You love to see it! XXL Magazine dropped their list of the "48 Greatest Hip-Hop DJ's Of All Time" Yesterday and on that list were legends like DJ Premiere, DJ Kool Herc + More. Also on that list were our own Power 105.1 family DJ Envy and DJ Clue!
DJ Envy:
"Being a mentee to an iconic figure in your craft can result immense pressure, however, DJ Envy has spent the past few decades carving out his own lane. Taken under the wing of DJ Clue, Envy grew into his own during the early aughts, with a succession of mixtapes setting the streets ablaze. Releasing The Desert Storm Mixtape: Blok Party, Vol. 1., in 2003, Envy has since released multiple compilations while navigating the club DJ circuit with sustained success. After a lengthy tenure on Hot 97, Envy is currently a host, alongside Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God, on Power 105's The Breakfast Club, a gig he's held down over the past decade. "
DJ Clue:
In hip-hop, when it comes to securing exclusive records and freestyles, DJ Clue is in a class of his own. During the mid 1990s, the Queens native sent the industry and the street into an uproar with his mixtapes, which included unauthorized, unreleased songs by rap's elite. He flipped his hustle into a career on radio, becoming the first DJ to release a platinum certified album with his 1998 release, The Professional. Throughout his career, Clue discovered and signed multiplatinum rap star Fabolous. DJ Clue's track record as a party rocker, talent scout and mixshow DJ is without blemish.
