Tim Westwood

BBC Radio 1, London, UK

Tim Westwood is keeping the radio on LOCKdown. Twice a week he's out there on BBC's Radio 1, reppin' as the most influential hip hop radio geezer on the continent. He's British, 40something, doesn't drink, has no family except the kids who be rolling with his street team, and the one million listeners he pulls in to his radio world every week. But that ain't no haps, as he has a passion for the game. If it's going to be up there, he needs to be down. Making it happen. In his words, "Truly man, let's make it happen. Yo, that is a number one hit across the world. That's the real. It is what it is, though. It's real. That's the way it's going down, with the Radio 1 rap show. Yeah, man. People is really feeling that, so that should be real flavour".
