Peter Elliot Rosenberg (born July 23, 1979) is an American radio disc jockey and television show host. He is a co-host of two New York City radio programs: Ebro in the Morning, the weekday morning show at hip hop radio station WQHT ("Hot 97"); and The Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio affiliate WEPN-FM, which is also simulcast on the YES Network.
Rosenberg hosts Real Late with Rosenberg on Hot 97, co-hosts a hip hop podcast called Juan Epstein, and a professional wrestling podcast through ESPN affiliate Grantland called Cheap Heat. He appeared on MTV2 as the host of the game show Hip Hop Squares.
Rosenberg was born and raised in Chevy Chase, Maryland, to a Capitol Hill staffer father and public school teacher mother, and he attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. He describes his upbringing as "a very Jewish, upper middle class, regular suburban life." He was introduced to hip hop by his older brother, and has also cited popular songs such as "Parents Just Don't Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince as early influences. Visiting his grandparents in Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York, US, he was influenced by radio shows hosted by DJ Red Alert and Marley Marl. He obtained his first set of turntables at the age of 14 years.
