Spex continued to own the city’s radio signals every Sunday, until early 2011, with the acclaimed Riddim Track World® show on Flow 93.5, coining the term HALLAMANASHUNDAE!  It is without a doubt that Sunday’s airwaves has lost momentum since the show’s culmination, however Spex continues to share his mastery of track selection through www.riddimtrackworld.com .
