No, we don't we don't further ado

We got not surveying the building. We got hip-hop. We got DJ. We got Puerto Rico to the building

So ladies and gentlemen, I got DJ dad that was born our brother DJ dad. I salute salute salute my brother Cuban Mike

How's the traffic?

It wasn't bad, man. Yeah, it was it was it was you know, you catch that right in the tunnel

But other than that was it was good, man. Yeah, no doubt you know

That you know the C's are C's are in New York tonight, so yeah, you know

Yeah, man, I'm one of the things I want to talk about

Before I give an introduction one of the things one of the parts of the introduction when they give out

You know, we always focus on the MC but never on the DJ and I want to say ladies and gentlemen

There will be no MC without the DJ. That's a fact. I repeat. There will be no MC without the damn DJ

Yes, yes, one more time for the people in the back

There will be no MC without the DJ. I mean the DJ was first, you know exactly exactly

Everybody know out here and Latinos did our part in the damn game. That's one of the conversations

But we also put in game. We were also put in working the game on that. Yes indeed, man. So overall man

How you doing brother? How's life treating you?

Things good man, you know, we're staying busy. Yeah, I'm trying to finish up a bunch of these projects and a bunch of these joints and

Just get the stuff out finally to the world. You know, I've been working on this music for a while probably

Probably as long as my last album usually it takes me like

Six or seven years to drop something. Yeah, just to curate everything

But this one hasn't been that long this one I dropped in 2022 and this one will be this new one will be out probably like some of time

And this will be your third project. This will be my third album. I have four

Official projects out three albums in the EP. Okay. All right. We're gonna get we're gonna talk about the latest one

You know what's funny because I have an interesting story with you fun fact he used to work on a newberry comics

Yes, sir, and it means I need to see of that. It was always always always like two things

I got the hip-hop nod like what's going on partner and where's the rap section? Yeah always always and

Or like

Yeah, so there's a funny story you don't remember this story

But like one of the rare times I actually talked to you. There's like years ago

We're gonna go back to probably

2004 and I was looking for Alchemist first album and I went to your store and they didn't have it the warfare one

First infantry. Oh first symmetry. They had it and I went to your store

And I mean, you know, you ain't got the Alchemist album and you gave this look like don't want to talk about it

Like for whatever reason just order it

Now I think it just didn't come in on time or maybe it was an indelible thing where it was delayed something like that

Yeah, but I know because I was looking for it too. So that's why I was probably mad too

Yeah, and we had like a good five ten-minute conversation on how dope Alchemist was yeah

Yeah, it was

But it was funny because I remember this came out in 2004 and I was treating this album like it's the same

Equivalent of Kanye West first album because they both came out the first year. Yeah, and you know

Kanye with his album drop it did what it did classic album, but I was treating like it was the same thing

But I was my own hip-hop birthday. What was the joint on on Al's first album?

Hold you there. We need a guy

And then the one um hold you down was ill and then he had the one with I think Lloyd Banks. Oh

Yes, I forgot that joint. Yeah, I think it was it was the one with banks. It was one with banks

I'm speaking of it

Bigger than which yeah, but um, yeah, so that happened and they told me yeah

You're going to arm the other spark boom moves that was like you're compared to the back of the day

But yeah, yeah, I couldn't go there because I had beef with those guys back in the day

I used to work with them and let's just say it didn't end well when you were those guys. Oh, I feel you

Yeah, there's another I know another person who had the same issues. Yeah, I mean

But I know if I be made back to you, man

You know, I want to focus on the DJ element because

It doesn't get talked about as much as it should be or whatever that case me because there's so many things in the game

Don't change over the years, you know, you come from the era where you had to carry crates now. We carry a laptop for show so

The main deal with that is that um

once the

Major corporations and labels saw that they can make money off hip hop

They were like, I cool well

You know at first they started to push the DJ, but then it slowly progressed into the the the MCB in the forefront, you know, so

Um, and then the DJ to the back, you know, I mean, so

I think that was the beginning of it and then after a while, you know

Once the technology kicked in and kind of sort of like you didn't really have to like pay dues and and

And really like you know start from the bottom like how you used to have to yeah um that

People's just started not really like

I mean, I don't want to say disrespecting but it was like the respect for the DJ was not as profound as it used to be

And it was more the MC that was getting all the props, you know

So I think that's the beginning of it and then obviously the the technology

You know the ease of it or the the the mass production of it made it more

Easier for you to be able to do that, you know, I mean, so yeah, but it's one of those things

So you have to take the go with the back because it does have its perks. Oh totally. We was just talking about

Yeah, I was talking about you. I went from carry six crates back in the day

Not just all you mean like, you know, a laptop and a controller that but that's you know that comes with you know

It's a gift in a curse that comes with the good in the bag, you know, I mean, so yeah, man, so um

So that I

I got to ask you this because I heard the podcast you did with the other person we just talked about yeah

And all this time I thought you was born in Lawrence, but you were born in Puerto Rico. Yeah

Yeah, now how the hell that happened because usually it's the other way around usually Dominic is in the golden PR

my my grandparents were

Living PR, you know, I mean they lived in they lived in San Juan

and then um my dad was born there and then um, but my mom's Dominican

Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, so you're half enough. Yes. Okay. All right. I was born in PR. Okay. All right now we're getting all right

Gotcha. Yeah, so then

Pobduc moved over there in my her

Then we moved

To PR when they had me and then we moved back to DR afterwards. All right, bad gotcha in there from there

You came up to and then everybody else moved to DR for a little bit and then we moved to to the law yet got it got it got it

So

Being latino, you know, you know, we all come from latino household. Mm-hmm. We grew up

You know, listen to salsa

Yeah, what's the one um, what's the what's the one the from like the 50s? Well, let them. Yep. Yeah

We grew up with all that especially on Sunday's mom's clean. Yeah, so how the hell you got to hold a hip hop?

