DJ Clark Kent Interview

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s God’s favorite DJ - Clark Kent! Last week, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with one of the most legendary figures in hip-hop, and if I’m being honest, this conversation was one of the coolest moments of my entire life. Since everyone is talking about Drake's newest project, peep his thoughts here 👇

For those who are not too familiar with Clark, he is a DJ and producer who rose to stardom in the 90s while working alongside all the greats. He was the one who introduced Jay-Z to Damon Dash, which eventually led to him producing Coming of Age, Cashmere Thoughts and Brooklyn’s Finest (with The Notorious B.I.G.) for Jay’s critically acclaimed debut album, Reasonable Doubt 🎧

He produced the first song Lil Kim ever appeared on, Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s Player’s Anthem, with the Notorious B.I.G. He produced Mariah Carey’s Loverboy, which ended up reaching #2 on the charts. And he also hosted Wale’s blog era classic Folarin. And on top of that, he’s also worked with Rakim, 50 Cent, Shaq, Slick Rick and many more. He has some thoughts on the best MCs 🎹

The two of us chopped it up for about an hour and he blessed me with so many incredible stories and so much knowledge. We talked about a plethora of topics: Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt sessions, the greatness of DJ Premier, working on Shaq’s album (which featured Kobe Bryant), Wale’s cultural impact, modern day classic albums and much more 💪

Hope you enjoy a few of these clips, I'll be posting more on TikTok all week. Stay tuned here 🔥
