Describe your deejaying style?
I’m the popping bottles in the club, standing on the couch, middle fingers in the air, how does he do that? Make you feel like you’re on top of the world type of DJ!
How is deejaying profitable from a business standpoint?
It’s profitable for me by keeping a steady schedule of clubs calling to book, relationships with artists, pushing out mixtapes, and doing different appearances.
How did mixtapes change hip-hop?
Mixtapes changed hip-hop by giving the deejay power to put out the hottest new hits way before you hear them on the radio. It also gave artists a way to test the market by releasing mixtapes before putting out an album.
