It’s The Jam! Episode 6

Here we are again with The Jam!  This episode features special guest DJ A-Ski.
I first met A-Ski way back in the day at a spot in Hollywood called The Room. It was one of the few places I knew I could count on for dope music in LA in my younger days. A-Ski is a talented DJ and loves all styles of music from Hip Hop to House. He shares with us how he first fell in love with DJing and some great perspectives as a person who has interned at record labels, spun on the radio, and kills it at the parties. He has a clear understanding of what really makes people move.
Other topics include: Lil Boosie, Sugafree, pimps, Drake, House music, Audobon Middle School, ratchets, and boobs.

Movers & Shakers: Catching Up With DJ A-Ski

We’ve developed a few friendships over the years here at Black Is, and one of our closest compadres is the infamous LA native, DJ A-Ski. A-Ski was one of the first people in the city we connected with way back in 2007, and at that time both of us were at the beginning of building our brands. Since then, A-Ski’s brand Unique74 has grown in leaps and bounds with connections nationwide and worldwide. Listen in as KC catches up with A-Ski and finds out what he’s been up to, his take on current Los Angeles DJ culture, and where he’s going next.

*Forgive our background noise – coming to you live from the city of Angels!
