Homeboyz Radio

Homeboyz Radio, known on air as HBR, is a Nairobi urban music station for fans of hip hop, R&B and dancehall, presented in English on 103.5 FM. It belongs to the Homeboyz entertainment group, whose other businesses include a production company, Homeboyz Productions, and a training school, the Music Technology Academy.

The Homeboyz name is older than the station. It goes back to 1992, when a group of music fans started the Homeboyz DJs, playing house parties and weddings with the slogan 'Keep the Krowds Movin'. Over the years the business moved from deejaying into recording studios, TV, live events and finally radio.

One presenter has defined HBR's sound more than most. Conrad Gray, a Jamaican-born broadcaster known as G Money, is credited with helping grow the station's audience and Kenya's dancehall scene. Together with Homeboyz Entertainment he was involved in concerts that brought Beenie Man, Chronixx and Konshens to Nairobi.

HBR made news in March 2021, when it took the Lift Off breakfast show off air. Shaffie Weru hosted it with DJ Joe Mfalme and DJ Neville, and the decision followed orders from the Communications Authority of Kenya. The regulator is also reported to have fined HBR Ksh1 million. G Money then took over mornings with G Money in the Morning.

Presenters at HBR have changed since then, so check the station's own pages for the current line-up. Tune to 103.5 FM in Nairobi, or stream Homeboyz Radio live from this page.
