There has been both empirical and anecdotal evidence that Street Soldiers has been instrumental in stopping violence. Many listeners have indicated that they have changed their way of thinking or acting as a result of listening to the show.
The program began when rap performer Hammer approached KMEL with the concept for a show focusing on community concerns. The show was dubbed “Street Soldiers” after a song on one of Hammer’s albums. The show aired in November and was an instant success. After the first show, Dr. Marshall was selected by station management to be the permanent host of the program.
