WHFS may refer to:
WHFS, 1010 AM, is a radio station in the Tampa, Florida, area, owned by Beasley Broadcast Group. The station broadcasts at 50,000 watts during the day and 5,000 watts at night, directional towards the east and west to protect Jacksonville's WJXL by day, and New York City's WINS, Toronto's CFRB, and Calgary, Alberta's CBR at night. The station was assigned the WHFS call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on August 9, 2012. Its studios are in St. Petersburg while its transmitter is located east of Mango. WHFS broadcasts a business-oriented talk radio format simulcast from sister station WSBR in Boca Raton.
The station signed on in Autumn 1960 as WINQ , founded by Rex Rand, the owner of Miami's WINZ. In its early days, WINQ was a Mutual affiliate and carried a middle-of-the-road music format. In 1967, WINQ became the first station in Tampa Bay to offer a news-talk format, with network news and other programming from CBS Radio (who would later own this station). The station switched to a country music format in 1971, after the station was losing money on the talk programming.
WHFS was the call sign for three different FM stations in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore, Maryland markets on various frequencies for nearly 50 years. The first and longest run was a progressive rock station and was usually, and affectionately, referred to as 'HFS. For many local residents, it was the first place to hear such bands as R.E.M., The Specials, Pixies, The Smiths, The Monochrome Set, The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, Stereolab, and New Order.
"HFS" returned to the airwaves on August 1, 2011 on WWMX-HD2 (106.5 FM) and is translated on 104.9 (W285EJ) as of April 1, 2014.
WHFS began broadcasting on November 11, 1961, on 102.3 FM in Bethesda, Maryland. It was the first station in the Washington, DC, area to broadcast in FM stereo, thus its call sign stood for Washington High Fidelity Stereo. It was originally located in a 20 × 20-foot space in the basement of the Bethesda Medical Building on Wisconsin Avenue with antenna on the roof. Its original format was a combination of MOR and classical, with jazz after 10 p.m. The original owners were considerably underfunded, and the station was sold in 1963. The station was initially moved to Norfolk Ave. in Bethesda and later to Woodmont Ave. All these locations are within a three-block area. When Jacob Einstein became general manager and part-owner in 1967, the station had a broadcast signal of 2,300 watts.

hood girls with piercings in navals, fly boyz i aint telling fables

i just like to lay low, chill at the local hood store
ball out with da bombs, watch they tempers just blow
as long as im around niggaz dont consider them poor

if you a foreigner this my turf so you should know
we consider you a novice but the locals a pro
i got my slushy in hand, sunflowers seed from japan
might cop some homestyle cajun boil peanuts in the can
i might grab a six pack, watch the arabs and sit back
friday nights parked in the back blasting the lac
Chorus (2x's)
im at the b.p. off memorial, the b.p. off memorial
yall want my lo-cation um chillen with a girl name gloria
i might just get some gas, might just re-up on my stash
mixtape sells, um bout my cash, la-ter tonight a club bash
verse2:
yep i just spotted a classmate i think they call her katrice

niggaz all around the dump in the back play-ing spades
cops about to bust the block with all these charades
down the street yo its feltons 3 more mins you hit gyros
when the club close down niggaz go stuff they pie holes
here come them selling fake jewelry, but i want some real gold
i like that piece with the rosary so consider it sold
you need sharp rims go to spikers, they'll put them on faster than bikers
yo i stay on my grind i consider the rest of yall slackers

everything in one location only at the B.P.
Chorus: (2x's)
im at the b.p. off memorial, the b.p. off memorial
yall want my lo-cation um chillen with a girl name gloria
i might just get some gas, might just re-up on my stash
