These R the Breakz

For the last episode of Season 1 (and after a short hiatus) we bring it back to Milwaukee, and chat with three of the baddest DJs around. Bizzon, NuStylez, and Swadetrackz form like Voltron into the DJ collective known as Treat Yo Selfs DJs. Hear their stories and learn why they are known way outside the 414 area code. 

We hop across the pond and chop it up with a UK legendary producer Configa, who's been down for decades! From his beginnings as an MC, to his seminal music studies that earned him a PHD, to producing for legends such as Chuck D., BDK, Masta Ace, Monie Love, and Arrested Development.... it all makes for a great story and journey!

A legend from the golden era of Hip Hop, Doodlebug aka Cee Knowledge, drops in and chops it up about his beginnings in Philly, forming Digable Planets, solo projects, and all things Hip Hop! This one you don’t want to miss! 

This time we bring it to the security side of Hip Hop, and talk to crowd mover Todd Jefferson. He chats with us about seeing the birth of Hip Hop in NYC, his time as a prison guard on Rikers Island, and his transition to running security for the likes of DJ Chuck Chillout and LL Cool J, among many other very famous artists. Another great view of Hip Hop from behind the scenes. 

Guest, Eric "E Global" Ridenhour, brother of Chuck D from Public Enemy, talks about growing up with Chuck, hip hop then and now, and stories galore. Eric has been on the road with PE since 1988. It's another don't miss.

We circle back to Milwaukee Hip Hop and chat with the Midwest Mixer DJ Doctor B. A pioneer of Milwaukee hip hop, Doc talks about his musical upbringing, his path in hip hop, and his long, illustrious DJ career. Doc's Footnotes- First, the comedian that gave me the white power crack was Patton Oswalt. An inspirational nod to Todd "Peechy" Thomas (aka) Speech of Arrested Development for inspiration during our turntable battles to step my creativity up. Also his Fresh Walking Family and VU Records. Last a shoutout and inspirational nod to the Original B-Boy Productions Crew (early to mid 80’s).... Fresh G, Tha DMT, Scratch Master D, Waxmaster TNT, & Regg UJ. 

This time we get to hear from New York graffiti legend Sen-1, who became famous in the 80s for his subway train work with the legendary IBM Crew. From growing up in Harlem, to bombing sets, to private art commissions, we get a front row seat to birth and growth of hip hop. 

From Wisconsin, to St. Louis, through ATL, and now worldwide, Trackstar the DJ tells all sorts of hip hop tales. Including his serendipitous rise from mixtape maker to becoming the DJ for Run the Jewels. 

Featuring MC, producer, beatbox, entrepreneur, and visionary Twan Mack.
