Throwbacks from the Capital family

Capital XTRA Reloaded is run by Global, the group behind Capital, Heart, Smooth, Classic FM and LBC. It was created for listeners who love the hip hop and R&B of the past as much as the hits of today, complementing Capital XTRA's focus on the newest music. As a digital station, it is available on DAB in parts of the UK and online, and it has become a favourite for anyone who enjoys a throwback.

The playlist is packed with hip hop and R&B classics from artists such as Destiny's Child, Usher, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Missy Elliott, Nelly, Ashanti, Ja Rule, TLC, Craig David, Ms. Dynamite and So Solid Crew, alongside other anthems from the 1990s and 2000s. You will hear the songs that dominated MTV Base, filled the dancefloors at house parties and topped the charts, as well as some UK garage and grime favourites. It is perfect for a pre-party playlist, a workout or simply reliving the golden years of hip hop and R&B.