Um, I mean just being in America and like when I was six my dad found a a tape in a car because he was a mechanic and

um, I don't know how I got the tape here that gave it to me or I just got it awful and it had a few joints on there

Had a lotty-dotty

That was like the first song or like memorized, you know

And um, I had um

Dr. Jekyll missed a hide on there damn we were back. I had um whistle by um

Who else was on that or leader of the pack was on there um

You know, I mean joints like that, you know, those were like the first the first joints that I had and then um

After that was like TV, you know what I mean? Like you see um you on TV wraps

um

Things like that you start seeing videos, you know, I mean on MTV period, you know, you see run DMC see um

I love cool J, you know, I mean you start seeing NWA you're like, oh, this is crazy and then um

It was probably like

Even after that was like, you know, EPMD, you know all that stuff was like real

Real, real like incredible to me at the time because I was mad young

I'm saying

And then probably when I was like 12

When Wu Tang came out that's when like I was like whoa, this is like something else, you know

I mean, and then that kind of like started the trajectory of how I ended up becoming who I am in hip hop, you know, I mean and then

probably like

Seven I started DJing. Yeah, you know what I mean? So next year to be 30 years, which is crazy

I don't have a career brother. Yes, sir. I don't have a career

Um, so with that being said um, you know, we're from the hood and anybody in their moms

Want to be a rapper? Yeah, I wasn't my that wasn't my uh, yeah, so it's not always saying that people want to go to DJing

So what led you to be the DJ because you know

rapping, you know, it's so it got so full so you just you you went a little bit left with it

Yeah, another I mean I you could you have to pick a few things, you know, you can't really do everything

You could be dope at everything, but you know at some point you're gonna have a misstep, but

For me I wanted to play ball. I was mad good at ball between like 12 and like 16

I was like really really good

And then um, I didn't make a couple of the teams in high school because I never played organized ball

I was just playing street ball. Yeah, and then um

After I didn't make a couple teams, I was like, well, I'm not doing this no more

And then I was like what am I gonna do like what else what else am I good at?

You know, I mean or what else do I care to be good at, you know, and

Then I was like all right. Well the next thing I do besides

You know trying to play ball is like turn on the radio or play music

So then I just started like

You know just dive it into music more and um, I got turntables when I was like 16

And um, I got them to sample to make beats

Oh

So you got the um the the one does the three-second sample ones from back in the day? No, no

I had I had the the rail setup well with the two with the two tables in the mixer

But I bought them so I could sample records to make beats. Okay. What brand were they?

They were Gemini of course they were of course Gemini paired with they were

Belt drive there was a first belt drive so I okay

Um

Was there any particular DJ you saw on TV or in the hood? They'd be like, you know what?

I want to do this because usually rappers they see like, you know, and MC be like I want to do what he does

So was they I mean by doing a day back in a day day when I was young it was like

Grandmaster flash

Jazzy jazzy Jeff jm s to j

um

Jm s to j for real is like

Basically like the blueprint of what I'm what I'd be trying to do, you know, I mean yeah, not obviously to the same

You know level, but um, and then after that like those were kind of like the first dues that I really really like obviously kick a pre

fun flex

Those were like, you know the the pioneers of like what I was what I was getting into yeah

And then like in high school before I started DJing I started getting into mix tapes

So um

Really what it was was I think flex came out with his album

The volume one two three series on loud. Yeah, maybe maybe not now

I heard I heard some clue tapes in the hood before that and um and Tony touched tapes

And things like that and those were like the official soundtracks for like I was doing, you know pf cunt and um

um SNS Ron G

um

Juicy DJ juice, you know rest in peace. Yeah

Yeah, those guys that were putting out tapes back then they were so creative that it got me into that mode into

wanting to DJ

And really I got the turntables to make beats and then what happened was my man's in uh in school had the beat machine

But he wouldn't come over enough for us to like really build

So he had the he had the beat machine back. He had the beat machine and I wasn't with a sp or nah

I was like an elicis some elicis like some some I forget what it was exactly but

Um, yeah, so he had that and um, we were supposed to link but we only linked a few times and I ended up just getting into DJing and um

Just you know that big mix tape, uh, you know

Explosion in the 90s. Yeah, it was kind of like

My soundtrack and what I wanted to do um, but at first

What I what I ended up doing was um learning how to uh DJ parties and

Then I um and then I graduated to DJing clubs

Uh with a few of the dudes back in the day that was like the local guys doing the scene, you know, I mean

So like uh dudes like Erko, dudes like Sun, dudes like Jera

um

Even like back in the day like dudes like DJ 40 those are all dudes from Lawrence that were like doing the thing back in the day

Uh, while I was coming up, you know, I mean, and then after me and and them it was like um

less

And um a few other dudes uh around the way started really doing the thing that was that was like the generation after us

You know, we were like the late 90s like mid to late 90s early 2000s. It was like our run. Yeah, I mean that's that's when I was able to call outside

So I was able to catch that error. Yeah, that's the error that we were from. Yeah, we were doing we were doing these two room jams um

Really I was the young and so that it was headed by Erko and Sun and and Jera they were throwing these these

These two room jams in these and these function halls

And like one room would be like hip hop and R&B and then the other room would be like um

reggae and house

And um and they would let that would let me DJ you know saying because my cousin was big in the scene

He was a big graffiti writer and he was a big um dancer in the house scene in in mass and in Lawrence

Um, so they let me get on and then I would DJ maybe like half hour hour

You know, I mean like early when I was first starting and then you know

Then they let me get on a little bit more, you know

And then that's kind of like what got my skills good and then I started DJing clubs like

Like 2001 to like 2005. That was kind of like what I was doing, you know, I mean besides like

Work working with term and doing things like that

No doubt no doubt. So um

With that being said, you know, usually when people get into that scene

It's usually nickel and dime. It's just horse and around with a case may be

Yeah, or they stuck there because they don't have no other

They see the money and they're like all right. I'm good. Yeah, they don't see really like the

