Just Blaze

Legendary DJ/producer Just Blaze is famous for producing hits for JAY Z and other rappers but has evolved throughout the years and is stronger than ever. In the latest episode of Serato’s Icon Artist Series, Blaze reflects on his unusual beginnings as a DJ and shares insights that all DJs can learn from.

“I was the weird dude that would show up to the high school or college rave, playing rave records but scratching them like they were hip-hop records.”

“I don’t care if you use pots and pans, whatever you use, as long as the party rocks, that’s all that matters.”
