Chapter 2: How did D-Nice's journey in hip-hop begin?
There's been things online and a couple of videos popping up where people are saying the actual first hip hop party was in Brooklyn. Like somebody has a flyer where it predates the Kool Herc party in the Bronx. It's like a party that was in Brooklyn. Before Kool Herc and they had it on C to Ave in the park. Where do you stand on that?
Like, where do you feel like because you obviously you were there to see it become what it is today.
Where did it start as far as you're concerned? Well, I'm not that old to see the inception.
of hip-hop the very beginnings but you know just from my understanding and I also grew up near Cedric Avenue near where he threw that party that's like maybe like 10 streets away from where I grew up so I'm always going to lean to the Bronx to be honest with you nothing else matters even if the history is false it's still no no I believe that too but it is kind of interesting
To hear those things like, you know, because that's part of the history, too. Like if there was a party before the party that Herc did, it's like, OK, we need to know about that. What was that like?
What did it sound like? I mean, I've actually never heard that. But now I'm kind of interested in like kind of going back and like doing some research because there were DJs that I heard about. By the way, I'm not like I wasn't deep into hip hop at all. At that point, I was just deep into the hip hop because I was I was young, you know, 13, 14.
I'm chasing girls, you know, I was a kid, you know, when I got down with the group. But but I did start learning more about Grandmaster Flowers and all these other people who were from other boroughs. But just to to from what my understanding is that it was it was it all those parties started in the Bronx with Herc. Yeah.
what were some of those early sessions like with scott and kara especially you being younger and lying that you even knew how to rap yeah those young sessions i mean two things it could be young sessions in terms of studio or young sessions in terms of like the shows we were doing studio wise it was just i was fascinated by it you know like we did
we produced um well i didn't produce it i watched scott produce um um our first single south bronx we were like in queens at someone's house like on the 16 track i knew it you know it was queens yeah yeah we were out there like yeah um and that was just that was interesting to me because i had never been in the studio i'd never like that wasn't my life you know i kind of walked into this um and and um

Talk about, because you sold out some of the most iconic rooms, DJing, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center. What is that like as a DJ, a guy from the Bronx that grew up in this culture to where you are today? What is it like to be in those rooms where, honestly, our culture, hip hop, is really not... maybe accepted in those rooms all the time.
Nobody has really ever had a hip-hop concert at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.
So what is it like for D-Nice to be in these rooms bringing hip-hop culture? Yeah, I always think about that kid from the Bronx. I never imagined selling out the Hollywood Bowl as a DJ, even before I even mentioned anyone that's going to be a special guest. Sold that place out in four days. You know, Carnegie Hall, sold out Carnegie Hall twice.
I played it, I played it three times, twice just as my show. And then once I played, it was sold out, but I was a part of like Jerry Seinfeld and like, and Kevin Hart. Like it was a whole collective and that was great. But like to be able to, to play like these iconic stages and, In in in from hip hop, but also respecting those stages. Absolutely.
So like I sold out like Kennedy Center Opera House, like I just sold it out in January. But like that was like my third sellout, you know, where I rock with an orchestra, you know, so it's not like my thing was like if they're going to let me on these stages, I got to bring something different.

Chapter 7: How did Club Quarantine impact the music community during the pandemic?
You know, you know, I don't I don't want to just be a DJ up there and just take all of the money. I want to invest back into my show and to do something different with it. So, you know, I remember I called too short up and I was like, bro, I'm playing. No, this is the one. I called Jada Kiss. Hit Jada up because it was too short. It was the Kennedy Center. Jada was Carnegie Hall.
And I was like, yo, I'm playing Carnegie. He was the first person that I hit up. And it wasn't based on like knock yourself out or anything. It was all based on we going to make it. Because when I stood on that stage, like when we did the deal and I did a venue walkthrough, I was standing on that stage at Carnegie Hall and I was like, yo, I made it. I'm going to bring hip hop like this to this.
But I want everybody to be fly. Like they had hip hop there before. Jay played it. Nas played it. MC Lyte was the first person to play it as a part of a collective. Mm-hmm.
but like it had only been Jay and Nod like for a full show I was like but it was no DJs like hip hop DJs none of that I was like yo I need Jay to kiss because of those strings and I was like I'm gonna bring the orchestra and the woman from Cardi was like wait you're really gonna use an orchestra I was like yeah absolutely like full strings everything while I'm DJing track is gonna still be playing but I'm just gonna add the energy to it and I told Jay to that he was like I don't know about this man he's like
The day he came to rehearsal and we were all sitting there talking. I was like, all right, yo, let's go. And I started playing a record and the strings came in. Yo, he was like, yo. Another level. I never heard my music like this before. This is crazy. Yeah. I was like, yeah, but we all got to wear tuxedos. He brought Styles P out with him.
Jada had his tux on, but Styles had his tuxedo made out of like... track where it was flying over he had a drawstring he's like yeah I had to have this made you know I'm about that life you know I gotta be I'm hip hop Styles is himself at every moment that's why you gotta love Styles it's great to be able to like
Not just as D-Nice, but to be able to be someone to bring people who have never played some of those stages. And deserve to. That deserve that stage. Yeah. In their own way. Come on, bro. I had to ask too short, you know, to do. I'm like, bro, I need you to do Blow the Whistle with me with orchestras. I don't know how that's going to sound. That sounds crazy.
You're like, all right, sell it to me, D-Nice, because I'm with you, but I can't see it. Bro. Yo, it was crazy. It was like. He was like, I just want to sit in the crowd before because I had him going on last. Man, by the time he watched the whole show, EPMD, I had everybody on this joint. Hip-hop, I had Diggable Planets, everybody with the orchestra, with me DJing.
Man, short was like, I had never seen anything like this. This is crazy. So to be able to bring our icons in hip hop on, on, on to, cause I know, listen, I'm hip hop, but I also know that I'm more popular culture these days. Yeah. And I respect that. Yeah. But I love my hip hop culture as well as, as like the producer side. So to me, it's important to,
