tropical influences. (The Vogue, 2016)
On March 5, 2021, Quinn XCII dropped his latest album.

Who is JID? One of the most relentless rappers out right now. His album DiCaprio 2 is this weeks AOTW (album of the week) listen here.
JID (Destin Choice Route) has been on the scene for a while, but was signed to Dreamville Records, which was founded by J. Cole, back in February 2017. Growing up in East Atlanta, he had to learn to roll with the punches. During his young life, he found himself diving into sports and trying to go places with that. Which eventually led him to getting a D1 scholarship to Hampton University in Virginia. Where he would meet Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot, who would change his life. "DiCaprio 2 turns 2 today this project taught me a lot about myself, also gave me space to becoming the performer I’ve always wanted to be. We toured 170+ dates in 2019 off of this and the Dreamville project..this next album cycle is very close, it’s also a holiday so I’m very thankful for this body of work and everyone who helped or came to a show, bought Merch, I fuckin love u #TFS incoming" - JID (instagram). Be sure to find JID online and follow him to see what he is working on next.