You got to use it as a as a as a like launch and pad for other things

You know, I mean something stuff you can monetize that you don't have to deal with the club

Whoever shows up whoever you get whatever you negotiate like none of that, you know

No doubt there's ways to monetize you as a brand

And um, you just got to use the

The social scene as like a a launching pad for that, you know, that's kind of like what I did

So this is basically networking before social media. Yeah, totally. That's what you had to do

You know, obviously you had to show improve live, but um

You know

You see what it is if you if you're doing it for real like for me like I was really doing the club

So like and there was more it was a few different spots in two different states

So I was like really seeing like what was going on with the money was like what was the issues with things

Um, the you know the ups and downs the you know pros and cons of the this thing that I was doing. Yeah, so

After like a couple years or like three years or four years, I was like I cool well

This is cool, but like there's a ceiling here. I got to like pivot, you know and

Uh, market myself in a different way where I'm not um

You know, just stuck a pigeonhole case in me. Yeah, you're like you're not only your stuck, but you're stretching yourself thin

You know what I mean? Yeah, cuz I felt like when you did there's like the equivalent you you graduated high school

So now you where to go to college for the next plateau that will take you away. I was like I cool man

I don't feel like fighting these dudes for like two three hundred dollars. Yeah, there's something bigger than that like beat it

You know what I mean? So so then um, I was like I cool well um, I started doing mixed tapes

so then

You know, I I switched my name because of my name was like kind of boring

So I switched it to dead eye and then I started putting out tapes

I was selling like three three to five hundred tapes out of out of the trunk of my car

between like oh

Three and like oh five. Yeah

So I did a bunch of tapes um

With a bunch of local dudes and like just mainstream stuff

Just experimenting with blends and remixes and things like that

um

And just having fun with it, you know what I mean? And then you know, I was like make a money. I was like

I cool. We're good

But then even then I was like all right. There's a ceiling here

You know, I started being like hi, let me try to get some some big artists on the on the on the on the tapes and hosting you know or

Shatter me out or whatever. So I started going to shows getting drops

um, and then you know

Getting them to to actually host tapes like fully you know what I mean? So

Um from there that that ended up doing great and I ended up, you know, getting way more fans and selling more things like that

Um, but even then I was like I cool. There's a ceiling here as well. So then right right around that time I started

Working on music producing music

Starting to make beats putting together songs

um, just kind of

Trying some things out and in order to graduate from the whole things to like putting out music myself instead of

Just being stuck in the DJ world, you know what I mean? No doubt no doubt. Well

You gave me some joints. Yes, sir. I wanted some of your joints. Can we go to home team for a second?

Can we go? Can we go to the outside? Let's go. We'll pay this during the outside featuring um easy money regs

Listen to one on two point nine tape-deck.

Got the brother DJ Dan in the building.

DJ Dan-I.

You know who you know. You know who you know, man.

Asked you the squad.

I got to know how the heck are you in term

got that with the get down.

Besides being Puerto Rican.

Um, well, so we...

He used to do these shows in like 2000

in this town called Tootsbury with a bunch of local rappers.

There was a bunch of dudes doing the thing at the time.

They got hip-hop in Tootsbury?

Well, it was just...

It was Lawrence, Matthew and behavioral dudes

renting a spot in Tootsbury.

And Tootsbury. Got it.

Got it.

Mark the sick. I have some...

I have some questions gotta ask.

Exactly. You know what I mean?

So I had met him and we had, you know,

we had no one of each other.

But um, I did, I ended up doing a freestyle.

I ended up doing a mixtape before I changed my name to Dead Eye.

Where I had easy money come through when he was at rock.

And um, he did a freestyle for me on this tape, right?

And, you know, it was dope, super fire.

And he came to the crib to do it, you know what I mean?

So then, this is like, oh, too.

And then um, he told term, obviously,

they had known each other, they had worked together.

They were friends, you know what I mean?

So he went back to behavioral and told term about me.

And then um, term had like another DJ.

And uh, he came through to do a freestyle for me as well.

And um, afterwards, like the next year, like in 03.

And um, he ended up doing two freestyle and we ended up,

he ended up using both of them on his hip politics one.

Okay. All right. Got it. Got it.

So we did two of my crib and then I ended up using one for a mixtape,

but then he did another one and we ended up using both of those for a hip politics one.

And it's been off to the racist emphasis then.

And then yeah. And then by the second hip politics, we was kicking it all the time.

You know what I mean? That was it. You guys were out of here.

Yeah. And then by the time by the second hip politics, that was 04.

We had already been doing shows and touring.

So the first tour we ever did was with Sean P.

Russ and peace and rock from Helter Skelter.

You went with, you went with bootcamp click all day?

Yeah. That was the first tour. It was, it was me term.

It was Helter Skelter and Rusty Jooks.

All right. So shut up. My man Petro was in the bus with it.

So, so how was that experience? Like, because I know that was wild.

That was my first tour.

I know. Look, listen, having, um, term and Sean Price in the same building or in the same car,

it must be some wild, wild energy coming on those two.

Yeah. Facts. No, it was crazy.

And if it's early 2000 term, I could only imagine.

I could only imagine that kind of energy with those two in the building.

Facts man. No, that was, that was a good time.

It was a few, it was a few shows. It was like three or four shows in the DMV area.

But yeah, I was a good time. But yeah, I was back in the day,

15 passenger van kind of thing.

Oh, yeah, we're grinding grinding.

Yeah, it was super grind, you know what I mean?

No doubt.

Yeah, man.

So that was like right before he did monkey bars.

Oh, so that was before that he was, he was almost out of here.

Because that was when he, he had like, in some second comeback, pretty much the same thing.

Yeah, exactly. He had kind of disappeared.

And then he just surprised anybody with monkey bars.

Yeah, right before monkey bars, we did that tour.

