Def Pen Radio

Def Pen Radio is an online lifestyle magazine for music, fashion, sports and technology. It is also the umbrella brand of Def Pen, and Def Pen Radio 71.8, an urban online radio show hosted by founder and CEO, Jared "Ducketz" Brown. As a former partner of VIBE Magazine, Def Pen Radio has gained an impressive resume and is still evolving its brand into more avenues and partnerships, including Vevo.

History

Mixtape Radio

Ducktez' original idea behind the development of Def Pen Radio sprang from the concept of creating mixtapes and creating an avenue for these underground/indie artists to be discovered in a more viral, word-of-mouth setting. The concept quickly gained popularity throughout the internet, cultivating a momentous demand from listeners, existing and prospecting, to want to see and hear more. It was then decided that it was time to move the brand to a broader audience, allowing the initial developments of today's Def Pen Radio to be born.

Meaning Of 71.8

71.8 represents where Ducketz is from: born and raised in Brooklyn Bedford-Stuyvesant.
