Bad Business with Beraq & Daniel

Bad Business

Bad Business with Beraq and Daniel is a kicked back weekly comedy show where every topic is on the table. Hosted by Beraq an Iraqi American producer, DJ at HOT 97; and a musician born and raised in the Bronx. By Beraq’s side is Daniel, the type of guy at the bar going off on rants not rooted in any factual information. Now that these childhood friends have made their way into Hot 97, they’re ready to spread his misinformation with the masses.

These two scoundrels from the Bronx are here for a good time, straight from Hot 97 in New York City with nothing but Bad Business on their minds. Beraq and Daniel are here to have some drinks, a few laughs and talk about everything from news, current events and damn near anything that crosses their minds. Sounds like Bad Business to me.