And it's great because people didn't know that we're rocking Sean Precious, the same person.

That was the part that we were crazy.

Yeah, nah, that was crazy. That was dope, man.

Yeah, he totally reinvented that.

That was the one hell of a marketing plan. He did for himself.

That was amazing, man. Rest in peace to the film.

Rest in peace.

So with that being said, I see you, you know, you've been traveling all over the world.

Yes.

Well, can you give me like a, can you, I want you to flex for a second.

Can you give us like an impressive resume that people use on DJ4?

Um, people have done DJed for a capadonna from Wu Tang.

Talk about it.

Obviously, terminology.

Let's go.

Edo G. Sling.

Yes.

Rex.

Let's go.

Trying to think.

Lakoka Nostra, Red Man and Method Man.

Camp Lo.

Who else?

Nori.

Yeah, nah.

The list is a ST NAC.

Yeah.

Reef the lost cause.

M.O.P.

Yeah, put it, put it impressive.

It's just endless.

Put it down.

Put it down.

It's just endless.

And I've watched on social media.

And I've seen the type of energy you get from the hip hop audience when you overseas.

I've been told plenty of times.

I mean, the comments are actually like with term, you know, when I talked about, you know,

him going overseas and told him, he tells me like, you know, the energy there is like

completely like dope.

It's different.

And it's dope because.

Completely different.

Um, they like, they really appreciate it.

Yeah, they really appreciate it.

I was spoiled here.

Yeah, it was.

They don't act too cool.

You know, we make it.

So we take it for granted, you know, I mean, it's like anything, you know, I mean, like

even movies, like we make the movies.

But they'll wait three months before they should see it, you know, yeah.

So what's your, what's your favorite place to go to?

I mean, there's a few.

I just want to South America, like earlier this year.

We're cap and, um, that was amazing, man.

I had never been down there.

That was the country.

We was in Brazil.

We was in Chile.

And we was in Colombia.

Dope, dope, dope, dope.

That was, I was next level.

So that was the ending, you know, we were there with Wu Tang.

So it's another level of energy, you know, I mean, so forget about it.

Yeah.

So it was, it was a good time.

Um, in Europe, I like, um, Switzerland.

I like, um, Paris is cool.

I like, um, what else?

I like Brussels, I like, uh, Germany's okay.

I like, um, I like Barcelona, um, Italy's dope, um, you know,

bunch of spots, man, um, Norway, Sweden, Stockholm's dope.

Um, so yeah, man, you know, all over the UK, obviously, you know,

so that passport almost damn me a stamped out.

Well, I'm on my second.

So this one, this one isn't.

And I got the one with the extra pages.

Oh, nice.

Nice.

I'm not going to run out in this one anytime soon.

No doubt.

That's what's up.

You know what I mean?

Well, I want to get to this other journey ahead right now.

Um, drug plot.

Yes.

Can we get to that one?

Yes.

So this is, um, this is the first single of my new album, uh,

entitled the song's called drug plots featuring methaman terminology

and a suspected deck produced by Frank Dukes, myself, and the archetype.

Before we get to this track, I heard, um, on the podcast, I listen to,

this verse from Mac, it was what almost a decade already had it.

You had a, you had a stach on the, yeah, I had it.

I had, I had the verse, um, I just didn't have the song finished, um,

and I had other things to, to finish first.

Yeah.

Like, like, I was working on, I was working on my last album when I got the verse.

So I wasn't, I wasn't ready to work on it, you know,

because I was working on something else.

Um, but yeah, it was like 20, like 13, 14, something like that.

And now you laid out the bag.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's another one that I'm, that I'm, I'm dropping soon.

Um, that's from that, like, from that era.

Okay.

Like, 2014 song, like the verse, I think the dope thing about it,

it sounds so like, like, so current.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's the, that's the, that's the, like, yeah, so current.

I made it in a rush to, to make, to make music because

my, it's forever.

Once you put it out forever and like, I just, I'm meticulous with it.

You know, I don't, I don't want to put anything out.

That's not to the T of heart.

I want it because it's forever, you know what I mean?

Bad.

No doubt, let's get to it.

Maybe drop plot.

Keep it mic plots.

Dead eye.

One or two point out.

Take that.

Let's rock it out.

Routine.

ST.

Let's rock it out.

BAM.

Call it how you want to.

Just know that when I come through, all I want is mine.

On this track, all I want is rhymes.

Head out, air Jordan, and it's prime.

Or should I keep it humble?

Silverback, a rill or in the jungle,

or do it like the sun do?

All I do is shine like a pot, or a convict.

All I know is time.

Drop some coke in my notebook, like all I know is lines.

Sixteen's with no hook, every pass is no look.

We'll talk I'm no crook, but all I know is crime.

Math man, I still got it.

And I don't care how many times you recycle a rhyme.

It's still garbage, trash.

The same the threat, it's a real promise.

And I ain't farther than twins.

I keep it real nice.

And your life from the drug spot.

Middle finger to your face, if your love cops.

We making these drug plots.

Go ahead, they go and say my name.

Two M's over your head, like I'm made back.

They say they like me.

And the M's for millimetre rap.

G the pack, key to chop a key up with your board.

Kick game serious, whip game serious.

You serious?

This egg is Elias and lyruses.

Don't break my joke.

I'm just here saving this rap.

I'm about to dig, pop back up out of the casket.

Dog life, bandana, wiping the fingerprints.

Guns so big, I got a hotter than the pyramids.

It's gonna be better.

Tell them pop my vanilla drive.

Fill a hell of hot ladies, taking jello shots that he dropped.

Dropping round, booping that news.

Turn that fed IFC.

The love going just the hate strong welcome the hell.

You can wear it for the night.

Just don't step on my twelfth.

Test that, let's request hell.

You know that?

Swooping, coming like mama said the fetch the bell.

I'm ghost pet, but that's spicy hot.

I do up a life.

