MIXTAPE MONDAYS: DJ Boogie Blind

This week's entry for "Mixtape Mondays" is a double disc CD called "The Definitive D.I.T.C." by my boy DJ Boogie Blind from The X-Ecutioners. D.I.T.C. aka Diggin' In The Crates is a NYC based hip-hop crew of established rappers and producers. The group consisted of Lord Finese, Showbiz, AG, Diamond D, Fat Joe, OC, Buckwild & Big L (RIP). My boy Boogie Blind compiled a sick collection of songs from an their expansive catalogue of music and put together a great 2 disc Mix CD. I met Boogie Blind back when I was living uptown in NY, making beats and rapping (thats a whole other story right there) with a crew of cats from Harlem called "Lyrics To Go" (big shout to Tamir, J-Ones, The Original UTR, Third Pound and my boy Waheed aka Tony, lol). We ended up doing shows and performing at City Colleges and Boogie Blind would DJ for me and hype the crowd. What's crazy is Blind was one of the sickest DJ's I've met but he never owned a turntable or a mixer. He'd come by my crib and scratch for hours until I finally convinced the man to cop his own set. Blind started to focus on spinning more after that and not even a year later, he won the Vestax DJ Competition. INCREDIBLE!!! Anyhow, many thanks to man Boogie Blind for this week's entry. I'll see you in NY Boogie...Crooked signing out.
