History


During their early years, Alaska and Windnbreeze were active members of the Atoms Family, a group of emcees and DJs in New York's hip-hop underground.[1] During their time working with the rest of the family, they made songs like "Prison" on the Euphony album, which personified the unique sound they were to have and the solo success they would become. The group's name is an homage to the Megadeth song Hangar 18.[citation needed]


In 2002, they picked up DJ Pawl and on June 15, 2004, Hangar 18 released The Multi-Platinum Debut Album. October 23, 2007, the sequel arrived. The group released Sweep the Leg.[1]


On February 24, 2009, the trio announced their breakup. They said that the inspiration that held them together was no longer there and it wouldn't have been fair to themselves or their fans to continue to make music that they weren't passionate about.[citation needed]


Windnbreeze took a hiatus from music for a few years and then began writing again and collaborated with Alaska and Cryptic One. The three of them dropped an album, Sands, in 2014. Windnbreeze has his first solo album, G.O. Bliss, coming up in December 2015.[citation needed]


Pawl continues to write and direct commercials.[citation needed]


In February 2015, Alaska released Altkast[2] through Hello L.A.[3] It featured him and appearances from Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro, and Elsphinx over some Outkast beats.[4] The project was mixed by his friend/producer Lang Vo.[5] Lang Vo then took the vocals from the project and placed them over his new original productions. This was sent to Alaska and fueled the start of a new project called Words Hurt.[6] With Lang Vo on production and Alaska on vocals, they released their first studio album, Fuck That Pretty Boy Shit, in April 2016.[7]

AM broadcasting

"AM Radio" redirects here. For the song by Everclear, see AM Radio (song). For the American musical group, see AM Radio (band). AM broadcasting is a radio broadcasting technology, which employs amplitude modulation (AM) transmissions. It was the first method developed for making audio radio transmissions, and is still used worldwide, primarily for medium wave (also known as "AM band") transmissions, but also on the longwave and shortwave radio bands. The earliest experimental AM transmissions were begun in the early 1900s. However, widespread AM broadcasting was not established until the 1920s, following the development of vacuum tube receivers and transmitters. AM radio remained the dominant method of broadcasting for the next 30 years, a period called the "Golden Age of Radio", until television broadcasting became widespread in the 1950s and received most of the programming previously carried by radio. Subsequently, AM radio's audiences have a...
