Sounds a lot like The Block. Wonder if they'll share talent:

An Audacy Rebrand In San Francisco - Radio Ink
Audacy has launched 102.1 JAMS (KRBQ-FM) in San Francisco. The station, previously known as The New Q102.1, will continue to feature a wide collection of classic hip-hop hits and throwbacks.

Originally yes. In recent years it had shifted more towards a modernized Jammin Oldies. More Chaka Khan and Earth Wind & Fire than Busta Rhymes and Dr. Dre.
I've viewed music logs within the past 90 days.
About 70 percent of the playlist was stuff I'd consider compatible with a hip-hop "throwbacks" station. The remainder consisted of older Rhythm AC / Urban AC artists or some odd balls that defy genre labels.
I thought the station sounded good the way it was, personally.

The 2019-21 "Q102" format emphasized R&B more than rap. The "new" Q102 playlist stretched as far back as 1971, with "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" by the Spinners. It's hard to find pre-1975 music on commercial radio nowadays.
Lately in the ratings, KBLX had been beating out (slightly) KRBQ in the ratings with similar music. Audacy must have seen that the market was lacking for the 1970s/80s R&B vs. 1990s/00s rap.

"102.1 Jams" is a homage to KMEL's old "KMEL Jams" brand from the 90s. (Similar to how the 2019-21 "Q102.1" had a similar logo and format as the old 98.1 Kiss.)
It was time for a change, Q102 was sort of a weird name anyways. It does not help that there are 2 other q102's across the country, especcialy in these times when there are Alexa's and google devices.
