Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

RIP DJ Roc Raida...World Champ

Another hip-hop leader has past away. D.J. Roc Raida was a DJ magician who was best known as founding member of the X-Men D.J. crew (later the X-Ecutioners) and holder of the DMC World Champion D.J. title (1995.)

For all us mixtape heads Unkut.com has brought together tribute mixes (by DJ Premier and DJ Eclipse) and RocktheDub.com has shared some of his mixtapes. Rather than just take, may be we should all contribute something to his his family. Tools of War shared a Paypal details (send donation to ladietye@yahoo.com.)

October 22nd Tribute show DJ A-Trak will be one of several DJs performing in celebration of Roc Raida at B. B. King’s Blues Bar & Grill in New York.
