1st off: Most of the beats in the music section are just old beats put there for no aparrent reason and do NOT reflect the majority of the beats created by DEADLY MIX PRODUCTIONS. To hear a more professional beat listen to ROMEssiah's music and get a better idea of the quality of beats. ..............Deadly Mix Productions was founded by dj King Joe. King Joe was a DMC competition turntablist, versatile producer, unbelievable studio engineer, and talented mixtape dj.
After King Joe's death in 2005, Deadly Mix Productions lives on under the management of Tony Rome aka ROMEssiah.
The goal is to keep King Joe's dream of D.M.P. bringing new music to the world alive.

Band History:
Deadly Mix Productions was founded by locally regarded turntablist- King Joe. During his life, King Joe was a DMC competitor turntablist and soon turned to making beats and recording his friends on a cheap 4-track recorder. Time brought his producing skill to another level while, at the same time, advancing in the studio quality as well. He trained his protege, Tony Rome aka ROMEssiah, in the arts of hip-hop production and amassed a vast collection of versatile instrumentals before passing away in November of 2005. As King Joe's protege, Rome stepped forward to carry on the Deadly Mix name and continue producing with the knowledge handed him by the late king of the turntables.
