Meet Your Hero: Dj Paradime

Po Politickin 
From the clubs to the streets, North Carolina’s resident do-it-all Dj, Dj Paradime has his hands in everything. Part of the Dj crew Juke Box Hero's, Paradime has made a name for himself as one of the few Dj’s who can spin records for a celebrity crowd, then put together a mixtape that makes you feel ike it was custom made for your ears only.Popolitickin.com caught with Dj Paradime to talk about We Are Your Heroes and what’s it like to spin for hip-hop’s first couple
Popolitickin.com: How did you get into Dj’ing
Dj Paradime: I’ve been into hip-hop since I was in middle school. I went to a really diverse middle school. Everybody would either break dance or do graffiti and I wasn’t good at either. When I moved to Greensboro I met a Dj who was really into house music and from there I got into wanting to spin records.
Popolitickin.com: Dj’s are placed in categories nowadays. Would you consider yourself a club Dj, mixtape Dj or both?
Dj Paradime: I’m versatile. I do the mixtapes and the podcasts. If it’s a mixtape it’s going to mixed! It wont just be a bunch of tracks. When it comes to clubs, you’d be hard pressed to find someone how can rock a hip-hop club in the hoodest of places then go a rock a top 40 club.
Popolitickin.com: What are the biggest differences you see between yourself and some of the new school Dj’s?
Dj Paradime:I grew up when people still collected records. You didn’t havea digital Serato. It was more quality of music than networking. Now its how many friends you have on facebook.
Popolitickin.com: I heard that when Jay-Z came through the Carolina's for the Blue Print 3 Tour, you had the chance to Dj his after-party. What was that like?
Dj Paradime: Yeah, I did the afterparty at Lotus Lounge. He came through with Beyonce and chilled out for a little while. It was big. It’s great to have on your resume but I still want the respect of my peers! Where I’m from, its still about the art. Its not rocking the biggest parties but having the skills.
Popolitickin.com: Dj’s are moving from just being Dj’s to being businesses in today's hip-hop. Do you see yourself taking on an artists of your own or dropping your own album in the near future?
Dj Paradime: I do have a producer who I’m working with named J-Mack. I’m helping him get his music into the right artists hands. He’s real talented. I’m also working with some emcees. I got a couple of mixtapes coming up. And my group the Juke Box Heroes are planning monthly events. But as far as putting out my own album, I don’t want to go that route.

Chaneblog: Balance
What's good everyone, this blog is going to be about balance. Many times I have been accused of wearing too many hats. Taking on too many responsibilities. So on my latest campaign, I decided to do things a bit differently. I will be recording myself as far as my mixtape is concerned. It was most likely be mixed by my producer Mannie the Don. Its going to be called THE KING OF NEW TALK. We will have youtube vid prmotion for it, in addition to the services of some web promoters marketing as well. Should be fun. I have an intern on the case as far as shows and I also enlisted a promoter who will make sure that people come out to see me perform as well. Have to use all the irons in the fire this time around. I also have a few start up internet businesses I'm involved in as well as a DVD release coming, with a different angle. Look for that as well. At some point we all must decide what we wanna do with our careers and how to make things happen as well. Its creating your destiny and securing a future for yourself and family if you have any. I myself have a fiance and a 2.5 year old, so you know business must get handled correctly. Also I'm trying to create a buzz around these records so the mixtape will have unsigned featured RNB singers and emcees as well. I will also be pulling a track or two for a lead and follow up single. The whole mixtape run will be titled ALL HAIL THE KING.Check me out:

Killah Priest (Pyramidwest Interview) Part 1
"I was like wow, you serious?" Nas was like, "Yeah Basic Instructions man...GZA killed that song." -Killah PriestIn part 1 of our 2 part interview with Killah Priest, the lyricist talks about meeting GZA & Old Dirty, his last chapter with the RZA, his travels in pursuit of knowledge, creating the acronym for his classic song, B.I.B.L.E (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth). Like most people, Nas thought GZA wrote and performed B.I.B.L.E. because it appeared on the the album, Liquid Swords. This is what prompted him to write the song, "Never Existed".
