When you think of top mix tape DJ's, what's the first thing that usually
comes to mind?
If your initial answer was Cluemanati, then your second answer should and
would undoubtedly be the people's choice, DJ Envy. Donned the "Mix Tape
Assassin" after churning out four volumes of mix tape mayhem from artists
such as Cam'ron, Beanie Siegel, Jay-Z & the Lox, he doesn't plan on stopping
there. The one that brought you the "Sopranos" mix tape series and
re-introduced the streets to the classic blend has a few things up his
sleeve for 2002. This two-time TDK Just-O Mix Tape Award recipient has
accomplished a great deal in his ten plus years of ripping turntables.
Now-it's time to let the people know that there is more to this turntable
technician than just spinning records.
Growing up in Queens on the same block as the "Questionmark Man" DJ Clue,
Envy was around to witness the true evolution of the Mix Tape Game
firsthand. "I was around long enough to see Clue
 go
from driving a little gray Sentra to driving a big body Benz. That's when I
knew I had to step it up", says Envy. And that's exactly what he did. He
started out by establishing his own company called BLOK Entertainment. BLOK
Entertainment is an upcoming talent, management & production company founded
in 1998. Envy currently serves as President and CEO. To his credit, BLOK has
already produced several scorching tracks for artists such as Foxy Brown,
Def Squad, Funkmaster Flex, Irv Gotti's Murderers, Fabolous, DMX and for the
highly acclaimed motion picture Exit Wounds, starring DMX and Steven Segal.
In addition to doing production on other projects, he showcases his creative
 talents
on his own debut album, "DJ ENVY BLOK PARTY Vol. 1 The Desert Storm Mixtape".
This album will showcase a regional all-star lineup of artists such as
Jay-Z, Redman, Cam'Ron, Styles from the Lox, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, Rah
Digga, Foxy Brown, Juvenille, Lil Wayne, Memphis Bleek, Nelly and The St.
Lunatics and Desert Storm's own Fabolous, Joe Budden & Paul Cain and much
more. With a cast like this, there is no doubt that this LP will be a banger
not to be overlooked and by the sound of it, Envy seems to be just as
enthused: "When this album drops my fans will be thoroughly pleased." |
