The art of DJ’ing is far from dead. Thus far, the 2020s have provided a platform for DJ D-Nice to take Club Quarantine around the world. Meanwhile, DJ Cassidy has taken Pass The Mic to television and Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of President Joe Biden. Not to be forgotten, DJ sourMILK and Justin Credible continue to bring dope freestyles to the people and the legacy of the late DJ Kay Slay lives on forever. In the end, DJ Drama was able to do all that he needed to do and then some to take home “DJ of the Year” honors at the 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
DJ Drama has been building to this moment for some time now. Not only has he helped propel the careers of Jack Harlow and Lil’ Uzi Vert, but he also took center stage at the Dreamville Festival with Lil’ Wayne and Jeezy. With all of that going on, DJ Drama managed to lock in with Tyler, The Creator to deliver the Grammy-winning album, Call Me If You Get Lost. Since then, he’s gone on to record Gangsta Grillz projects with Symba and Dreamville. Now, he’s preparing to release his own project and lock in for a Gangsta Grillz mixtape with Snoop Dogg.
All of DJ Drama’s work was highlighted tonight in Atlanta, Georgia at the Cobb Energy Center. Check out his acceptance speech below.
