11 DJ Bonics: Sharing the Stage

DJ Bonics has run with Wiz Khalifa as his tour DJ for over 15 years. He came up in Philly, learned the craft in Pittsburgh, and walked away from a full-time radio job to bet on the road. He sits with DJ Kast One, DJ Enuff, and DJ Camilo to talk about sharing the stage without losing yourself, doing your homework in rooms from Shanghai to Hamburg, and lasting in a young man's game. Community over ego. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios.

10 T.I.: Kill the King

The King taps in. T.I. joins the Heavy Hitter DJs to talk Kill the King, the final album he named back in 2001, and why the title is really about killing the ego, not closing the door. He gets into 25 years in the game, American Gangster and Denzel, working with Chris Robinson and Hype Williams, raising Damani and King, the Pharrell sessions, and an NBA Youngboy mentorship that turned into a record. Then Enuff, Camilo, Kast One, and L. Boogs break down a united New York: the Knicks, the parade, and World Cup summer. Kill the King drops June 26.

09 DJ Wallah: The Sixth Borough

DJ Wallah pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs podcast. The Newark native built his own lane before anyone handed him one, throwing his own parties as a teenager when the top DJs had every booking locked up. He breaks down how Jersey club broke out of Brick City and went on to shape some of the biggest records in the country, the 20,000 flyers a month that put him on Raymo and Lonnie B's radar, and the co-sign from Mr. C and DJ Enuff that made him a Heavy Hitter. He gets into his first nervous night on Hot 97, becoming the official DJ for the New York Giants, the Branson lives that pulled in 50 Cent, his ties to Naughty by Nature, and why every DJ coming out of Jersey still has to talk to the guy with the W. DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs sit down with the man who put Jersey on his back. Catch Wallah and Friends at NJPAC on June 26.

07 Rene McLean: The Business of Music vs The Music Business

Rene McLean, aka RPM, is one of the architects most people never hear about. He put DJ Enuff on, broke records at Virgin, RCA and Electra, started rapping the vans before anyone else, and built the Mix Show Power Summit into the industry monster Jay-Z name dropped years later. He also ran the two room office on 38th Street where the Heavy Hitters, the record pool, the magazine and Dipset mixtapes all happened at once. This week he sits with L. Boogs, DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, and DJ Kast One to walk the whole run, from a $30 a week internship to buying catalogs with BlackRock. Tap in.
