The show was on Tuesday nights from 1am-5am on 89.9 WKCR. The show ran for about a year and a half. Guests on this show were Apani B Fly MC and L.I.F.E. Long (42:00) as well as Mr. Lif (99:44) who rhymed alongside Kinetic. Loosely based around the principles of Stretch and Bobbito&#8217;s show, these guys cracked jokes, played dope music, had guests freestyle, but also incorporated sets dedicated to classics\/originals. Mic breaks at 37:22, 97:28 and 157:53. Side note, when I started The Halftime Show with Riz\/Lynn, part of the reason I came up with the name was because this show was on Tuesdays and SNB were on Thursdays. We came on Wednesday&#8217;s right in the middle.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/widget\/iframe\/?embed_type=widget_standard&amp;embed_uuid=421b9267-dddd-4676-b32a-2a9976d4e04d&amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2Fitsdjeclipse%2Fnight-train-wdj-eli-escobar-apex-dujeous-kinetic-arsonists-vaz-899-wkcr-december-9-1997%2F&amp;hide_cover=1&amp;hide_tracklist=1&amp;replace=0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; height: 3px; width: 652px;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 4px; color: rgb(153, 153, 153); width: 652px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/itsdjeclipse\/night-train-wdj-eli-escobar-apex-dujeous-kinetic-arsonists-vaz-899-wkcr-december-9-1997\/?utm_source=widget&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=base_links&amp;utm_term=resource_link\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#808080; font-weight:bold;\"><\/a><span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/itsdjeclipse\/?utm_source=widget&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=base_links&amp;utm_term=profile_link\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#808080; font-weight:bold;\"><\/a><span> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/?utm_source=widget&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=base_links&amp;utm_term=homepage_link\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#808080; font-weight:bold;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; height: 3px; width: 652px;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DJ Eclipse: Here&#8217;s the first episode of Night Train which was a show started by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-pwO","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
