It was actually for a church event that was open to the public. I think it was like 300 people there, and I was so nervous. The first time you actually spin, as opposed to just spinning around the way in the hood, you got people watching you and it’s dif- ferent. Did you continue DJing throughout school? Yeah, I learned early on. I did a lot of wed- ding receptions and corporate events at a young age. It taught me how to actually program music and do all that kinds of stuff. Once I got out of high school, it was easy. I got spots other guys weren’t get- ting, because you have to be well-rounded to get that money. There wasn’t a lot of hip- hop spots throwing parties, and there was a couple DJs that had it on lock. I was in a group called The Convicts that was on Rap- A-Lot Records during the time of the Geto DJ AGGRAVATED Boys’ “Mind Playin’ Tricks On Me.” One of the guys, Big Mike, asked me to be their Where are you from?

Madd Hatta – on a playful level – always Some of the guys in my neighborhood called us Hollywood. He was tryin’ to say were doing stuff with him. As far as the mix- that we were extra fly. We took that and tape game goes, back then the guy who turned a negative into a positive and just was killin’ mixtapes was Darryl Scott. He ran with it. We’re two cats that love hip-hop was the mixtape king. If you didn’t have his and understand it and have watched it grow tape bumpin’ in your ride, you were whack. in Houston, and we’re just tryin’ to preserve Most DJs in our neighborhoods tried to the realness of it. A lot of whack DJs come be like him. If there was a gold standard up on it for money, and that’s just wrong. as far as mixtapes back then, he woulda killed everybody. He helped a lot of hip-hop What other DJ crews do you belong to? come to Houston. He didn’t play just one I’m a part of the Heavy Hitters. Becoming a type of music, he played whatever was hot, part of the Heavy Hitters was about a year- period. long process. That’s deep, because they don’t accept just anybody. They really ask Did he inspire you to start DJing? Or how a lot of people about you. You’ve gotta be did you originally become interested in credible and hot. They really watch you. DJing? The credit goes to DJ Enuff. People aren’t I just started because I loved the art form. just brought in because they’re your home- I just wanted to rock a crowd. I saw other boy.
