Eloquently Saying Nothing

ESN #516 : The Racial Hierarchy Episode

One of hip-hop’s true legends, Slick Rick helped lay the blueprint for rap when he signed to Def Jam Recordings in 1986. Known as one of the most sampled hip-hop artists of all time, Slick Rick returns to the arena as a solo artist with ‘Victory,’ his fifth studio album and first since 1999. In this exclusive commentary, the critically acclaimed rapper and producer talks about tracks from ‘Victory,’ and how he let his imagination run wild. There’s “Another Great Adventure,” which is co-produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, and “Documents,” a James Bond-style yarn with special guest rapper Nas. Hear more from Slick Rick, only on SoundCloud.

 "Live" on Tik Tok @djboss813  where I go live Mon. & Thurs. 8pm est.,  Sat. 10am

 Hello I am "Dj Boss". out of Tampa   Florida. 

As a Dj and a hobbyist. I enjoy Music too much... (Old-School) I prefer mixing songs that have enjoyed their 15 min. of fame. It gets redundant listening to the same Newer stuff over and over on the radio and of course how much of it's played. This is why I make My Own Mix-Tapes. My hope is to resurrect good old forgotten songs and bring back to life those ah! memories we once enjoyed and experienced. 

" GOOD Music Shouldn't Have an Expiration Date". I do also enjoy very much mixing today's new genres like House, Club, Dance Music with a twist...

 I carry a variety of genres from Spanish to English., From R&B Quiet Storm type of music to 80's, Freestyle and Energy House Style Mixes.  All Mixes Are done live, no Special software included, which is what makes it fun...

I am very proud of my Soundcloud portfolio, Its not huge like maybe others, but because I have only used it for a few years, and the following I have are genuine and organically grown.. I don't follow people for follow backs , I don't buy followers. What I see is, if people enjoy several of my mixes, then they follow me.

You can find me mixing "Live" on Tik Tok under @djboss813  where I go live Mon. & Thurs. 8pm est. or 5pm pt.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
