Mixtape Madness is a weekly celebration of the history, culture, and art of mixtapes

Mixtape Madness is hosted by Southern California's MizBehavin. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Compton, MizBehavin's life has always been all about music: the daughter of a radio station employee, her uncle taught her how to scratch and spin records at a young age, and later in life she worked for KKBT FM-92.3 The Beat, one of LA's top hip hop and R&B stations, where she learned the ins-and-outs of the industry.

"That scene in Straight Outta Compton where Dr. Dre lies on the floor with the records spread about resonated so deeply with me... I cried. I still do that!," MizBehavin says. She grew up surrounded by her family's massive record collection, which included the works of music legends like Al Green, Shalamar, Luther Vandross, Rick James, The Gap Band, Teena Marie, ConFunkShun, The Commodores, Midnight Starr, The Jacksons, Earth, Wind, & Fire and countless more.

With a taste in music honed through a lifetime of exposure to the very best, MizBehavin brings listeners the very best in classic and old school hip hop, piquing listeners' interest in innovative rap and the art of the mixtape. Listeners inspired to create their own mixtapes can earn themselves a spotlight on the show, which also hosts weekly competitions, judged by the listeners, in search of the next mixtape superstar.

Mixtape Madness airs here on RAPstation Wednesdays at 7:00PM EST.
