Regional Media Revitalizes the Airwaves with Throwback Hip-Hop R&B

Macomb, IL – Answering the call of the community and tapping into the soaring popularity of Throwback Hip-Hop and R&B, Regional Media is proud to announce a fresh format on WMQZ 104.1, now branded as Icon 104.1 WMQZ, Throwback Hip-Hop and R&B. This strategic shift is a direct response to the overwhelming local demand for a musical journey back to the influential beats of the 90s and 2000s, a period that saw the meteoric rise of artists who reshaped music history.

The station will feature a star-studded lineup including Eminem, Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Alicia Keys – artists whose tracks not only topped charts worldwide but also defined a cultural era. Icon 104.1 WMQZ, Throwback Hip-Hop and R&B aims to satisfy Western Illinois’s growing appetite for nostalgic music that continues to resonate across generations.

“Hip hop and R&B from the 90s and early 2000s aren’t just music genres; they are cultural phenomena that resonate deeply with our listeners,” said Darren Brown, Chief Operating Officer for Regional Media. “The local community’s demand for these genres has been overwhelming, signaling a deep connection to the era that many thought was lost. By reintroducing these sounds, we are threading the past into the present in the most melodious way possible.”

This initiative is more than a format change; it’s a celebration of the enduring legacy of Hip-Hop and R&B, which have seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to their timeless appeal and renewed presence on social media platforms. Songs that once defined the youthful experiences of Generation X and Millennials are now being rediscovered by a new generation on TikTok and Instagram Reels, further cementing their status in the music landscape.

Icon 104.1 WMQZ, Throwback Hip-Hop and R&B not only promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane but also a vibrant cultural revival that engages listeners of all ages. Tune in to experience the magic of the beats that once ruled the airwaves and continue to influence the music industry today.
