Always On Time

Soft Hip Hop

Always On Time is Sound of Sliver #77, the theme for October 4, 2026: Soft Hip Hop. Ten tunes, mostly from the 2000s, easy to hard. How fast can you name that tune? You hear a 300ms sliver and spin a classic click wheel through the titles, and the longer you take, the fewer points you keep. A new theme every day.
