Charlamagne starts May 1 as morning host on The Beat (100.3). The station has been doing a music-intensive show called The Morning Beat since it dropped Miss Jones in the Morning in January.
Charlamagne was billed as "Charlamagne Tha God" when heard as Wendy Williams' radio sidekick in New York. He was let go amid budget cuts last November.
At his previous stop in his native South Carolina, Tha God -- sorry, "God" just sounds too reverent in second reverence, er... reference -- issued a set of "Hip Hop Commandments." Interesting reading.
Last year, he was named to Edison Media Research's "30 Under 30," a list of top radio talent in the country.
The current cast members, DJ Bent Roc, Sheik and Izzo, will remain with the show, 6-10 a.m.
