Posted: 8/1/2008 10:22:40 AM by Qhatfield

This dude is definitely respected by all the hottest upcoming artist in the game. Having the ear for hot music and doing what he got to do to support DJ Furious Styles is out here grinding. DJ’s usually give themselves the title of “Street Corner A&R” and Furious Styles takes that name to a higher level. Already popular and building up a presence in the game with his gigs on XM radio this DJ is here to do his job, respectfully cosigning hip-hop’s next generation or better said tomorrow’s future.

Though hip-hop is his passion, all types of music are heard from his set of ears. Hip-hop, R&B, Rock, there is no discrimination in his case as music is music. So holla at this week’s Sixshot Spinner as he shows love to Chi-Town’s MarVo, why you should respect Soulja Boy, and his musical diversity.

Sixshot.com: I like your name, I’m not going to lie it’s kind of catch DJ Furious. Being a DJ what’s furious about your style?

DJ Furious Styles: Basically what’s furious about my style is everything man. From my promotions, work ethic, business. Everything is just nonstop, everything is furious, and everything is done crazy. It’s done hard and it’s 150 percent.

Sixshot.com: What made you want to be a DJ and willing to support the hot talent on the rise?

DJ Furious S tyles: Basically I bring my A-game, I represent hip-hop. I grew up break-dancing, doing the windmill, back spins, head spins, whatever. I’m hip-hop in it’s truest form. I can scratch, I can rock a party, and through my life experiences I just love music. I know hip-hop music, rock music, I’m well rounded in this game so that gives me an edge over a lot of DJ’s as far as recognizing talent. Whether it be rock, hip-hop talent, or whether it be R&B talent.

Sixshot.com: What’s your opinion on radio today, because a lot of people complain saying it’s not the same?

DJ Furious Styles: Regular radio is wack, it’s a bunch of politics. Regular radio is wack, I love Satellite radio and it’s a great format. It’s a good look and it’s gonna blow. It’s gonna blow independent and unsigned artist. It’s going to help major label artist that are kind of underground, it benefits everybody.

Sixshot.com: Talk about your movement being one of the hottest DJ’s with your own show on XM radio?

DJ Furious Styles:  Me and my partner DJ Dub was juts chilling and I was like “I want to be a A&R”. I work at XM full time in the marketing department, so I was always there. I was chatting up with Dub and he was like “Yo go holla at Leo G” that’s the program director. I’d hollered at him and you know he started fucking with your boy, we started building a relationship and next thing you know I’m there.

Sixshot.com: How you feel about the increasing Internet radio within the last 5-10 years and what it has done for the music business and upcoming artist?

DJ Furious Styles: I like it, but I would never say one radio is better than the other because at the end of the day it’s exposing someone or something. I hope that it gives artist their props that they deserve. I think it’s definitely beneficial to all artists.

Sixshot.com: DJ’s, ya’ll job is to find hot new artist, break new talent, and support it. What do you look for as far as giving somebody a shot when it comes to getting heard on your show?

DJ Furious Styles: Man I go through a 100 and some odd emails a day with mp3’s. You just gotta listen man and basically music is based on emotions. You can feel what’s good, it’s nothing hard to explain. You know what the real music is, those are automatic senses. If you can get that one that has dope beats, dope delivery, dope concepts, then you got something. Those are the things that I look for when I choose the joints that I choose.

Sixshot.com: There’s a artist I know that you support from Chicago named MarVo. What was it in his music that made you decide to support them when you first heard him?

DJ Furious Styles: Yo MarVo is no joke, he’s out in Chicago real, real hard. When I first heard MarVo it was like…. MarVo has great story-telling ability. If I can picture what your saying and see it like it’s a movie it’s crazy, because MarVo can do that. His taste for beats is crazy, his work is crazy, and he’s only 20 years old it’s ridiculous. I definitely support MarVo, it’s another dude of out Chicago his name is Bullet. Bullet is just crazy, he’s definitely crazy man.

Sixshot.com: Yea, they say Chicago right now is what New York used to be ten years ago.

DJ Furious Styles: I believe it! You can quote me on that one I believe it man. They got some dope beat-makers, dope rhyme spitters out there, Chicago is on the come up. Another cat is Dirty Den,  he’s on the rise too. All these dudes that’s now getting buzzes I always supported these dudes, I’m not one of those DJ’s that just hopped on the bandwagon. I was with them from day one, I been with these dudes.

Sixshot.com: That’s your job you have to support them!

DJ Furious Styles: Yeah, exactly!

Sixshot.com: So speaking on that talk about your upcoming projects that your working on that’s gonna be crazy?

DJ Furious Styles: Man my next project will be Shine ATL with DJ Scream and Soulja Boy. That’s right I said it, I said Soulja Boy. It’s going to be real crazy, Soulja Boy is letting it be known how he came up, how he got those rubberbands, and cats can’t mess with him. Don’t hate on my man Soulja Boy, that’s right. I got the new Shine R&B hosted by Pharrell and Rock City. I’m working with Microsoft, I can’t talk about it right now, but it’s about to go down.

Sixshot.com: You just mentioned Soulja Boy, how did that whole relationship build?

DJ Furious Styles: Soulja Boy, that kid is a talent man I’m tryna tell people. He hooked up with my man DJ Scream, you know Hood Rich is my extended family. The man DJ Scream hooked it up and Soulja Boy is just dropping jewels on cats. He’s 17 years old dropping jewels on people, business wise. Soulja Boy is dropping business gems at 17 years old.

Sixshot.com: We just interviewed Soulja Boy for Sixshot, he doing what he got to do.

DJ Furious Styles: It is what it is, you can’t hate on him.

Sixshot.com: But how you feel about the whole Ice-T situation from your perspective?

DJ Furious Styles: It is what it is, I think that Ice-T was probably misquoted, but misquoted or not this is a kid man. It makes no sense to say anything like that, my mom told me if you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all and that’s what I live by.
