Co-founded by the MC Sniper and DJ Beats in 2002, the station has now built up a following of over a hundred people and has attracted the attention of the BBC who are making a documentary about the lives of those behind Kurupt FM Allan Mustafa and Hugo Chegwin lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It ran for 5 seasons (2014–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them.
