Name: Lesson 4: Jaycee, Sway In The Morning April 2019 by DJ Jaycee
Duration: 44 min 44 s
Description: one day while in NYC for a #DungeonFamily tour date, I was invited up to SiriusXM studios to rock a LIVE set on #SwayInTheMorning. here's what happened, enjoy!!

Throughout my career, I’ve created (or co-created) some iconic mixtapes.  Viva La Hova.  Dillagence.  Ready To Boom.  That mixtape with Adele.  And of course, the Summertime series with Jazzy Jeff.

But this one here (probably my last ever mixtape, to be honest) is special.

The music.  The concept.  And even the origin story.

Recently, I was blasting Jay-Z’s The Blueprint in honor of its 20th anniversary.

My fiancé Carolyn was upstairs playing lots of Beyoncé to balance out the incessant amount of Hov playing in my office.

At one point, both playlists synced on beat and my mind was blown.

My first thought: THIS SHOULD BE AN ALBUM

I called up my creative partner Chi Duly (the most talented musician I know) and we fleshed out the idea for this project.

I dug up all the classic Blueprint samples (and some other classic Jay sources, as well).  

Chi acquired a bunch of Beyoncé acapellas.   And then we got to work.

23 songs.  All songs produced exclusively for this tape.  These are not deejay blends.  This is original production using the original samples with lots of other fun things added in.

(And, of course, some rare and timely Jay-Z verses sprinkled in for good measure).

I’m not sure if we will ever get The Carters, Part 2.

But until that day… we have something just as good. :)

This is the most creative thing I have ever been a part of.

This is Beyoncé meets The Blueprint.

This is THE B-PRINT.

KELLEN DE VOS - GRAND SLAM

Originally from Detroit, DJ Jaycee is a veteran party & radio rocking DJ who continues to make an imprint within the DJ community & music industry worldwide. Jaycee is from the breed of DJ's where collecting records was a passion & perfecting cuts, blends, and every kind of scratch is part of a daily routine. His extensive knowledge of all genres of music was established as a child and flourished as did his passion for deejaying. 

From winning battle competitions to creating a buzz throughout Athens (WUOG 90.5 "The Power of Soul") and Atlanta’s various college radio mixshows like (WRAS 88.5) "Tha Bomb" & "Rhythm & Vibes", they all played a crucial role in establishing Jaycee as a DJ that couldn't be ignored, which then led to him becoming a musical mainstay in the club scene by playing such legendary Atlanta venues as The Warehouse, Velvet, Kaya, Oxygen, Esso, Flava, The Chili Pepper, Vision and many many more. 

In 1995, So So Def’s DJ Nabs (tour DJ for Kris Kross, Da Brat, Xscape) featured Jaycee on his mixshow "The Thunderstorm" on V-103 & after bearing witness to his versatility and presence as a DJ during guest spots, V-103 PD Tony Brown immediately hired him and soon after he was spinning and hosting his own mix show, "The Late Nite Mixtape" where for years he effortlessly displayed turntable dexterity and broke tons of new music. 

After pretty much witnessing Jaycee display his musical knowledge and turntable dexterity all over the city, in 2000 Ludacris asked him to be his official tour DJ and he went on to tour the world relentlessly, sharing stages with Luda on huge tours like Eminem's Anger Management Tour, Outkast's Stanklove Tour, prestigious award shows such as the Grammys, American Music Awards, The VMA’s, The BET Awards, Top Of The Pops, as well as VH-1's Hip Hop Honors and more. He has also been on notable television shows ranging from TRL, Rap City, Saturday Night Live, 106 & Park, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Regis & Kelly, Tyra Banks, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Carson Daly and more. 

Due to extensive touring, Jaycee took a hiatus from the radio in 2001 but he returned to V-103 in September of 2008 doing "The Old School Lunch Mix" which has since smashed Atlanta radio ratings records, leaving competitors completely off the page. With the success of his radio mixes, Jaycee still manages to re-invent himself when playing the club circuit throughout the world. He is a DJ that is responsive to the crowd, but still manages to push musical boundaries. Jaycee has effortlessly proven that he can play every kind of genre from r&b to rock to top 40 to hip hop, funk, reggae & so much more.
