"CA all day!" Great interview! Melo D is definitely one of the most versatile members of the Beat Junkies crew! He has mad skillz as a battle DJ and as a mix DJ. He is also a humble dude... Mad Respect!

[@carloslossa8043]

Great episode about the old school LA/So Cal DJ scene!! How about an episode about the old San Francisco/Bay Area mobile DJ scene?

1:06:20 LL Cool J Came out onstage wearing all red gang attire instigating shit and with in seconds shit went crazy! Lasted about 15 minutes. Imagine 17K people all trying to leave, looked like anarchy. Most of us just stayed put and watched the melee unfold. The trouble makers basically all leave after the fighting stops so theres about 15K people left waiting for news, half hour later the cops show up on the stage flexing in riot gear and they received the loudest "boo" ever cuz waited for all the gangbangers to leave the venue before coming inside to flex their synchronized riot defensive stance 😂
