When I heard Nelly would be coming to Montreal I was pretty excited. In 2000 Country Grammar was released as Nelly's first solo project and the single of the same name became a number one hit. I loved the song; I knew it by heart, but, to be honest, I had no real clue what it was about. With references to a “street sweeper” and something about puff and pass, I was somewhat lost.

When Brennan Richer came to CJLO, the station was a very different place. Some DJs hosted for themselves, using the air time as an outlet to express themselves. Others hosted for their community, as a means to promote the culture of their musical taste. Lastly some hosted with all that and more in mind. Not only to promote their show, their genre but for everyone. Brennan Richer has always been one of those DJs and has paved the way for a generation of DJs who approach their shows in that manner. As the host of The Almighty Riff, he has been a staple of the Sunday line and has been a key to building its popularity.
