Songs that have defined modern hip-hop station Go 95.3, and Peter Parker's own favorites.

Key tracks Go 95.3 took a chance on: Lizzo, "Good as Hell"; Joey Bada$$, "Ready"; PartyNextDoor with Drake, "Come and See Me"; Atmosphere with Prof, "Windows"; Fat Joe with French Montana, Remy Ma and Jay Z, "All the Way Up" (remix).

Chose not to play: Young Gotti's "Down in the DM" and T.I. with Young Thug, "About the Money" (too negative and explicit); any rap-infused tracks by Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez (too poppy).

Peter Parker's all-time favorite albums: Jay Z, 1996's "Reasonable Doubt"; Dave East, 2015's "Hate Me Now"; Raekwon, 1995's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx"; Joey Bada$$, 2015's "B4.Da.$$"; Action Bronson, 2015's "Mr. Wonderful"; A Tribe Called Quest, 1996's "Beats, Rhymes and Life."
