Black Star Radio

Hosted by DJ Underdog

Black Star Radio takes listeners on a late-night journey through the music and voices of Africa, the Caribbean, and the wider global Black diaspora. Host DJ Underdog blends carefully curated selections with storytelling and conversation about history, art, wellness, and food sovereignty, treating the airwaves as a gateway to the people and movements behind the sound. A D.C.-based DJ, educator, designer, and organizer, he has performed alongside artists including Questlove, Thundercat, and Femi Kuti. The program exists to preserve culture, challenge dominant narratives, and amplify stories commercial media overlooks — guided by his own principle that music is the message and community is the purpose.
