Besides holding it down for countless artists on the world famous Wake Up Show, Dj Revolution has been furthering the art of turntablism through his own records and contributions to a crazy amount of releases. He has always been an advocate of the DJ, providing lots of face time to the discussion of their role and the history of the form. His new album, King Of The Decks, is dropping September 16th. The first leaked single features KRS-One and is a reminder for you all of what a Dj is and what a DJ is not. Props to Noah and Will. Peace to Dj Revolution for taking the time.
