I would say my most
memorable success was DJing sets for Meek Mill, Gucci Mane & DJ Drama in
South Beach, and Miami at the "Sex on the Beach" convention. After
that show was when I got my verified check on twitter! BIG moves.
Your
company has received great feedback on the services you provide. What would you
say is one of the key components to your success?
I genuinely care
about independent artists. I want them to succeed and thrive in the music
industry just as I am. Since I don't do what I do for the money, I believe that
is what has lead to my continuing success and longevity. My clients are treated
like family. I have never had an unsatisfied client, EVER.
You've
worked with many prolific names in the industry, how does it feel to be doing
your job now, years later?
It feels surreal.
Like I was chosen to live the life I am living. I look back on collaborations I
have done with major artists and sometimes it gets to me emotionally. I am so
blessed, there is not a day I wake up and take for granted the opportunities
presented to me or the moves I made to get where I am.

Between
being a businessman and a Deejay, would you say it's tough to balance
both?
Not at all, they fit
together perfectly since all of my business has to do with the music industry
in general. It actually is more of a positive thing, being able to give the
clients I do DJ Business for extra opportunities to further there careers.
You're known
as an award winning Deejay in the Mixtape realm, how does that feel to hold
such an accreditation?
The feeling is
priceless. Nothing could top the feeling of waking up, KNOWING there are others
waking up just waiting to work with me, and learn from the daily moves I
make. Definitely priceless.
What
are the most important things you can't live without before traveling out for
work?
Well, I
literally can't live without my diabetic supplies! I gotta make sure to keep my
diabetes in check when I am doing a show or in the studio. Also gotta have my
lemon-lime Gatorade in case Mary Jane decides to give me bad cottonmouth! ha-ha!
What
is your best work to date?
My best work would
have to be my "Trippy Tape" released last 4/20. I had loads of
exclusive MAJOR singles on that tape, and it still stands as my most
Viewed/Played/Downloaded mixtape to date. It has over 1 million views, half a
million plays and almost 300,000 downloads worldwide!
You
have a loyal fan-base. What do you feel is their favorite project, from you to
date?
Everyone loved my
"Stimulants Illustrated" drop. I also am a recording artist, and that
was my second release as far as my own vocals being on a tape. It is on
Livemixtapes, and has had nothing but positive reviews. My fans loved the big
name collabs I had as well. Some of them being from artists like RiFF RAFF
& Lil B.
What
can fans expect for upcoming projects in 2014?
The fans already
know what to expect. Tons of new compilation tapes with my own twist
on them. Some new releases with some of the hottest independent artists out
right now. I am also in the works of recording & releasing my THIRD mixtape
installment as a recording artist, which should be out Fall 2014.
Any
city tours this coming year that fans should be expecting?
Me and my management
have a lot of things lined up as far as shows & party hosting go across the
nation. Nothing set in stone right now; however keep up to date with me, I WILL
BE COMING TO YOUR HOOD SOONER THAN LATER.
The
strip club or a day at the gym?
A day with my son?
Ha-ha, this is a tough one. Only reason I would go to the gym is to look at
all the bubble butts, and that's the only reason I would go to a strip club as
well....hmmm, at least the gym is free!
What
is your favorite traveling city when you're grinding?
My own city. My own
hometown. The 7 cities, Virginia. There is no better
work environment for me than being in the studio with people that
grew up around me and have supported my movement for the longest. They motivate
me and keep me focused, something I have a hard time doing myself. Call me a
"Local Grinder" ha-ha.
