DJ HIZTORY
SMM: Who is Dj-Hiztory .
Hiztory is a young black male who enjoys playing music that makes people dance, not music people just dance to.
SMM : who introduced you to the turn table.
Hiztory: I was introduced to turntables by Dj Divine ( Legendary Hip-Hop Group P.R.T original dj )
SMM : what kind of equipment do you use.
Hiztory: I'm old school at heart, lol. I still use Technics 1210, Rane 62 and Macbook Pro
SMM : How did you get involved with Mal Jones.
Hiztory : To be truthful, I'm not really sure what hip-hop show I was djing at, but I do remember speaking to him. During the convo, he asked me to play at his next Lyricist Live show at Artwalk ...and the rest is History lol
SMM : How many Mixtape have you hosted.
Hiztory : At the start of my dj career I hosted a lot . Over the last 4 to 5 years, I have hosted about 5-10. My latest work is posted on Datpiff
SMM : AS a Dj what do you think about the state of hip-hop today.
Hiztory : To me the hip hop music is taking a turn for the worse. The creativity is being taken away from the artist causing less substances in the music. Hip-hop use to be the pipe line on to inform the urban youth what was going on around the world. This is evident in the behaviour of the youth today.
SMM : What do you enjoy about being a Dj.
Hiztory: I love making people escape from the world and get lost in the moment. There's nothing like playing that song to make you forget, make you, dance and have you on the floor looking crazy, but loving every second of it. That's the life of a real Dj .
SMM : Any advice for the young minds who want to follow you in your foot-steps
Hiztory: Yes, learn the history of djing. Also learn about the music you are planing to spin, get an understanding on how much of an impact you have on people when playing music. Stay open when it comes to the genre of music you listen to. Remind yourself that every song has a message be it good or bad. Never be afraid to step out of the box .
SMM : What direction would hip-hop go to in the future
