It’s always great to see dudes you came up with make it big. Peter Rosenberg went to school with me at the University of Maryland.

As I made my way over the Tappan Zee Bridge, I flipped on Hot 97 and whose voice do I hear? Peter Rosenberg. Wow. My dude got his own show on the biggest radio station in NYC.
Since then I’ve been checking for him steadily because I love to support my fellow Terp alumni. Plus he plays real hip-hop on his show which is refreshing in this day and age of fluffy radio content.
