An insightful interview from an important member of hip hop, DJ Scratch. hard to believe I don't see more posts out there about this interview from the amount of knowledge and history dropped. He sits down with DTP radio, speaking about his discovery of turntables as a child living in Brooklyn, getting discovered by Lyor Cohen, Russell Simmons, EPMD, Jay-Z and a rundown of some of his past/present production works in between commentary by him and the 2 hosts. You'll hear some inside moments from his career too, from golden era tour stories, to Timbaland calling his voice mail just to hear his beats.


To look back on the career of DJ Scratch shows one of a few examples of outstanding young talent and technical ability of hip hop during the late 80's-early 90's, when you consider his achievements as a teen alone. It has been good to see his growth from killing the 1200's on EPMD records, into notable production credits, dropping gems with Busta Rhymes, Flipmode Squad, LL Cool J, Onyx, DMX and others. Not only does Scratch continue to provide an understanding of showmanship in hip hop performance as a DJ, but he brings important ideas of sound in his production from years of contribution to other hip hop classics.
