While filling in for the radio show following my Suite Delight, I decided to sprinkle some DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah onto the playlist. I chose Make It Last and near the middle of the song, the phone rang in the radio station DJ booth.
A listener from North Carolina called in asking me what I was playing. He thanked me for telling him, I thanked him for listening and calling in to the show and gave him a shout out during my talk spot.I believe that the caller and I are not the only ones asking when DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah will be back for more. Hopefully we don’t have too much longer until we get our answer.
Check out the DJ Jazzy Jeff installment of the Crate Diggers documentary series.
I was not going to let history repeat itself with the DJ Jazzy Jeff Hip-Hop Forever III CD. I have always had an interest in perfecting my DJ skills and instintctively, DJ/producers like Kenny Dope and DJ Jazzy Jeff are mentors for myself and anyone willing to learn.
I figured a little over an hour of DJ Jazzy Jeff selections and cuts is as good a lesson any incumbent DJ can have.
J Dilla's influences can be felt in the mix. Both DJ Jazzy Jeff and Dilla released albums on BBE.
Unlike Kenny Dope's East Coast centred Hip Hop Forever, DJ Jazzy Jeff expands to the West Coast as well as showcases Detroit and Canadian hip hop artists.
