Biografía de DJ Drama

DJ Drama is a disk jockey hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S who was born on April 22nd 1978. He gained notoriety as T.I’s official DJ and has since released his own run of celebrated mixtapes while working with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Lil Wayne in the interim.

Born Tyree Cinque Simmons, DJ Drama’s career in hip-hop began with a stint as fellow Philadelphia native Bahamadia’s official DJ. Having befriended her when he was a teenager, he had become her DJ for her live sets by the time he went to college in Atlanta, Georgia’s Clark Atlanta University. Being the noise behind one of the most acclaimed rappers on the east coast has its benefits, it seems, and with the heightened profile that his job gave him he was able to form his own crew while still in college, called The Aphilliates. He also began a series of acclaimed mixtapes called the “Automatic Relaxation” series, but it wasn’t until he started the “Gangsta Grillz” series of mixtapes that he began to get noticed on the national scene.

To get an idea of just how hot this series was, a buzz single was released for the first majorly released album on the “Gangsta Grillz” series in 2007. It was called “Takin’ Pictures” and it featured Young Jeezy, T.I and Rick Ross as only three of the six rappers featured on the track. This was for a track that wasn’t even going to be released, let alone chart, and needless to say Drama’s profile skyrocketed after that, especially when T.I poached him to be the official D.J for his Grand Hustle organization. Ever since then, DJ Drama has worked with anyone who is anyone in American hip-hop, from 2-Chainz and Kendrick Lamar to OutKast and Pharrell to name but a few.

Drama’s skill for spotting and working with talent old and new hasn’t gone unnoticed, and in January 2014 it was announced that he’s working as an A&R man for Atlantic Records. He still hasn’t forgotten his roots though, and his live sets can still cause utter anarchy wherever they might be held, and for that reason, he comes highly recommended.

DJ Drama, the name says it all! the party didn't want to end! Half Jamaican and half Albanian, originally from Philadelphia,USA. Now the A&R of Atlantic records built up so much hype within me, I think he changed my pulse, my heart beat and my lung settings! Hit after hit after hit, so many hits you would think we were at a boxing match! DJ Drama probably the most successful host, brought nothing but good vibes and good times, playing songs such as 'Goin' Down', 'Never Die' and 'So many girls' from the more recent successful album 'Quality Street' to bring life to the party. There was a point where I thought to myself; as sweat was dripping down my face that there was no way any song could make me move my aching body a degree more, that was until 'My Moment' blew the speakers! Starting with Dj Drama saying the familiar words 'This moment... It's Close!' and then silence, one second, two second, three, four, chatter surged through the crowds as suspense built and then, silence. The beat dropped and the bass boomed through the room echoing through the bodies of all, raising our bodies off the floor as the room jumped in unison! Never have i felt a whole room simultaneously move, it was glorious and it would appear the moment had come, I recommend anybody to go to a Dj Drama performance, or even if it's just him making an appearance at a venue, you DO NOT want to miss out when that moment appears.

I had never been to that venue before and was suprised how good it sounded! I love this duo, easy to vibe with every song and the show was entertaining and fun to watch as well. They hung out in the bar after the show and chatted with people, they were so chill! I really wish them the best of luck.
