NEW YORK, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Paltalk, the leading real-time, video- based community with over four million active members, today announced that hip hop trio One Block Radius will be the featured guest on the upcoming episode of MusicScene, at 6:15 PM ET on Wednesday, August 20th.

This announcement will be the first in what expects to be a string of future appearances by artists from Island Def Jam and Mercury Records. Since its launch last year, MusicScene has featured popular music icons such as Slash and JoJo, as well as rising artists such as Missy Higgins.
