...another in three-minute matchups during which the competitors rapped over a beat played by Darius P. Felton ’08, a.k.a. DJ Radius. The competition was sponsored by Tuesday Magazine and The Darker Side, a weekend music program on WHRB, Harvard’s student-run radio station.

As the prevalence of the iPod has increased, people have become ever-so dependent on their personal music-playing devices. The ability to carry one’s personal collection around, accessing old favorites and recently downloaded hits at the slight shift of a thumb, has replaced the frustration of waiting for your favorite radio station to play your song of choice...
