THE KULDESAC KREW, KLIQ RADIO
Elena Charis has created, produced, DJ'd, and hosted her own radio show titled "NTW" (Now That's Wassup) which would later change to what we know now as "The Kuldesac Krew" brand today. In May of 2017, Elena began her 4th and final season of radio production on KLIQ 1670 Radio before it went on hiatus from 2017-2019.

N.T.W. RADIO SHOW, RAPPING LOUNGE RADIO
From 2014-2015 Elena Charis became the producer of her first original radio show called "Now That's Wassup!" which later turned into "The Kuldesac Krew". The themed lyrics of "That's Wassup on the Cul-de-sac" is what manifested The Kuldesac Krew. "We come from all different sides of the culdesac" is the concept behind NTW and the Kuldesac Krew. The original concept came from the concept of Elena Charis, Jess2Eazy, & Lady Antonionette, all long-time friends who grew up on a cul-de-sac. Hosts included Elena Charis (producer/host), Lady Antonionette (photographer/gamer) and Jess2Eazy (hip-hop recording artist).
The show was presented through internet radio station Rappin Lounge and lasted 2 seasons. The first season was with co-hosts and the 2nd season included one-on-one interviews with artists from across the nation. Interviews included Raspy Rapz, Eyeinsee, Humble B Vicious, and more.
