DJ 3rd Degree’s
Fire Pick of the Week
March 1, 2021

What is good my Hip Hop friends!!?
We are back to bring you more hot music for your ears. I always love digging for new music and finding gems! Today I think I have a really nice record for you.

Hailing out of Fresno, CA, comes an emcee by the name of MC Wicks. Joining him on the hook is Dengee Kubiq, on the brand new single “Close My Eyes” (White Label). This track has such a nice vibe to it and Wicks and Dengee do it justice.
If you are a fan of some saxophone meshed with some nice keys and guitar over boom bap drums, then this song is for your ears. It feels like summer listening to this, and Wicks goes in perfectly over the beat. Dengee sounds really nice on the chorus and these two mesh nicely on this song.
I highly recommend this for your shows and mixes. You can hit us up if you need it.
I hope this new year brings you and yours joy, happiness, success and love.
Peace till next time!

Namaste!!
DJ 3rd Degree

West Coast Hip Hop pioneer Tairrie B dropped her new remix
for #NastyWoman produced by Grandmixer GMS!

FREE DOWNLOAD:
https://bit.ly/3rXS83C

This track is from her new album #Feminenergy released in 2020. GMS's turntable skills can also be heard on "Truth Bomb" & "Caution" (tracks 8 & 10).
Tairrie was kind enough to say these words about GMS:
“DJing is an art and Grandmixe GMS is a true artist. It's been my pleasure to feature his skills behind the turntables (second to none!) on my new album “Feminenergy.” Am also happy to share his talents as a producer on this re-imagined version of "Nasty Woman" which has a cool, old school flavor w/a modern twist. Love! this new remix and have huge respect for the man who made it.”
Please follow GMS on instagram:

and add his new remix to your TB related digital/vinyl Hip Hop collection.
Enjoy!”

THE ‘RAP ATTACK DJ CONF CALL’ TURNS 23 YEARS OLD!
By GrandMixer GMS

Legendary producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis joined Nasty Nes and all the Rap Attack DJ's
on Thursday’s Rap Attack conference call.

Jam & Lewis have earned more than 100 gold, platinum, multi-platinum and diamond albums for their work with celebrated artists. The list includes Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Yolanda Adams, Herb Alpert, New Edition, Human League, George Michael, Earth, Wind and Fire, TLC, Robert Palmer, Gwen Stefani and Kanye West!

They were two of the nicest, most humble, well-spoken and down to earth people I’ve ever met. They shared so many nuggets of priceless information as well as personal stories. Truly an honor to have been a part of this call.

Surprisingly, Jimmy Jam used to be a DJ. They both expressed true appreciation for DJ's because DJ's are instrumental (no pun intended) in introducing and playing their music to the world:
"If we make these songs and no one is there to deliver them to the people, then it's like we didn't make the song. So you guys are the most important people in our lives after we make the song. You guys are the ones who raise and nurture it — we've already done all the work, we've conceived it, but you're the ones who've raised it, put it in front of people [] you're the ones that are presenting it to them so you become the delivery service and to me, that is the most important thing." Jimmy Jam

Thanks to both Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for spending time with us Rap Attack DJ’s. Thanks to Nasty-Nes for all the hard work in putting together these conference calls. And heartfelt thanks for letting me be a part of this awesome team of DJ's throughout the Nation!
