History of the Bay: DJ.Fresh

Known for his unmistakable producer tag and signature style of beats, DJ.Fresh has been a staple of the Bay Area hip-hop scene for decades. Growing up in Baltimore, Fresh learned the foundations of DJing before moving to the Bay. While he was still a teenager, he entered and won several DJ competitions for the ITF and DMC.

Since then, Fresh has produced for Don Toliver, Tech N9ne, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Larry June, E-40, Murs, Trae the Truth, Freddie Gibbs, the Jacka, Mozzy, J. Stalin and countless others. Recently, he went viral for his "Refreshed" remix series where he put a new twist on classics by artists like LL Cool J and RBL Posse. Fresh is currently working on his major label debut via BMG, "The Tonite Show" compilation.
