http://www.NGTV.comDJ Kayslay,
aka 'The Drama King', is one
of the most respected mixtape
DJ's in hip-hop today. Now,
along with southern staple DJ
Greg Street, Kay Slay is back
with, The Champions -- North
Meets South. The album
combines some of the best
hip-hop talent from the East
Coast and Southern regions,
including: Bun B, Yung Joc,
Chamillionaire, Busta Rhymes,
Three-6-Mafia, B.G., Mike
Jones, Cam'ron, Juelz Santana,
Lil' Jon, Lil Scrappy,
Ghostface Killah, Twista, Jim
Jones, Fat Joe, Lloyd Banks,
Cassidy, Remy Ma, Papoose and
many, many more! The first
single, 'Can't Stop The
Reign', is a remake of the
classic joint 'You Can't Stop
The Reign' by Shaquille O'Neal
and the late, great Notorious
B.I.G. This banger features
Southern heavyweight Bun B,
New York's own Papoose, and
basketball legend Shaquille
O'Neal aka Shaq Diezel. The
remix will also be on the
album and it features Busta
Rhymes, Remy Ma, Papoose and
Shaq Diezel himself. DJ
Kayslay rose to the top of his
field by refereeing some of
the most talked-about MC
battles of the early 2000s,
most notably Jay-Z versus Nas
and 50 Cent versus Ja Rule, on
his Streetsweeper mixtape
series and later on his Hot 97
radio show, The Drama Hour.
Born Keith Grayson, the gully
loudmouth grew up with his
grandparents in Harlem's East
River Houses, where at an
early age he befriended
Alberto Martinez, who would
later become the legendary
drug dealer Alpo. Such company
meant that Kayslay knew the
meaning of gangsta at a young
age, but he initially drifted
toward good old-fashioned
hip-hop culture, particularly
DJing and grafitti writing. As
Dezzy Dez, his tag name at the
time, Kayslay made quite a
name for himself throughout
New York during the late '70s
and early '80s. Music, for
Kayslay, has always been a
hustle. For years he worked at
random jobs, trying to make
enough money to fund his own
studio in Harlem so that he
could fulfill his dreams of
being a big-time DJ. He slowly
realized his dreams, and by
the early 2000s, he was indeed
one of New York's big-time
DJs, churning out mixtapes
that featured many of the
city's top rappers. His big
break came during the advent
of high-stakes beefing sparked
by the unprecedented furor
surrounding Jay-Z's ongoing
bout with Nas. It was Kayslay
who first spun 'Ether,' and
from that point on, he became
the DJ who rappers would go to
with their latest battle raps,
another huge debut of his
being the Ja Rule-bashing
Eminem, 50 Cent, and Busta
Rhymes remake of 'Hail Mary'
that the three would later
encore at Summer Jam 2003. His
Streetsweeper mixtapes, which
were trademarked by his
signature loudmouth
voiceovers, were consequently
hot commodities during this
era, and Columbia Records took
the initiative to sign him and
finance a major-label version
of the Streetsweeper series.
Meanwhile, Kayslay hosted a
popular radio show on Hot 97,
The Drama Hour, where he would
regularly debut the latest
battle-rap exclusives. The
Champions -- North Meets South
is in stores
