\n\tFans of the station were stunned about Funk Flex\u2019s departure announcement, wondering what his next move would be. \u201cEND OF AN ERA INDEED! We gonna need another classic moment before you go out with a BANG, Flex,\u201d one person <\/a>wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother added:<\/a> \u201cWe living in the end of times the mayans were talking about wtf!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter starting at Hot 97 over three decades ago, the Bronx native is responsible for plenty of classic NYC radio moments, including his premiere of Jay-Z<\/a> and Ye\u2019s<\/a> \u201cOtis\u201d in 2011, which he restarted roughly 25 times and dropped 63 bombs on over the course of 22 minutes. <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in August, Flex was presented with a Key to the City<\/a> by New York City Mayor Eric Adams for \u201chis role in shaping the global reach of NYC\u2019s hip hop scene through his iconic platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m humbled and honored to receive the Key to the City I\u2019ve always called home,\u201d Flex said. \u201cNew York made me. Hot 97 gave me the mic and hip-hop gave me a voice. This moment means everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
