DJ Redd

No Sleep Till…

When you think of New Music Mecca you have to think of Atlanta. When you think of New Music  in Atlanta, you have to think of D.J. Redd aka Redd Dread.

From the beginning

Being born in the birthplace of “Hip Hop,” the Bronx, New York, and later in youth moving to the Kingdom of “Hip Hop,” Queens, New York, a young man’s love of all things in the “Culture Hip Hop,” was born. Redd learned to rap, D.J. and breakdance by age twelve, giving hail and respect and taking inspiration from icons Run DMC.

Redd got his discipline from his years spent in the U.S. Army division of the military where he still focused on the industry by specializing in communications. After leaving “Sam’s Service,” he entered University, and earned a degree in Recording Engineering. With these skills he would shape the rest of his life and others.

“The sky is the limit for me as I work to build a meaningful legacy the world will be proud of and respect.”

Redd Dread

Right out of school Redd was hired by “The Listening Group Publishing Co.,” 1440AM New Jersey. It was here he honed his skills producing and engineering major weekly radio shows for three years.

Then as his love was Hip Hop, and the New Music Mecca was moving, he moved with it, straight to Atlanta. Redd began to volunteer at a renowned community based radio station, WRFG 89.3FM, where in a few short months, he earned a position as Host of his own weekly show, “The World Party.”

The desire to still rise higher takes him to the door of the newest and most promising star in the Hip Hop night sky, Radio One’s 97.5FM. He began as an intern in the late 1990’s. As they transformed he did also. Hot 97.5 became Hot 107.9 Atlanta’s only Hip Hop station. Atlanta solidifies its position as New Music Mecca. Redd solidifies his position as “Mr New Music”

Redd Dread – D.J. Redd or “The Music Franchise”

As you observe Redd, the quiet serenity and humble reserve you are mistaking as shyness is really the scrutiny and keen eye and ear that give him the uncanny ability to sense and guide up and coming talent. This is directly attributed to the many hats he wears. He manages Radio One’s “Hot Shot” basketball team. Redd also sits on the board of “Positive American Youth Foundation,” in association with Fulton County Public Library System, where he gives seminars on the music and entertainment industry to over three thousand youths a month (see PAYUSA.org).

” Redd,” as we shall refer to him from this “stage” on, is the CEO of two corporations. One is his own “Music Franchise Corporation LLC,” which encompasses “Seven Knocks Publishing” and “Mood Recording Studios.” He works constantly. Since 2006 he has worked as New Music Coordinator and A&R for 107.9. With the “Dirty Boys” on the “Battlegrounds” show, he facilitates Battlegrounds and new music as a whole. He can always be found, when not popping up on air, popping up to host, judge, or support open-mic shows across the city. He does “New Music Wednesdays” at the radio station, where artists can come get their new music heard and critiqued.

Redd also reigns over his reality TV show “Ears to the Street-World Party,” where he airs the newest up and coming artist from around the world. In this vast kingdom he also sits his second CEO seat over his newest Partnership endeavor, “Industry Minds Consulting LLC.”

Who better to consult with when you want to find out how to master the game than one of the games’ gatekeeper “Mecca Dons.”

Redd – not the color

Dread – not the hair but the fear

Russ Parr Morning Show

The longest running, nationally syndicated hip hop and R&B morning show in the country. Hosted by Russ Parr with Alfredas, SupaKen, Vic Jaggar, KK, and Albert “Somebody Trippin.”

Jazzy McBee

A native of Decatur, GA, experiencing family shifts and strife, but still being afforded the opportunities to find who she was, Jazzy McBee is building upon everything sent her way. She currently works for Radio One and has six years under her belt with the company. She plans to branch out into a wide array of fields in the entertainment industry, but none of them will take her away from her strong foundation built around God, family, and community.

Starting off as an intern with HOT 107.9, her hunger and hard work allotted her the chance to work her way from board operator, to her current positions as on -air personality and programming assistant for Radio One-WHTA.

Her strong love for family and community has driven her to become a part of various charities and prompted her to start her own, the Annual Jazzy McBee “Buzz in the Streetz Tour” which encourages students to stay in school, puts together pep rallies for the CRCT, and gives young people hope and a more positive direction for their lives. She is also Vice President of the non-profit organization, A Place of Motherly Love Inc., which works closely with at risk young women.

My motivation comes from family and visualizing my dreams. I see it and I feel close to it so never giving up on them keeps me motivated.

Losing her mother in 2008 reminded her not only of the precious value life holds but also of all the support and wisdom she drew from her and those she is closet to. That makes all her goals she is achieving and working towards that more important. Her success speaks to hard work but also a strong support system that anyone aiming for something bigger than what they can see needs along the way.

In a world where people desire stardom so they can stand for all things flashy, Jazzy’s aim remains to be mentioned amongst those who gave love to those around them at all times. A woman of integrity, tangible realness, and reliability stands a lot longer than those who search for fame for superficial come ups. Jazzy McBee is always aware of that so she works on the person she is just as much as the household name she continues to build on.

Beestroh

A famous TV villain once said, “Any man can win when things go his way, but it’s the man who overcomes adversity that is the true champion.” Surely the writers who inked these profound words for Dallas antagonist J.R. Ewing had no idea they would one day be used to frame the story of an urban disc jockey; but in the case of Hot 107.9’s late-night personality BEESTROH there are a few quotes that sum up his personal journey any better.

Born in Holyoke, MA, BEESTROH spent his teenage years and early 20s on the wrong side of the law, ducking and dodging the police and the haters at every turn. In between his varied, lucrative exploits in the streets, BEESTROH linked up with some neighborhood friends and formed a group called Dotcom, a Fugees-styled, two man, one woman trio that came very close to landing a deal with Elektra Records before disbanding due to a “lack of passion” from the other members.

While working with Dotcom, BEESTROH mastered every tool in the studio on his own, discovering a new passion for production that would serve him well in the future.

Gangsta Grillz Radio with DJ Drama

Ask any rap fan to name the one of the most talked-about DJ’s right now, and the name Drama is sure to spew out of their mouth. Introducing the rap world to platinum-selling Def Jam artist Young Jeezy and ATL sensation Young Dro as well as keeping fans satisfied with exclusive pre-albums from Lil Wayne, Young Buck, Bun-B of UGK, Eightball & MJG and Project Pat with his Gangsta Grillz mixtape series, Drama has supplied stirring street soundtracks to every block, back alley and trap house like a pirate radio station on disc.

Born and raised between West Philadelphia and the city’s Germantown sections, Drama moved to Atlanta to attend Clark Atlanta University. A fan of DJ culture since seeing Omar Epps’ character DJ Gee Q on the big screen in classic hip hop film Juice, Drama first stepped behind the ones and twos after copping his very first mix tape- DJ S&S’s Old School Part 2 during a trip to New York City with his older sister as a kid. He found his calling and knew it.

Early on, Drama created a local buzz selling tapes in his high school and naturally brought his hustle with him when he relocated to Atlanta and began peddling mix tapes on campus. Offering a catalog that included reggae, instrumental and neo-soul mixes, his bread and butter came when he dropped his first southern-based tape Jim Crow Laws- his fastest-selling tape at the time.

DJ Drama has deejayed for T.I. and he still maintains close ties to the King of the South.
