DC: Tell me how your experience coming up in Detroit and Ohio, over the years helped to impact your musical influence?
AD: When I moved from Detroit to Ohio, 93 FM WZAK used to have master mixes, just like in Detroit where they had The Wizard and Electrifying Mojo.

The Fearless Four, Treacherous Three, Crash Crew. I even fucked around and hooked up with Prince Whipper Whip, from The Cold Crush Brothers/Fantastic Five, and the movie Wild Style that’s my main man, shit his deejay Grand Wizard Theodore was the one who invented scratching, how fucking classic can you get. Shit I just talked to him the other day.
