The Rap Life playlist is home to hip-hop’s heavy hitters and its vanguard, which means that the Rap Life DJ mix has everything in hip-hop you need to hear right now. This month, the mix was put together by turntablist extraordinaire DEEJAY T-JR., who made history recently for becoming the first woman to win three consecutive DMC DJ Championships. “Song selection, arrangement of tracks, creativity, transitions, turntablism and style were all important elements in creating this mix,” T-JR. says. “Each track was chosen not just for its sound, but for how it weaves into the theme of ‘hitting hard’. The mix flows in a way that maintains high energy while showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship behind it.” Spoken like a true mixmaster. The Rap Life DJ mix is the culture in action, so enjoy this set and check back each month for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
