The Rush Hour Show

Presenter

Ikom-Obasi Julius Erim, professionally known as IK Erim, and popularly called IK with the Tea , is a broadcaster, event host, and podcaster with a gift for high-energy storytelling and the kind of personality that makes people turn the radio up. That same energy comes alive on air, where he hosts Rush Hour, UNICAL Radio’s weekday drivetime show airing Monday to Thursday from 4 to 5 pm. The show delivers an hour of wild stories, real gist, and great music, designed to carry listeners smoothly through the tail end of their day. With this distinctive style and growing connection with his audience, IK Erim has continued to build a reputation as a compelling media voice, keeping listeners engaged and coming back for more. This impact has not gone unnoticed, as the show earned a nomination and went on to win Best Drivetime Show of the Year at the 2026 Cross River State Radio Awards.
