DJ Semtex | The Man Who Broke Kanye & Drake In The UK Before Anyone Cared

He broke Kanye West in the UK before College Dropout dropped. He filmed Drake's first ever UK interview in Hyde Park — paid the cameraman £50 out of his own pocket because the station didn't care. He flew to New York to sign Fatman Scoop and got aired for a week until a 4am diner meeting sealed the deal. Ghostface Killah called his book the Bible of hip hop. Chuck D wrote the foreword in five minutes.And before any of that, he was an 8-year-old kid in North Manchester who discovered what the N-word meant because there was a game in the playground called "Catch The N****r."