You do up for the likes for my IG.

Like it or not, my price not likely to drop.

Talk cash, I'm at the buzzer like a curry shop.

You know the name.

My dope tracks give us full and veins.

Super bowl and green bay.

This is cold game.

The cold is the same.

The bullets got no name.

Drug blasts, low down and dirty.

But there's no shame.

We're gonna make it a take it.

You just face it and brace it.

I'm the favorite.

It's basic.

Quadal took the grave with it.

Lay with it.

Like it's my main.

Every day claiming the same.

What, what do you know about a lot of time putting it down

when it comes to this hip hop thing I hear, baby?

What you want to see?

You got some DJ.

We got it all out here in the 978.

You know what I'm saying?

Cuban Mike, DJ Dead Eye.

What's going on, partner?

We out here, man.

So we were talking behind the scenes.

First album came out 15 years ago.

Yeah, man.

In March, I actually slept on posting some,

you know, for the day of.

But I'm actually about to put out the

instrumental version of the album in the next month or so.

And then, you know, obviously,

the cat will be out the bag.

But yeah, 15 years, man.

Substance abuse.

So how do you feel about that, baby?

Because that's your first baby.

Yeah, no, I'm super proud of that record.

Yeah.

You know, I got a lot of props and, you know,

critical acclaim, you know, with the press

and with, um, and reviews.

And the fans loved it, you know,

I still get, I still get hit up about that album.

People always see me, you know,

local people tell me like it's a classic,

you know, I get mad love overseas for it.

You know what I mean? It's just,

it's one of those things that it took me a long time to do.

But the way I did it came out like the best for me.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, um, my two favorite joints on that album

get out the wavecork and I'm biased.

Yes, sir.

It's home team home team.

And actually, one of my other favorite joints

is my favorite town with the whole New York cats out there.

Yes.

Yeah, that was, that was a fire one for me out there.

Word, word, thanks brother.

Appreciate those two tracks out there.

MGI, man, that's the, that's the homey brother.

Fan favorite.

So we were talking behind the scenes.

And I actually had a couple of DJ questions to ask you

because I finished watching this documentary

called The Mixed Tape, produced by Tony Touch,

hosted by Tony Touch.

Word.

And it took, it broke down like the history of Mixed Tape,

like how it started, how they used to go to, um,

how they pretty much, they were, they were basically,

like Mixed Tapes, I don't know how it is right now,

but Mixed is doing those, those times,

they were the unofficial A&R.

They, they were, they were, was hot in the streets.

Thanks.

They, they, they were hot in the streets.

To the point that, you know,

it became like a treasure hunt.

And I know that for a fact because I mean,

I'm from Jersey, but when I moved out here to Lawrence,

I had to drive to New York to get those Mixed Tapes.

Yeah, yeah.

We had a, we had a spot in the hood in the mid 90s.

That was bringing tape.

It was bringing, but in last small, that was the thing.

It was like, it lasted probably, it was probably like,

it was probably a long, a long time, maybe like,

six to eight year run, but I was only hip for like three to four years.

Yeah, I was, I was, I was late to the party.

I was late, but I wasn't, you know, early.

Yeah, I was struggling.

And because I couldn't go outside like that, I had to like,

learn to go to New York or find one of my friends to like,

mail that to me.

Yeah, it was a, it was a hassle.

Yeah, shout out playground, man.

Yeah, shout out playground playground playground.

And now only that too, because we're from Lawrence.

And we couldn't get BET during that time.

Yeah, because we had yo, we had UMTV.

We had UMTV.

Yeah, and I lived in Lynn before I moved to Lawrence.

I was able to get BET, so when I moved to Lynn,

I'm like, I guess I'm going to have the channel new one.

I'm trying to go to Boston and Lynn,

that's what they had.

Haven't had it for quite a while.

Yeah, they brought it for.

And I don't know why Lawrence never had BET.

I always asked that question.

It was just like, it was definitely some like, uh, you know,

kind of type of like racial, racial, racial,

probably some racist stuff behind the scenes.

Probably, most likely.

Look at conversation.

They ain't want to be too black,

but they got to Hispanic for themselves.

That's one of the conversations.

Yes indeed.

But the mix tape, one of the things that, um,

and now you probably could be a person,

because I'm going to ask a bunch of DJs this question,

because I'm going to, I'm going to have more DJs on the show.

You know that?

There was a, there was an era where rappers used to go to y'all.

So like, be the taste maker.

So dictate was hot.

Yeah, I could say probably I could be wrong,

but it probably changed once 50 came along.

And he became like the anor and he kind of like cut the middle man.

Well, I wouldn't say it was necessarily 50,

but that era of music,

because it went from the DJ being the curator to the strip club

being the curator and places like that.

So it kind of like gave the power to those people

and lessened the power of the DJ.

And, you know, not like in the grand scheme of things,

but, you know, in the in the eyes of the regular people.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Yeah, obviously in hip hop, the DJ and the producer

or, you know, and the fan obviously are the ones that are

dictating the situation, but, you know, at that point,

it was like 50 and then was popping,

but before then, and after him was like the strip club culture

was the was now the curator.

Yeah, I mean, in the club, the club culture.

Yeah, that that played a part,

but I think also after 50, like a lot of artists

like took this into their own hands,

so they'd be like, oh, I don't have to go to the DJ

to play my stuff.

I could be my own DJ.

Yeah, yeah, you can make your own tape.

Make your own tape.

We're back in the day.

You have rappers being like, yo,

I'm going to Tony Touchhouse to do this freestyle.

I'm going to close out like close out a whole bunch of infamous

stories about 50 was doing that too in the first era.

Yeah, he was going to other pieces, but then he just said,

and then when he got who kid and had all the juice,

he was like, no, I'm going to just do it on my own myself.

Yeah, he wasn't the first one to do him,

but he was the first like commercially successful

mixtape rapper for a little while.

