Introduction (music)

In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music this is often abbreviated as intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata, Play  an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song, Play  while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus. Play 

24K

24K can refer to:

24K (radio show)

24K Weekend (formerly 24K Saturday, 24K Friday & 24K Experience) was a weekly radio show of 99.5 RT featuring 1970s, '80s and '90s music.

Background

In 1989, 99.5 RT's 24K began as 24K Saturday, as an answer to Magic 89.9's Friday Magic Madness, to avoid competition with the latter. Unlike Madness, 24K also plays hits they played first since RT's inception. Sooner, around 1995, 24K gained popularity, it moved to Friday as 24K Friday, in order to compete with Madness. In 2004, 24K was put off the air for some reasons. However, due to popular demand, less than a year, it was back on the air. 24K was last heard on December 15, 2006, following RT's last broadcast two days latter. However, it continued until December 29, without stingers.

In September 2007, 99.5 Hit FM revived 24K Friday, but this time playing only late 70s & 80s every Fridays. However, it only lasted until November 7, 2007, when 24K was replaced with No. 1 Hit Weekend (which began airing a week after 24K's revival & played only 90s). In January 2008, Hit revived once again the 24K brand as 24K Experience, but this time playing 70s & 80s every Sunday afternoons. It lasted until March 16, 2008, before Hit FM rebranded to Campus FM.

Cuban Link

Felix Delgado (born December 18, 1974), better known by his stage name Cuban Link, is a Cuban American rapper and original member of Terror Squad.

Biography

Delgado was born in Havana, Cuba in 1974. He and his family emigrated to the United States in 1980 during the Mariel boatlift. They settled in the Morrisania section of the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City. When Delgado was growing up, hip hop music was rising in popularity in his neighborhood. Delgado took on stage name Cuban Link and associated with fellow rappers Big Pun, Triple Seis and Da Sick One in a group under the name Full-A-Clips.

Cuban Link and Big Pun both made guest performances on The Beatnuts' single "Off the Books" in 1997. They joined the local rap group Terror Squad, and Link performed on the track "Tell Me What You Want" from the group's self-titled debut album. Link previously did guest appearances on Squad members' solo albums: Big Pun's Capital Punishment and Fat Joe's Don Cartagena. Cuban Link was signed to Atlantic Records and began recording his debut album 24K. Big Pun died on February 7, 2000, so Link wrote single "Flowers for the Dead" in Pun's honor. However, without Pun's mediation, contract disputes between Fat Joe and Cuban Link and leaks prevented the release of 24K.
