Okay, so you’re a DJ. Well, what kind of DJ are you? Are you a club DJ who works gigs seven nights a week? Are you a tour DJ who backs an artist as they make their way from city to city? Are you a mixtape DJ who collects fresh new music and churns out product for the streets? Or maybe, just maybe, you are a disc jockey in its original form, working breaks and spinning records at a radio station.
Though it is rare to find a DJ who actually works all of the above angles, the Evil Genius, otherwise known as DJ Green Lantern, happily and impressively checks off each and every box. Currently finishing up work with Nas on the remaining Rock The Bells tour dates, the New York native will continue working with Mr. Escobar on his forthcoming fall tour, the Jones Music Experience.
As if that wasn’t enough, other endeavors include the recently-wrapped soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto IV, a forthcoming Pro-Obama mixtape with Russell Simmons, hosting duties on his Sirius Satiliete radio show, and the executive production of rapper Uncle Murda’s Def Jam debut.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s DJ “Z,” Green Lantern steps inside the booth to talk about touring with Nas and Jay-Z, the significance behind being asked to produce the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto IV, why taking pictures with artists is frowned upon, and what five records he wouldn’t mind spinning for the rest of his life.
CLICK HERE TO READ/LISTEN/DOWLOAD THE INTERVIEW!!!
'Z' links up with one of the biggest DJ's to ever hit up the 1's and 2's on this one! Once again 'Z' delivers a hot interview, good job man. The key to good interviews I think is making a good balance of entertainment and information, 'Z' makes doing that look easy, hopefully I can make that ish happen in my interviews lol.