Okay, okay, the first rapper to do a mixtape,

and I will, if I'm wrong, say it,

but this is the guy to me,

because I don't remember a rapper tape before this,

is Core Mega, Core Mega Hustler rapper.

Okay, okay, I'll probably give you that.

Core Mega Hustler rapper is the first rapper mixtape.

Okay, I won't dispute that.

I can't remember that mixtape.

Because that's like 99 out there.

Because he was still promoting the survival

of the illness thing back in the day.

Yeah, exactly.

And that was for the testament.

Exactly.

Yeah, I think that was the time was on land speed.

Yes, yes.

Hustler rapper.

That was the first rap,

big tape commercially packaged.

You know, feel me?

Yeah.

And then after that, I was like,

fit the in, but there was other dudes after that.

But it was, again, like you've seen,

it was, they were on the, they were on the DJ tapes.

Yeah.

So like dudes like Joe Budden, Ransom, Fabulous,

Dipset and them.

Dipset and them, yeah, Dipset and them.

I'm, I'm Wayne with them.

Even Dipset, even Dipset was out.

Right around the time as those 50 mixed tapes

at the same time.

Yeah.

But they were hosted by K Slay.

Yes, yes.

So they still kept the DJ,

even though 50 had Who Kid.

But Who Kid wasn't doing his thing like

how K Slay was.

Who Kid was kind of new, you know what I mean?

So he was kind of like 50s,

50s artists too.

You feel me?

Yeah.

I guess I asked him to say this.

Is there any way,

because you, you watched the movie,

the documentary,

and then you probably get the gist of it.

Because I mean, DJ,

they were running things,

but y'all got greeted at the same time,

because they went from like,

all right, we're going to be the taste maker.

Then y'all would just rob and wrap us up

and just put them on your mix

and be y'all way too far with it.

Well, that was chasing the exclusive.

Yeah.

No, you know,

because back then you could still do it.

You could still, now you can't.

Like, unless you're directly tied to the artist,

there's no exclusive,

because all the music drops

for everyone at the same time.

Yeah.

So I guess your answer to my next question

is, is there any way,

have that error back where you could add?

You could, but you have to have a direct relationship

with the artist.

And then now what those dudes are doing

are making albums,

like,

Caled,

you know,

all these dudes,

you know, now they're producing

instead of having dudes on the tape.

On the tape.

You know what I'm saying?

Now they're making songs.

So.

So it's not, it's not one of those things

that you can like restore the feel like,

hey,

I'll give you an example.

If you have like a relationship with Kormega,

be like, yo, can you do a quick freestyle

for me for this playlist

and put it on your website?

And even then now rappers

are a little bit more stingy with that,

because they're like,

they don't want to waste the run

or they don't want to,

they don't want to do the freestyle

only for you.

They want to use it to put out

for their notoriety as well.

And that's cool.

That's fine.

What I would say,

what would be like,

say off of so and so's mixed tape

out now, you know what I'm saying?

When you promoted it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's that's my two cents, you know?

Oh, well, well,

but yeah, mostly those,

those situations are, you know,

they're not, they're not a button anymore,

because again,

people want to use it for their own thing

or whatever, you know what I mean?

But shout out to Green Lantern,

who just did a tape right

when Nas and Premiere did their album,

he did a whole mix tape call out.

The Blint?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fire.

That's like restoring the feeling type,

type situations, you know what I'm saying?

See, I was hoping, that's the close thing I got left,

because I think fabulous part of the close thing

I had her last time when he did the Friday night mix tape

when he tried to bring something back with cool.

Yeah, that was dope.

That was dope.

Yeah, that was super dope.

So that was like, that was like restoring the feeling too.

Yeah, I mean, this still do that type of stuff

on, but they're on the radio,

you know what I mean?

It's on shade 45, you know what I mean?

Or whatever, or whatever they have out west, you know what I'm saying?

Oh, but Flex does this freestyle series?

Something like that.

Yeah, yeah, there's still, you know, little things like that.

But even then now, you have platforms like LA leakers

and on the radar where these dudes are able to do what they

would normally do on a tape to get video,

to get another drop, to get another post, you know what I mean?

So it's just kind of switched to some of the situations

when the internet came to play, you know what I mean?

Yeah, well, we had a moment.

That was a good old days.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, sure.

So we got a single coming up.

Yeah, so I'm finishing it up right now.

I actually got to listen to one of the final mixes of it

in the next day or two.

The artwork's done.

The single will be out hopefully in a month.

It'll be the second single following the method man term

and inspect the Dexon drug plots.

The song's on me called Bustello.

Oh, no, you didn't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So who is on that track?

So it's most likely the last,

if not one of the last Sean Price Versus,

Smith and Wesson and Terms on it.

Okay, produced by Fizzy Woolmack.

Oh, okay, AKA a little female.

Low fame, dope, dope, dope.

Can I get a clean version of that?

I thought the play sometime when you get that.

Yeah, once once it's ready to go,

I'll definitely send you to clean.

No, I already got it kind of sorted.

Ready, I just got to get the record mixed exactly how I want it.

And then from there, I'll definitely launch it.

No doubt, no doubt.

You'll be definitely one of the first ones to get it brother.

Good looking out, man.

No doubt.

Well, I want to get to one of your joins right now.

Can we get the gangster?

Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

Shout out to my boy Jason on this,

Boston zone.

You know, shout out my man.

Tommy Whispers on this, TMF,

Stanton Island, Bootang,

and shout out my brother, Rem.

AKA Rem P.

He was a Sean Price's artist.

He's from Brownsville.

Okay.

You know what I mean?

Shout out Maus on the beat.

No doubt.

And this joins about different eras

of gangsters in history.

All right, back.

Let's rock it out, y'all.

One on two point nine tape deck.

DJ Dead Eye, Keepin' Mike.

Let's go.

Gangster off that intervention album.

Call it off, this is prohibition.

