DJ Mellow D
I grew up in the Bronx,NY. I went to Cardinal Spellman High school. After graduation I went down to Virginia for a year. Now I'm over here in Chicago. The hip-hop scene is a little different over here. There are a lot of people you can really talk to about hip hop but for the most part a lot of people are into whatever new garbage is at the top of the billboards whether they deserve to be there or not. There is some good independent (underground) hip hop around chicago. But it's not the same. There isn't the depth that you can feel in the hip hop culture in ny. I also think chicago hip hop artists have a chip on their shoulder because hip hop migrated here and didnt originate here. You always hear "i'm real proud of -whoever-, they're putting chicago hip hop on the map." On that note, I am feeling Common and have been feeling common since i was in ny. I also liked da Brat back in the day and I like Kanye now (if you didnt know, he moved to ny a while ago). I also like Juice too. It seems he's been underground forever and is probably gonna stay there.
What equipment do you use?
Right now all I'm using is FLStudio and another program to mix and another one to record.
