The DROP—Westword: Best New Radio Station 2020

We’re so proud of our new station, The DROP!

Thank you Westword and the community!

Colorado’s high bar for quality, independent radio was raised yet again in 2019 when KUVO unveiled its newest station on the HD2 signal, The DROP. This listener-driven station focuses on hip-hop and R&B, digging into the genres’ stylistic roots while celebrating the next generation of sounds. Program director Nikki Swarn (who also DJs on the station under the moniker Amerykah Jones) is a twenty-year Colorado radio veteran who pays special attention to the local scene, ensuring that those from the Denver area make it to the airwaves. The self-proclaimed “people’s station for R&B and hip-hop” takes suggestions directly from listeners via social media, mixing requested tracks with the diverse tastes of hosts Bella Scratch, DJ Dif’Rent, Unique, and Maleman.
