DJ Graffiti has become an icon in Michigan's Hiphop community by creating mixed compilations with an uncompromising level of quality. "My goal is to create projects that sound better, look more professional and reach farther than those currently available, he explains. Its not about competition, but I know that if my focus is always on bringing something improved to the table, I wont be taking steps backwards."
Aside from being a Mixtape, club and performing deejay, Graffiti has tried his hand at production, emceeing and journalism. Aside from life as a DJ, Graffiti is an alumnus of both the University of Michigan Business and Law School and has succesfully expanded his marketing conglomerate Rapture Enterprises LLC into the area of Entertainment Brokerage, and works regularly with corporations large and small, helping them structure their marketing efforts. "All of these companies want a piece of Hiphop. I think its time we decide which pieces they can have, and which they cant."
Ok while you wait for the new Scratch Masterpieces being cooked up on the upcoming 'The Terrific Scratch Painter @ Work' project. This Magnificent Scratch Painter will tickle you with some of his Chorus Lacings that he's constructed for MC's around the World.....
