It came as such a shock to everyone, but we are also SO happy for Angie and the moves she’s about to make, so it’s definitely bittersweet. Though it was only a few months, I learned SO much working next to Angie in that Hot 97 studio. It was such an honor to share a room with her, to be able to give her MY opinion, to talk ON AIR with her! Wow, a dream come true for sure.
Every day after school I would come home and sit Indian style on the floor of my bedroom and listen to Angie. I used to say, “Man I wish I was that guy Monse. He always gets shout outs!” I used to call all the time but I never got through…yet years later, I’d end up working right next to the iconic “Voice Of New York.” To the very last day, I would sit in the room with awe, amazed that THE Angie Martinez cared about MY crazy little weekend.
