When night falls on Kean University and restless students need a voice to start the night, they need only to tune into Kean's own WKNJ 90.3 FM and listen to the voices of Shavon Hogges and Lamar Green. The two junior communications and media film major students are the body behind the dynamic voices that reign over the Kean airwave. Hogges and Green have been driving the Kean station since spring and fall 08, respectively. Fortunately for Kean students, plans for the two music careers are on the move and the campus will surely hear their sound. Shavon Hogges, also known as DJ S.Dot, is on the air from 8 p.m. till 9 p.m., three nights a week with WKNJ. His Wednesday show, The Finisher, follows Green's Wednesday airtime, Redikalis Radio, starting at 7 p.m. Hogges other time slots to spin run as Preparation Thursdays and Motivation Fridays. During his air time, Hogges spins hip hop, R & B, reggae and has recently incorporated house music. While Green acts as a radio personality during his time slot, Green is primarily a music artist. His music and lyrical talents are no stranger to the campus as he has preformed in almost every appropriate venue to demonstrate his skills.

Both students, in fact, come with experiences that qualify them to be the voice of Kean night-life. Green, as an artist under the handle "Redikalis", has participated in Kean venues such as E.E.O. Talent Shows, fashion shows, The "Rap Meets Poetry" event, and others. Where there were winners announced Green consistently stole the show taking the home grade prize and respect for what he spits. His lyrical content is both developed and articulate; one should not confuse his rap skills with an amateur.

In the past, Kean University regular, DJ Wallah, recognized Green's talents and played his single, Drink On. Students listened and responded, eager to hear more. Hogges even recalls times where WKNJ would receive requests for Green's music. Green knows his impact on the listening student body and has made performing for them his new endeavor. He looks to perform at major Kean events in the future.

What Hogges brings to the table is experience that spans beyond the campus level. He has spun in clubs such as Elizabeth's Dolce and Club Miami, Patterson's Quest Lounge, and Passiac's Medusa's and Lawrence's. While he can spin whatever music we wants to, Hogges operates under the Hot 97 record pool for a majority of what he airs. With the positive feedback, constant requests, and student shout outs he receives, Hogges considers himself successful at the turntable. At this past Campus Awareness event, Hogges provided the musical entertainment and had the crowd showing their swagger. Recently, Kean University event-host regular, DJ Nix-in-the Mix, has taken Hogges in association with his music family and Hogges could not be more enlivened by the opportunity. Hogges is currently trying to build a professional portfolio that may benefit his career for the future.

If any student should find themselves asking who DJ S.Dot or Redikalis are, they should make sure to tune into WKNJ 90.3 to find out first hand. The campus is sure to host more of their performances in the future, so students should keep an eye out for those as well. As opportunities further present themselves to these two talented students, their careers are evolving and Kean students should prepare themselves for what happens next.
