Cipha Sounds Leaves Hot 97

In what seems like a trend with DJ’s over the past year, the latest member to leave the Hot 97 family is DJ Cipha Sounds. He got his start at the legendary station 17 years ago and was part of the morning show for years, took over Angie Martinez slot when she left for Power 105, but now he too is moving on from the station. This comes only a day after the new host Nessa took over weekdays (3pm-7pm) yesterday after Cipha had the interim spot since Angie’s departure.

There is no word on where he will go next, but according to his statement, he has a power play already in order:

“After 17 years, I’m leaving Hot 97. I¹m changing my relationship status from ‘it¹s complicated’ to ‘single’. It¹s been an amazing ride – from intern to weekends to morning show host to fill Angie¹s seat in afternoons. Many years of incredible, life-changing experiences and enough amazing memories to last five lifetimes. The next move is already underway and I promise it’s going to be huge.”

Could he be going to rival station Power 105? He would be joining former co-workers Angie Martinez and Angela Yee, who he worked with at Shade 45 over 10 years ago.
