iHeartMedia Urban KRRL-FM (Real 92.3) Los Angeles adds USRN syndicated "The Bootleg Kev Show" weekdays from 10pm-2am, effective Thursday, August 19, giving listeners their nightly fix of hip hop lifestyle, music, fashion, history, culture, community and more. Originally from Phoenix, Bootleg Kev has been in radio for over 15 years with stops in Las Vegas, Tampa, Phoenix and previously at Real 92.3 in L.A.

"We are really excited to welcome Bootleg Kev back on our airwaves in support of his new syndicated venture," said iHeartMedia President of Hip Hop and R&B Programming Strategy Doc Wynter. "Kev left an indelible mark in the minds of hip hop fans in Los Angeles. I know they'll be happy to hear him on the air again on Real 92.3."

"At the beginning of the year, I bet on myself heavy and launched my own syndicated show with United Stations. Right away, getting back on the #1 hip hop station in Los Angeles was my goal," added Bootleg Kev. "With the help & guidance of Brian Samson, Tim Richards and my United Stations team, we are here and back on at Real 92.3. I want to thank Doc Wynter, DJ A-Oh and the wonderful team at Real 92.3 for always having my back. I'm very excited to grace the Los Angeles airwaves again every night alongside my team: Pacoima's finest James Andre Jefferson Jr., DJ Sam I Am and the best producer in the game Nico Blitz."

"It has been a great year working on this show with Kev and his team," said United Stations Senior Vice President of Content/Affiliation Stefan Jones. "It is always fun when you know you have something special. Huge thanks to Doc Wynter, A-Oh and John Peake for putting this together. And, of course, the stellar people at USRN -- notably, Andy Denemark, Greg Janoff, Charlie Colombo and Nick Verbitsky."

"The Bootleg Kev Show" launched in April through USRN and is currently heard in Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Oxnard-Ventura, Las Vegas, Orlando and now Los Angeles.