We blew a black and a hundred proofs.

Fire, Nucky Thompson, AC Ford, Rock, Empire.

When you really saw fall in a hole.

Cups, he single wasn't known.

The compound was a clone.

Negotiated with the clue, Cluck's clan.

And talk to the ground, wins it.

Eatin' every part of the chicken.

Even the damn gizzard got to keep the

happy at all costs.

Even when the governor called on the

All Force.

Mylancy, say so.

You lay low.

Cause he control a brothel in the book.

That the governor pays for.

Just drink a tourney.

Got inside me at night.

Stinkin' shitty risk his life for the night.

Probably not, but this country

you gotta make the money first.

Then when you get the money,

you get the power.

Then when you get the power,

then you get the one.

That's why you gotta make your own moves.

Scarface fantasies.

Need no brown tails.

Frank White embassy.

Follow the paper trail.

No sunny days in my Bronx cell.

You know gangsters get lost.

You eat ox tails.

Stay on the low and add a gel.

Dockin' like Nikki Bond.

Do like the tail.

Makein' AC cells.

And the cleanest cleanin' the beamer.

I saw a cleanser.

Like Papi Mason at the Fido.

Comey Boston, George.

Have I started with the Reaper?

Tuckin' to the fever.

Like Ricky ain't got my visa.

Parry, yo.

King, clean, drunk, flow.

Believers you need.

Nine times out of ten.

You gotta see us.

Richin' and rich poor.

I had bricks and cordists.

Recononomic supporters.

Try to take out some shorters.

Frank, who we stand bitchin'

for us and ask about borders.

You only get down for gel.

That's what they told us.

Gangsta, gangsta.

Carry the stick in the streets with you.

The rest of your life.

I like this thing in the streets.

It makes me feel good.

I like the smell of it opens up my lungs.

Yes, what I thought I was out.

I'm back again.

I'm out to make my own rag a daffy.

The dad Christopher Koch.

Shall we get pasty?

A Garveyite conflicted with a hard white.

You and I, ooh.

Trick the car.

No shop price.

Homie, I never fold.

You were right on the low.

When my young boys was on it.

Like Lacazoo, what take the risk?

Never been good.

Like El Gato.

Not about the dough.

Pullin' the L-choppel when trick out.

If it's their set up the house for winning their house.

I take the Frank Madness route.

Your body can silk up.

From a face shot.

Confirmed up.

Tried to connect with the black hole.

With a silk duck.

Different kind of values.

When everything over and heavy.

And the world moves through the silk.

Like Wayne Carrey.

I turn styles.

Because what I learned was talking.

What's understood?

I spoke it.

You don't make up for your sins in church.

You do it in the streets.

You do it at home.

The rest is both.

You know it.

Yeah, I know shootmen.

It's bad like you.

I'm just a gangster.

G-Geeel.

Yes, indeed.

Gangsta, Jason, Tommy Wisbiz,

RIMP off that intervention album produced by Moss.

And that is what it is.

You're keeping mic DJ Dead Eye.

Not 78 long town.

One or two point ink tape deck.

What up, what up, what up, what up, what up.

Want to tape deck.

Yeah.

So Dead Eye.

Tell me what's up next, man.

What we got up next in the future, man.

Well, like I said, I got the single dropping

in about a month, Bustello.

And then I have the to celebrate the 15 year anniversary

of substance abuse.

I am dropping a instrumentals version for that for that album

in about a month as well.

And then the album will be out sometime in the summer,

probably late summer, like August, September,

ish, you know.

No doubt, man.

Yo, listen, man, you got to open door the tape deck.

So anytime you want to pull up here,

have more dope conversations.

Of course.

Before we get out of here,

I know there's something fun I want to tell you before

because you talked about it on other podcasts.

You know, because the issue we had,

well, not the issue, but when we talked about the mixtape

documentary, we talked about, you know,

they love the DJs, but it got to point out,

got greedy with the music.

The tool point out would take a lot of rappers, buddy.

And we were making too much money.

Yeah, the feds were like, nah.

Yeah, so unfortunately they made an example of DJ drama

and them, but there was a funny story.

You told, I want you to tell my audience

what happened with the Wu Block mixtape.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So around the time the Wu Block album,

their first album was coming out.

I mean, they only have one album.

I guess they're working on the second one, but still?

Geez, I thought that.

Well, nah, it was that they had finished it.

It was ready to go.

They literally have the vinyl

that's been sitting in the warehouse

since the first one came out.

Damn, that was ready to go,

but something happened with the business

where they couldn't go forward with dropping the album.

And so they just got them into like a storage of some,

somewhere.

It's crazy.

Wow.

But anyway, when the first Wu Block album was coming out,

I had an insight to the label that was putting out

the album.

I had an A&R that worked there that was a friend of mine.

So he was telling me when it was coming out.

And I was, I started like gathering records online

and through the different avenues and free styles

and stuff like that.

And I put together this Wu Block mixtape

of like 36 joints of like stuff

that wasn't going to be on the Wu Block album.

So I put it all together and I just,

their album was, their album was called Wu Block the album.

And my joint was called Wu Block the mixtape.

And I ended up dropping it the day they put out the album.

So they were selling a lot of music,

but I was selling a lot of mixtapes

and getting mad spins because people thought

my mixtape was their album.

And I was selling it for cheaper because it was just a mixtape.

So I was getting stupid spins on that to the point where

I ended up getting a cease and desist from the label

because there was making too much noise.

They were like, yo, what the hell is this?

Like, we didn't authorize this.

We didn't put this together, you know what I mean?

But yeah, I ended, I think the first day

I ended up getting like something like five to 10,000 impressions

and clicks, which is crazy for mixtape

on the first day, you know what I'm saying?

So those unbelievable joints,

it was something that you had a cplugging there

and it's doing that too?

No, they had leaked a bunch of joints around the time

and a bunch of freestyle.

