Angela Yee was born and raised in Brooklyn, where she spent the majority of her free time writing short, fictional stories and reading every novel she could get her hands on. When Angela graduated from Poly Prep in Brooklyn, she headed to Wesleyan University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English.
After college, she secured various internships at MTV, TVT Records and Wu-Tang Management to obtain employment as the assistant to the CEO of Wu- Tang Corporation. Angela realized she had a knack for marketing, and spent the next five years working with internet startups, Nile Rodgers’ record distribution label, clothing brands, and launching Eminem’s clothing line Shady Limited but later decided her ideal position would be merging her love of marketing with her love of music.
She Sirius Satellite Radio was hiring in their marketing department and immediately called Paul Rosenberg, the head of Shady Records. She knew they were launching Shade 45 at Sirius and he would be able to at least get her an interview. She gained a permanent position on the morning show after establishing her niche in a memorable interview with Jay-Z.
Angela continued to grind tirelessly at Shade 45, providing a platform for unsigned artists with her segment “Don’t Quit Your Day Job,” where artists like Drake, Machine Gun Kelly, and Big Krit were showcased before signing to major labels. She conducted standout interviews with Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Chris Rock, Birdman, 50 Cent, TI, and Wiz Khalifa, among many other.
The Breakfast Club was formed in December 2010 with DJ Envy, Angela, and Charlemagne Tha God. The three personalities each brought something different to the table: DJ Envy was well-known for his music knowledge and club popularity, Angela was known for her inquisitive interviews that probed deeper than the public’s knowledge and her quick wit, and Charlemagne was known for his harsh, yet honest critique of the culture.
After only two years, The Breakfast Club was launched into national syndication with Premiere Networks. For the past three years, the show has been the number one radio program in “The Source” Power 30 issue, and in 2014 the New York State Broadcasters Association honored the show with the “Outstanding On-Air Broadcast Personality or Team” award. Currently, the show is syndicated in nearly 60 markets weekday mornings and nearly 90 markets on the weekend, where listeners can hear Angela Yee’s “Rumor Report,” her advice segment “Ask Yee,” and current events with “Front Page News.”
Angela has also continued to expand her brand with her popular podcast “Angela Yee’s Lip Service” and freelance writing with Vibe Magazine, YRB Magazine, and her own website www.teamyee.tv. She has received a WEEN Mission Award, the “Shirley Chisholm Woman of Distinction” Award, and donates her time and efforts to speaking at schools and on educational panels, working with Coats for Kids, Dress for Success, Makeover Your MS, Children Making Strides Against Pediatric Cancer, The Bowery Mission, and various other charitable organizations.
DJ Envy
A native of Queens, New York, Raashaun Casey, “DJ Envy,” prides himself on bringing style, innovation and luxury to his beats. At the age of 17, he took his passion for music and started out on the road to becoming Mixtape Legend and President/CEO of Blok Entertainment. Since then, he has made tracks in every part of the industry, appearing as a DJ, producer, TV/Radio personality, actor and model.
In the early 2000’s, DJ Envy started premiering exclusive freestyles by Hip Hop names such as Jay-Z, 50 Cent and the L.O.X. He hosted several shows on Hot 97.1 including Takin’ it to the Streets and The People’s Choice Hit List. Sony quickly signed him and his affiliate label, Desert Storm Records. In early 2003, DJ Envy released his commercial debut, The Desert Storm Mixtape: - Blok Party, Vol. 1. Since then, he has worked with Hip-Hop/R&B legends like Jay-Z, Fabolous, Janet Jackson, Nelly, Cam'ron and DMX.
DJ Envy hosted his own midday show on Power 105.1 in New York before joining Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee as co-hosts of The Breakfast Club. After only two years on Power 105, the show was dubbed the number one radio program in the nation by “The Source” Magazine and is widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining urban morning show today.
Each morning, fans of The Breakfast Club tune in to hear their unrivaled interviews and conversations with celebrities and hip-hop artists, entertainment news, fresh music mixes, along with their signature blend of honesty and humor. One of the top-rated Urban morning radio programs in New York, The Breakfast Club was launched into national syndication by Premiere Networks in August of 2013 and currently airs on nearly 60 stations nationwide, in addition to broadcasting on iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio mobile app, iHeartMedia's free all-in-one streaming music and live radio service, and Revolt TV.

The busy DJ formerly hosted MTV2’s Sucker Free and Week in Jams, and co-produced The Heart of the City showcase to discover hot new talent.
If he’s not on your radio, coming through your satellite station, or on your television, multi-talented DJ Envy is behind the turn tables in premiere night clubs throughout NYC, the nation and even the world. His aspirations are unending. His drive is unshakable. He is anything but your average DJ; he is the producer, the mix tape legend, the trendsetter and more.
Growing up “Lenard McKelvey” in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina,“Charlamagne Tha God” was once just another kid dreaming of a better life, yet inevitably falling prey to the dangerously glamorized street life. By the time he was 18, the precocious teen, slowed down his rebellious ways and stumbled upon his love for radio during an internship in his town. In just a few years, Charlamagne would be recognized as one of the best voices in South Carolina.
While on the air in Columbia, S.C., Charlamagne drew attention to the local show he hosted on Hot103.9 (WHXT-FM) by distributing his controversial interviews and skits online. His irreverent, “shock jock” interview style, inspired by the likes of everyone from Larry King to Bill O’Reilly to Arsenio Hall, got the attention of then radio personality Wendy Williams, who would quickly take Charlamagne under her wing as an apprentice.
Williams rebroadcasted Charlamagne’s interviews on her popular, syndicated radio show, The Wendy Williams Experience. He later joined the program as co-host. Working alongside Williams not only introduced Charlamagne to a new audience, but it also helped strengthen the voice that has defined his career – a voice he now uses to reach audiences in all mediums – from syndicated radio, to television, to print, to digital and new-media.
Presently, Charlamagne is the host and star of MTV2’s popular late-night talk show Uncommon Sense with Charlamagne, as well as 2014’s Charlamagne and Friends. He is also a part of the lead cast in MTV2’s Guy Code and Guy Court, a spin-off of the former.
Charlamagne stars in the hugely popular morning radio show, The Breakfast Club, which is syndicated by Premiere Networks in nearly 60 cities across the nation. Charlamagne hosts The Breakfast Club, a.k.a. “The World's Most Dangerous Morning Show,” out of Power 105 in New York City alongside DJ Envy and Angela Yee, and it is widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining top-rated urban morning show today, dominating both the airwaves and Revolt TV, a music cable network from Sean Combs which simulcasts the program.
When he’s not in the radio or television studio, Charlamagne - the “Prince of Pissing People Off,” the “Ruler of Rubbing You the Wrong Way,” and the “Architect of Aggravation,” - is still himself, minus the mic. However, this is not to be confused with an inability to remain a humble and hardworking man both in and out of the industry.
