“So, like what are you going to do? What do you mean you’re not going to have anybody else? You can’t just stay on? You’ve got to figure out something. We need it. I can’t be at work and not hear the show. What the hell is wrong with you? Stop playing. You need to quit telling lies on the radio and finish the show... [This listener] called and basically just let me have it,” related Jaythreeoh.
After thirteen and a half years, Jaythreeoh, DJ of “The Slow Flow Show” at WITR, hosted his final show last Friday, February 6. Starting as a freshmen in college under the tutelege of DJ Chris G, his show continued on after he graduated, always as a volunteer position — five days a week from 9 to 12 in the morning. But it is now time for Jay to move on. Changes needed to be made, both for himself and for his family.
For the finale, Jaythreeoh brought in Rochester rappers and friends including L.I., Moses, Hassaan Mackey, Geech Lorenz, DJ D1 Imperial, DJ BackSpin, Coach Bill & Destroy and DJ Sight. Going over its scheduled time by an hour and a half, the show included freestyle performances by most of the guest rappers, including a couple rhymes from Jaythreeoh’s longtime friend, Flirt, who doesn’t normally spit lyrics.

“That was probably the best show I have ever seen,” said Michelle Corneau, general manager of WITR. Jay went out with a bang.
For the past two weeks fans and friends have been calling and emailing about him leaving. There is no scheduled hip-hop show anymore at WITR. In Jay’s words, “There are some big shoes to fill.”
Jaythreeoh ended his final show on an emotional note, saying, “You can’t tell me not to cry, man. I don’t care what you want to call me. I can’t say ‘until the next time,’ but I’ll say it this time for the last time: Fat chicks rule the planet y’all. Peace, love and blub.”
