"Inside the Prince Radio Show That Never Was" via VANITY FAIR
In 2005, the artist made a demo with DJ Rashida for a channel called 3121 Radio. The station didn’t materialize, but one early run at it will now be released.

In the mid-2000s, Prince rented a house in Los Angeles from the NBA player Carlos Boozer. By this point he had achieved his suffusion of pop music and culture and emerged with a possibly even rarer status: a living folk hero. He was busy throwing parties too, and at the house he called 3121—also the title of the album he released in 2006—a DJ he’d heard in town handled the music.

Eventually DJ Rashida became Prince’s touring DJ for a decade, and before that they developed a concept for a radio station, 3121 Radio. They recorded a two-and-a-half hour demo episode, but hardly anyone has heard it: “Nobody,” Rashida said, laughing, in a phone interview on Tuesday. She’d just been on the phone with other Prince collaborators. “I don’t think anybody knows that it exists other than the people who directly worked on it or were there while we were working on it,” Rashida said.

In 2005 Prince and SiriusXM (Sirius Satellite Radio at the time) had talked about starting an artist-designed show that could play unreleased and live recordings, interviews, and music he’d been listening to. “I really wanted Prince to turn his full creative genius into a curated radio experience,” SiriusXM president and chief content officer Scott Greenstein wrote in an email.
