03 DJ Kast One: From the Bronx to the Heavy Hitters

Some DJs chase the culture. DJ Kast One was born in it. This week the Heavy Hitters break down Kast One’s journey from growing up blocks away from where hip hop was born to finding his place beside DJ Enuff at Hot 97. From graffiti and backwards DJ setups to college radio, crate carrying, and Gleason’s nights in the Bronx, the crew tells the real story of how friendship, opportunity, and hip hop changed everything. Bronx roots. Hot 97 nights. Heavy Hitters history. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios.
