   About John Doe / 1200 Hobos
John Doe met Mr. Dibbs and DJ Skip of Cincinnati’s 1200 Hobos DJ crew sometime in 1995. He began DJing with them on 88.3 WAIF-FM Cincinnati and entered the battle circuit in 1999: DMC, Guitar Center, and various local DJ battles. After the 1999 Cincinnati DMC regional heat, he started working on mixtapes which he felt were stylistically indicative of his battle routines: smooth transitions, composed scratching and turntable wordplay. His mixtapes are a testament to classic hip hop and the skills associated with being a DJ. Using turntables, a mixer and a multitracker, crates upon crates of classic hip hop records, head-nodding beats, dusty samples, fractured verses, well-composed scratches, movie sound bytes and a disturbingly linear sense of thought, John Doe takes the listener on a road seldom traveled by the multitude. Songs are blended in and out within a minute. Familiar verses are chopped up battle style. Hooks are re-created from scratch (literally), and some are simply just created. All the while the beats seamlessly gel together as the backbone of an intricately arranged cohesive sonic collage. As the majority of today’s mixtape DJs try to outdo each other with exclusive material instead of skills, John Doe takes the essence of the mixtape to an unbelievably insane extreme. For bookings or additional info please e-mail John at johndoe1200hobos (at) yahoo.com.

Jon makes Doe, but don't call him Doe boy. What up Mr. Doe? I must be gettin old, because I am disgusted with the state of most music right now. I hardly ever find something to get hyped up over. But after hearing your 2 mixes, I was bouncin and bobbin around like a kid. Ilove the way you cut up a few verses, then switch it up, scratch a few more.I love hearing verses gettin scratched the phukk up. That sh*t is right up my alley. Whatever happened to mcs having the dj scratching the chorus in a rap song? Sh*t was way tighter when they did that. I will definitely be checkin out your new one. Just call me a fan of the man John Dizoe. Keep it up homie.

you're right, people used the word "truth" very loosely these days.

what I was trying to say was that your newest piece of music is a
brilliant social commentary via turntable; a concept tried by few, yet dwarfed
by your efforts. Nice work.. lol
