KISS XTRA: Black Music & Culture

KISS XTRA is a KISS network station dedicated to Black music and culture. Its sound brings together contemporary hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, dancehall, rap and related styles, connecting major releases with specialist selections and music from across the UK and international scenes. The station combines a current playlist with presenter-led entertainment, interviews, genre-focused shows and DJ mixes. The weekday schedule is built around a sequence of recognisable presenter shows. KISS XTRA Breakfast with Esi provides the morning soundtrack, followed by Ace, Craig Mitch and Henrie across the daytime schedule. Later programming gives space to specialist sounds, including Sir DJ Corey and Afrobeats with Juls. The wider show catalogue includes strands such as The Dancehall Show with Davda, The Afro Electronic Show with Larizzle, The R&B Show and The Rap Show. Programme slots can change, so use the official schedule for the latest timings. The station's presenter roster includes Esi, Ace, Craig Mitch, Henrie Kwushue, Sir DJ Corey, Juls, Larizzle, Davda and Pretty Hood. These hosts bring different perspectives and musical interests to the station, from daytime music and entertainment to specialist mixes and weekend shows. KISS XTRA also features guest appearances, artist conversations and content connected to the wider KISS events and music community. KISS XTRA's identity is about more than a broad playlist. Its Black Music & Culture positioning gives room to new releases, established artists, emerging talent and the scenes influencing contemporary music. Listeners can move from mainstream R&B and hip-hop into Afrobeats, dancehall and electronic sounds without leaving the station, while specialist shows offer a deeper focus on particular genres. You can listen live through the official KISS XTRA website and the Rayo app. The station's online pages provide a current schedule, presenter biographies, show pages and selected programme content. These pages are useful for checking who is on air, exploring a particular show or finding recent episodes and features. For listeners looking for a station that brings Black music genres together with presenters who know the culture, KISS XTRA offers a focused alternative within the KISS family. Check the official schedule before tuning in for a specific presenter or show, as weekday and weekend programming may differ.
