INTERVIEW WITH VINYL ESQUIRE

Over the years I have done my fair share of interviews but this is probably the most in depth one I have ever done. How did I get started as a dj and when? How did I meet Das Efx and become their dj? When did you start producing and making movies? What is it like touring the world many times over? How many celebrities have you smashed? 😆lol Check out this insightful interview with Vinyl Esquire and find out a lot about me that you probably never knew. Big up to DJ Rip. 💪🏾

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUNDTABLE

Knights of the Roundtable is another one of the foundational projects in my classics catalog. I made this title while in the middle of the rollout for Das Efx’s 5th and final studio album “How We Do” We were doing a lot of traveling. We were in Germany every few weeks and doing a promo run in the states as well. We even teamed up with the Rza as he was putting out a Bobby Digital album and we hit many states together. I would do a few mixes when I got the chance before heading back out on the road and when we had a few weeks break I finally locked in and completed it. This and the 4 Horsemen 1 were when the world really started to take notice of what I was doing and I truly began to solidify my spot in the mixtape game. Below is the entire mixtape and once again please subscribe to my YouTube channel so I can keep these uploads coming. ✌🏾

90’s Hip Hop Mix

Man, YouTube has been giving me a rough time lately. In the past few weeks at least 5 mixtapes I tried to put on YouTube have been blocked after I took the time to edit, render and upload them. 😡 This is one of them. I was able to upload it to soundcloud though without any hassles. Another timeless mix, this time of some of our favorite 90s hip hop classics. Spark a Phillie blunt for old times sake and enjoy.

DJ RONDEVU ON THE TRACK – CAN YOU FEEL IT

When I was younger The Fat Boys were one of my favorite groups. They were actually the Disco 3 when I bought their first 12” single. I spent hours trying to emulate the beat box sounds of Buffy and replaying their amazing songs. Years later I produced a track for Das Efx sampling one of their songs to pay homage to them as well as Larry Smith, the criminally slept on producer of the original Can You Feel It. You don’t want to do too much to a classic but I put a few touched to the timeless original beat to create the Das Efx version which was made to be a feel good, throwback type of song. Check it out below and don’t be afraid to do a break dance move or pop lock while listening. 😃#RealHipHop

THE REALNESS

There have been many influences on my career. Jam Master Jay, Grand Master Flash and Mixmaster Ice are some but one of the biggest has to be DJ Premier. I was a fan of Gangstarr when they first dropped but the production styles of Preemo is what really drew me in. Over the years I would study their music and try to reverse engineer their tracks to better understand the art of production. I learned many subtle nuances of beat making from analyzing DJ Premier’s tracks.

Years later after making my own lane as a Dj/Producer I made a mixtape featuring the production of Premier flipped in my own way. I even had the honor of having him host it himself. Shoutout to Phat Phillie. Below is most of that project. Enjoy and feel free to share. Do remember to subscribe to the YouTube channel.
