& My faith is still alive!

@BOOSIEOFFICIAL@RickRoss@TPAIN@trapbeckham
AND GET MY VERT!
20 years laters, birthday bitch one the biggest songs of my generation! Always wanted that plaque
I’ve never received any plaques over the years but growing up from Duval , my plaque was to run it up an old school vert! (Still working) lol
Shout out to ivory. He gave me my first pair of turntables ever. (STILL HAVE THEM TILL THIS DAY)
Gemini direct drive turntable, both of them AND THE MIXER ‼️
Booyyyyyy it was up after that.
I played toooo much damn trap Beckham, Boosie, T pain & Rick Ross.
Back door music was formed, we started pushing artist by name “Trap Beckham” from Duval. It’s was force in the city, no cap!
Alot of DJ’s around the city pushed play for sure! It was a tidal wave momentum. I had placement is major clubs & eventually I ended becoming his main DJ
I’m taking off I’m rockin biggest clubs in Duval by now. I’m talking everything from:
Burbon street
Aqua
Plush (foam parties)
Massacres
Club Christopher
Bottoms up
Damn near 5-6 nights a week.
Still didn’t have equipment until I met ivory
Fast forward couple years, I’m rockin the biggest night clubs in Duval.
I was rockin parties with whose ever equipment I could borrow or was spinning set that same night in the venue. (It’s was tough back then in HS)
I did have a windows computer w/ serato, I was pulling up!
2 djs said when I didn’t know shit.
DJ D Money ( showing me skill and technique ) & DJ CAP ( showing me technique, MC’n and crowd control)
Like I say, it’s not a dj that can’t say i didn’t step, try to learn , or whatever bout dj when I was a young bull but it took frm them
RIP Derrick Washington(Upstart ent)
The 1st individual that said yes to an opportunity to me rocking teen parties in high school.
I was heard spinnin by boy rick , who a big time party promoter from Pointblank ent rocking the party for upstart and the rest is history.
I learned game from any dj that would teach me anything around Duval.
I remember carrying dj crates , equipment, car keys, flyers, whatever I could to be around DJ’s, get in the clubs to learn as a Jit. I was starving for it.
Boy did I pick up the game fast.
Ever since bout 06’ I saw DJ Q45 on rap city, then I saw TJ Da dj & Dj kool-aid dj rocking at club kartouche , i fell in love with music and craft of being a dj, breaking records, pushing artist , I took on Dj head first and went.
Being from Duval, the music culture was diff!!!
