May 6, 2012
Chances are if you’ve watched MTV at any point in time you’ve seen the “Pimp My Ride” show hosted by rapper/actor Xzibit or as participants on the show would often refer to him as….”Mr. X To The Z”. The ‘Pimp My Ride’ show would find willing participants with the most busted ass vehicles & then have a team of creative auto mechanics trick it out. Professional DJ & former Masters Of The Mix show finalist DJ Yonny hosts this new internet show that just debuted called “Pimp My Turntables” where they creatively trick out the equipment for professional DJs & turntable enthusiasts. In the very first episode they catch up with international party DJ & Philly legend DJ Jazzy Jeff as they trick out his turntables in such a way that just leaves him speechless.

White Lines & The Fever (Trailer)
April 26, 2011
I don’t know if this documentary is out yet, but I’d sure would like to see it. I’ve always heard many old school artists & DJs talk about the legendary Disco Fever. Especially when the Fat Boys talked about getting the opportunity to perform there in the movie Krush Groove. Documentaries like these are always interesting to me because usually its before my time & helps to give us perspective when done accurately. What makes this trailer even more interesting is that it documents the life of DJ Junebug who doubled as a drug dealer who’s life ended tragically.
“This is the story of Junebug’s double life as a DJ and drug dealer. Recalling the Bronx in the early 1980s, this documentary explores the old-school days of hip-hop and the dangerous underworld at the legendary Disco Fever. Never-before-seen footage and interviews with Kurtis Blow, DJ Hollywood, and Sal Abbatiello tell the tragic story of one of the greatest DJs ever.”
