Former DJ for Lauren Hill (seen him on Saturday Night Live) and 1991 NMS/Superman battle champ).

He DJs for A-Alikes and has worked with The Crash Crew and many others.  You can find him at http://www.myspace.com/djgrandmastersupreme.




Special congratulations goes to DMC WORLD battle organizer Sally McClintock and fam for organizing this - the 25th Anniv. of DMC - with a star studded line up of turntablists performing and battling!!!! See you in NYC later this week Sally!!!!