Okay, just online, it was just online.

And then, you know, I just started digging

and I started finding older records

that weren't really super big

that I could put on this tape.

Now, it looks like next to something new,

it looks like something else now.

You know what I'm saying?

So, you know, there was some of that going on.

And then, I think I did have maybe like one or two songs

off of the album, but it was stuff that had already leaked.

So, stuff people already knew or heard.

But most of it, probably like,

85% of it was all stuff that was all leaked

that didn't have a home.

Like, it wasn't on anything.

You know, it was just stuff on YouTube.

It was YouTube, but you just grabbed them

and put them on.

Yeah, I just curated it and made it actually

like flowing mixtape to it and then dropped it the day of

and yeah, I made a lot of noise, bro.

They definitely were mad.

Good job.

Good job.

Good job.

Yeah, good job.

Made an imprint, you know.

Yeah, it's a loop.

So, with that being said,

I see you got a couple of CDs out there.

You got a spark.

You talk about those.

I know you did something with Red Man.

Yeah, so I have a mixtape series.

I dropped with Red Man entitled Sour Power.

Show us the CD.

So, I got, this is the second one

and this is the third one.

But we're up to volume four.

Volume four came out last year.

I'm working on volume five now.

All right.

And then I have a mixtape I did with him in 2010,

which was the beginning of me kind of starting to do

these sour powers with him.

And they're all officially hosted by him.

It's all again, kind of like the Wublock situation.

It's stuff that I'm grabbing and exclusives

that I'm getting from some of the artists involved

and Red himself, you know what I mean?

The last two tapes, three and four,

were hosted by other people as well as him.

You know what I mean?

Like I had NEMS on the last one.

I had P.D. Cracked on the last one.

I had Master Killer on the one before that.

Ghost Face was on the one before that.

You know what I mean?

So just kind of like keeping it in that room.

And I kind of just started doing them

because around 2010, he was off a deaf jam

and like hadn't put out anything.

And he was just kind of doing like just leaking records online.

Yeah.

And I was like, yo, like these joints are all fire.

Like they don't have a home.

They don't have one place that where somebody could just check it out

if they're a Red Man fan.

So I kind of curated them all.

But I had met him at 08.

Like we got real close and he gave me his number.

But by 2010, I had lost contact with him.

And I curated, I just put this tape together.

And because I couldn't get the drops

because I had lost contact with him,

I made the tape flow like New Jersey Drive.

Okay. Like the movie?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So the tape flow was like that.

And it's called New Jersey Reggie.

And then in 2013, we started doing the sour power tapes.

Okay.

So we're up to four now.

They're all on my bandcamp, DJ.Deadeye.bandcamp.com.

Nice, nice, nice.

And what are the other ones you got out there?

The ST Sirius, the ST?

Yeah, so I got, also obviously I got my album intervention

on all platforms.

And then I got the ST album.

I did that in 2017.

It's coming up on 10 years, which means I'm probably

going to have to be harassing these guys to do another project

coming up soon.

But yeah, the ST album, I curated it all myself.

Executive produced myself.

Obviously, I had everyone from the team.

Terminology, Rex, Easy Money,

Artisan, Superstar Snuck.

My Chete clip, myself.

And then you know, it's got static select all over it.

I got a production from my boy Deli from Seattle.

You know, who else?

Got Baby Paul on there from Beat Miners back in the day.

Also, my man, Lohman from the local hero, you know,

I'm saying from Boston.

All right.

So, and also Vinny Idol from Deep Lab is on there.

So the album's called Self-Titled.

It's out everywhere.

You know, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

I also got a few other albums that I've curated.

I got an album called Silence Punk by artist named

Runt Dog, who's Red Man's artist.

It's just like punchlines and hard beats.

Anyone that's like a hip-hop fan is going to definitely dig it.

Oh, he's on that little miracle spiritual tip.

Nah, it's like, it's like, it's like,

ODB with punchlines.

Nope, I'll take it.

I'll take it.

You feel me, so it's like funny, you know, crazy,

you know, just like an ODB album would be,

but like, you know, crazy, crazy rhymes and crazy,

funny punchlines.

So yeah, and he's a Red Man's artist.

He's on a bunch of Red Man albums.

He's on Red Man's last album.

I'm also on Red Man's last album.

What do you want to do?

What do you want to do?

Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get scared, the trunk.

Yes.

And then runs on the song, Why You Mad?

Yeah.

No doubt.

Which they're doing a video for soon.

No.

So, you know, I got a bunch of stuff I've done

where I've produced stuff and then stuff I've

executive produced or just curated and put together,

you know, not on the bandcamp.

No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Well, yeah, man, um, I wish we could talk more, man,

but you know, my time's taken for this, Joe,

you know, how it is to take the bandcamp.

Yeah, I already know.

They have to hold it.

I already could hold your heart for so long, man.

Saw them, my brother.

But yeah, man, we got a lot out there.

So yeah, that's what I meant.

Don't be a stranger.

Please come again, come again for the next,

for the next go around.

Yeah, I got the album in the summer and I got the singles

and the instrumental coming soon.

I also started releasing a bunch of old remixes of mine.

Like stuff I did on these old mixed tapes.

Yeah, as new remixes on YouTube.

So my YouTube page, I'm trying to get it a little bit more popping.

So I'm dropping like every few days.

I'm dropping an old remix on my YouTube page

at war games official.

No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Well, I say that to say this, man.

Thank you for coming up.

Thank you for pulling through, man.

And thank you for you.

Thank you for the hip hop service that you do for the culture,

for the game, man.

Look, I always say, if you look to look for any

motivational inspiration, just check back home, man.

I'm able to say, I know a brother like that,

I, even people like terminology,

hell, even my brother who's been on MTV,

you know, anytime I look for inspiration, man.

Just check home, man.

Always checking home, man.

That's the, that's the move.

Like, that's why we be home.

It's to show people like it's attainable.
