Time for Drama
02-06-2008
Copywritten or not; if you got love on the streets, you’re as good as gold. Putting out quality street music has made DJ Drama, top dog and king of the mixtape.
From hood to hood, East to West, Drama’s infamous Gangsta Grillz mixtape franchise changed the way DJs could market their music while pushing the focus back on the guy behind the turntables. Over 20 mixtapes later, his name and mixtape magic is now a brand.
Aside from the esteemed title of T.I.’s Official DJ, Drama is also the founding member of Atlanta’s Aphilliates crew.
Busted by the FBI for copyright infringement in January 2007, the drama (pardon the pun) did little to affect his status in the hip hop game, if anything the publicity increased his popularity and street cred.
Check out the master mogul Saturday at Pipeline Cafe.
