OK I AM BACK ON IT!!! PLEASE PASS THE WORD.

After weeks of working a non stop schedule I decided as much as I loved the record store I had to let it go and chase my ultimate goal and that was to be on the radio. I said goodbye to Record Town and hello to the nightlife and I quickly found myself as the host of Exotic Tuesday’s and I was the DJ for Thursday,Friday and Saturday night. Club Ultimate on Tuesday night was a experience. We basically split the club into two parts with women on one side and men on the other and brought in some of the hottest female and male exotic entertainment from around Chicago. Most of the time if you did not get there by 11pm you could not get into the club. I can remember rapper’s, ball players, and singers in the club on a regular on that night from Luke to Arron Hall everybody knew that Tuesday night was out of control. I give the dancers credit back then because they really put on a good show and it did not have to be nasty or tasteless for you to enjoy it and for the most part everybody behaved themselves and the night went very smooth. Most of the time when I got off from the club at 2am I would go back to WJPC and record music for my weekend show it was there that a DJ named El Tranzel showed me how to edit calls and run a show with precision. In the weeks to come we became really good friends and he started he started to hang out with me at the club. One night when I was spinning at the club and I was just getting stupid on the box El Tranzel told the security guards ‘ He don’t get busy he gets DIZZY ‘ soooooooo soon after that the security guards started calling me DIZZY but often times the music was so loud you would here them yell out HEY DIZZ!! and that is how I became the DIZZ! Soon I was offered a shot to do overnight radio on WJPC from 12am to 6am on Wednesday and Thursday along with my Saturday midday show. A month later I was asked about doing a dance hall show on from 2pm to 6pm on Sunday afternoons and even though my Dance Hall knowledge was limited I decided to take the show and I found myself hanging out on the North side and different Dance Hall music stores (BELL JAM) to gain the knowledge I needed to give Chicago and good Sunday afternoon show. To this day I cant remember her name but I met a stunning Jamaican women when I was out record shopping that put me up on so much to this day I owe her for opening my ears to so many good artist. She lived in Harvey and we hung out for a quick minute before I just lost contact with her. So now I was on the air hosting to overnight shows and Saturday midday show a Sunday Dance Hall show and I was mixing live on air Friday night along with Dj ing four nights a week at club Ultimate. WHEWWWWW but I was not done I was asked how I felt about going in as a 50% partner in a Record Store. I loved my time at the record store but I just found myself to busy to be there 50 hours a week BUT to own a record store might not be so bad so I got my money together and invested in what would become THE RAP HOUSE 1709 E 87TH street in Chicago. It was great it was time House music and Rap music were exploding and with the store so close to CVS High School the store was always full of kids looking for hot music and because I worked on WJPC I had artist like BOSS,MC BREED,MC EIHT, and Salt and Peppa to come hang out at the store. I wish I had the energy today that I had back then because I don’t even know how I kept up that pace and by the weeks it only got more stressful. At 22 years old a business owner and a on air DJ had its perks but it also had its drama and it was the drama that caused me to lose a wonderful women and friend just because I was not ready and at the same time it introduced me to some of the wildest women and freaks I had ever met…..YEA I’M GOING TO TELL.
