The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast

The Heavy Hitters took over Miami for a week, and Bun B called in from the road. Mr. Trill talks Trill Burgers in every city he ever played, the move from Merrick Studios to SAVAGE, and his history with Houston's OGs. Then the whole retreat lines up for a roll call. Say your name, say your city, get off camera. Six weeks, eight episodes, starting now. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by...

Bronx legend DJ Chubby Chub has done it all. Block parties, 125th Street mixtapes, tours with Kelis and 50 Cent, Boston radio, and three Twitch awards. He also went from 486 pounds to 235. He tells the Heavy Hitters how, plus the day his block told him "You local," the look 50 gave him on stage, and two hours of Boston radio with zero commercials. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted b...

Houston in the house. DJ Aggravated started in 1985 on belt drives in his dad's garage, cracked the mic at Magic 102 with 1.5 million people listening, and made slab tapes loud enough to rattle MacGregor Park. Plus record shopping next to DJ Premier, the name that almost was Aggravated Assault, and the night the Heavy Hitters brought him in like it was the mob. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is...

DJ Eddie One has worked every shift on LA radio except midday. Street promoter first, late-blooming DJ second, he flew home from Puerto Rico in 2005 with a bag of reggaeton CDs and built a lane nobody else on the West Coast had. Now he runs mornings on Mega 96.3, streams the whole show from a shipping container in his backyard, and DJs for LAFC. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff,...

DJ Ryan Wolf never planned to be a DJ. Church soundboard kid. Chopped and screwed hustler. Top salesman told he didn't look the part. He kept the beard, filled in for a friend one night, and ended up on Z107.9, in the ChopStars, and on the field as the first official DJ in Cleveland Browns history. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The s...

DJ Carlito wanted in for fourteen years and chased it for six. He covered overnights for $14 an hour, worked 23 days straight, and kept saying yes until La Mega 97.9 handed him afternoons. The fellas get the whole run, from carrying speakers in Bushwick to the promise he made at Remy Lounge. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produ...

Laura Stylez moved to New York with no family, three jobs, and one plan: get on the radio in the number one market. Twenty-seven years later she's a Heavy Hitter, a 12-year morning show voice, and independent with Ebro and Rosenberg. Camilo and L. Boogs get the whole run, from answering Monie Love's phones to telling Enuff she was booked more than his DJs. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is...

Coro King hid in a freezer so a Providence bar could keep its DJ. Then he built a streaming following that flies in to see him and books him for Thanksgiving.

The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produced and d...

DJ SpinKing was supposed to be a pediatric doctor. His grandfather practiced medicine in Guyana, SpinKing interned at Englewood Hospital for two years, then he crashed his brother Celeb's car at 16, got grounded, and found the CDJs in the basement. His parents did not approve. They told his brother Star that if SpinKing failed, it was on him. He sits with DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One and...

Jessy and Uly Terrero built a two-decade run out of closed doors. Juice, 25 videos with 50 Cent, Rompe, Un Beso, Soul Plane, Nicky Jam: El Ganador. It starts with a lie about lost car keys and an 8 1/2 hour drive to Canada on caffeine pills. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produced and distributed by SAVAGE. Catch all our episod...

DJ Sharad walked into his first meeting with DJ Enuff holding a 12-page PowerPoint. Graphs. Charts. His wife made him do it. Enuff spent the next few years quietly terrified of him. This week the Heavy Hitters get the whole story, plus the $10,000 studio design a rapper took and had AI rebuild. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is pr...

The fantastic trio. Kast One, Enuff and Camilo hold it down while L. Boogs defends his title as the greatest ghost in the game. Enuff watched Fuerza Regida turn Citi Field into a hip hop show, 50 Cent and Bobby Shmurda included. Camilo unplugged in Aruba, climbed 740 steps in Guatapé, and came home to run earthquake relief for Colombia. Kast One jumped into Antarctic water in swim trunks, because...

Before Miami, before Cash Money, DJ E Feezy was a summer-school kid who talked his way into a BET internship and straight up stole the Heavy Hitter drop. He pulls up with DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs to trace the whole run: the checklist that earned his co-sign, the Louisville night he dodged a bullet, and the leap from the booth to A&R. Blame Enuff. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podc...

The-Dream pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast, and he came to talk his craft. The hit maker behind "Umbrella," a catalog of Beyoncé records, and Love Hate 2 breaks down why he's not afraid of AI, the eight-year-old DJ story that ended his career on his mom's Salt-N-Pepa record, and how you build a legacy brick by brick. Longtime music exec Yvette "Evie" Dávila jo...

DJ Yonny has had about five careers. Power 105 and La Calle at the same time. Dance radio with Star and Buc Wild. Top 40, TV, international. Then he walked away from all of it to produce in LA, met Poo Bear by accident, and built a Latin party in Hollywood nobody thought would work. Now he's in Colombia making records with Afro Latin artists and coaching DJs on how to do the same thing. He si...

Hollyhood Bay Bay pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast, and Part 1 is all origin story. From private school and the marching band press box in Shreveport to the radio booth, the club, and the night "A Bay Bay" was born, he breaks down how one man learned to move a whole room without ever raising his voice. High energy, real talk, and the roots of an entertainer the South already knew.  Subscri...

DJ Bonics has run with Wiz Khalifa as his tour DJ for over 15 years. He came up in Philly, learned the craft in Pittsburgh, and walked away from a full-time radio job to bet on the road. He sits with DJ Kast One, DJ Enuff, and DJ Camilo to talk about sharing the stage without losing yourself, doing your homework in rooms from Shanghai to Hamburg, and lasting in a young man's game. Community over e...

The King taps in. T.I. joins the Heavy Hitter DJs to talk Kill the King, the final album he named back in 2001, and why the title is really about killing the ego, not closing the door. He gets into 25 years in the game, American Gangster and Denzel, working with Chris Robinson and Hype Williams, raising Damani and King, the Pharrell sessions, and an NBA Youngboy mentorship that turned into a recor...

DJ Wallah pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs podcast. The Newark native built his own lane before anyone handed him one, throwing his own parties as a teenager when the top DJs had every booking locked up.

He gets into the 90s New York scene when reggae and hip hop ran hand in hand, the philosophy that keeps him reinventing himself across fo...

Rene McLean, aka RPM, is one of the architects most people never hear about. He put DJ Enuff on, broke records at Virgin, RCA and Electra, started rapping the vans before anyone else, and built the Mix Show Power Summit into the industry monster Jay-Z name dropped years later. He also ran the two room office on 38th Street where the Heavy Hitters, the record pool, the magazine and Dipset mixtapes...

Pure vibes from start to finish. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podca...

DJ Steph Cakes, Power 105.1's Late Night Snack and the first female DJ repping Yonkers on a major NYC station, pulls up to The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast. Steph sits with L.

Some DJs chase the culture. DJ Kast One was born in it. This week the Heavy Hitters break down Kast One’s journey from growing up blocks away from where hip hop was born to finding his place beside DJ Enuff at Hot 97. From graffiti and backwards DJ setups to college radio, crate carrying, and Gleason’s nights in the Bronx, the crew tells the real story of how friendship, opportunity, and hip hop c...
