DJ Bill Black, assistant program director and music director
History: Hot 107.9 since 2006 and longtime attendee of Birthday Bash
Primary role during Birthday Bash: Visual and audio promotion
Birthday Bash highlights:
The big hype about Birthday Bash is it surprise guests. You never know who may come out. I’ve seen Jay-Z, Kanye, Usher and these are people who just want to be a part of it.
Most memorable moment(s):
David Banner opened up the show in 2010. The way he worked the crowd was great; they loved him.
Birthday Bash MVP pf 2013: 2 Chainz. Hands down. I’ve seen him from the beginning to now and he’s never changed. He hasn’t changed his phone number and I can still pick up the phone and call him – same person.
Excited to see: Rich Homie Quan. Super buzz in the streets and he has a great team. He has the same management as Trinidad James, who I’m also interested to see because his story is so interesting.
On Young Dro: Young Dro has great stage show and he’s very in tuned with the crowd. It would only be right. He’s a friend of the show and every time he comes out he kills it – even if he doesn’t have a new song out. The people love him do we gotta put him on.
