POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I shared a part of my story with @rollingout that I don’t talk about often.

A season where I lost myself…
chasing things that were never meant to define me.

I had to step away from everything… and rebuild from the ground up.

If you’ve ever felt like you lost your way for a season… this is for you.

God’s purpose doesn’t disappear when you fail.
It waits for you to realign.

DJing @yesugod’s Gospel Skate Tour got me thinking…

What would a Gospel skate mix sound like if it blended Christian Hip-Hop, R&B, Gospel, and JB Skate culture? 🛼🔥

This @kierrasheard blend is part of the answer. 👀

And honestly… this isn’t even the craziest mashup in Gospel Skate Sessions Vol. 1. 😮‍💨🔥

Comment 𝐒𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐄 and I’ll send you the link!

Wait.. @anike x 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟑?! 👀🎶

I had to cook up something 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐙𝐘 for this mashup! Anike’s 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒚 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒆 meets this legendary 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 anthem.. and the vibes are straight outta Wakanda! 🔥⚡️

Should 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗹 get Anike on the 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝟯 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸? 👑🤔 We already know 𝙎𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙞 herself rocks with CHH.. Drop your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️ by @andrearkade

This 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘅 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝗻 “𝗔𝗶𝗻’𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆” blend caught people off guard… but what happened next was 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿! 😅

I made it through to 𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝟯 of the 𝗧𝗠𝗧 𝘅 𝗞𝗣𝗢 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 (sponsored by Rane) — but not without a little controversy. 👀
Some viewers pointed out that my 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 — since technically anyone could be under there (fair point 😅).

So today… 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳. 😶‍🌫️
Will revealing my face change how people respond.. or make the performance hit even harder? Let’s find out together 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲.

I brought FAITH into a DJ battle… 👀✝️🎧

Not as a gimmick.
Not for shock value.
But because it’s who I am.

In Round 1 of the @tweakmusictips x KPO Genre Blend Battle, the judges @dj360 & @djksly didn’t just critique the mix… they highlighted how my faith was woven into it. 🫶🏾

Technical skill gets you in the room.
Authenticity separates you.

You don’t have to dilute who you are to compete at a high level.

Bring your whole identity into the craft.

Watch their full reaction 👆🏾

🎥 Full Round 1 set + a SNEAK PEEK of my Round 2 set is live on my YouTube (link in bio).

🔴 Round 2 airs LIVE Wednesday, Feb 18 at 12PM CST on Twitch.tv/TweakMusicTips

OLD HABITS DIE HARD. 😂🕺🏾🎧

This was Round 1 of the @TweakMusicTips Genre Blend Battle (Season 5) featuring some of the best DJs from around the world 🌍
I couldn’t just stand there and mix… I wanted to bring ENTERTAINMENT to the battle.

Somewhere between Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”, Bruno Mars’ “Finesse”, and Will Smith’s “Men In Black”, muscle memory kicked in 😅
Once a dancer, always a dancer I guess lol

Season 6 sponsored by @alphathetaglobal starts THIS WEDNESDAY! 👀🔥
👇🏾 Should DJ battles have more moments like this?
