Hey Mr. DJ! is a monthly article featuring tracks that bang, curated by Madison-based DJ Chris Fox, AKA Jean Le Duke. An active DJ playing out for the past 15+ years, JLD has had the chance to take his love of tunes across the country while opening for both national and international acts.

Benzz – Je’ M’appelle

I truly knew nothing of Benzz and I may never like another joint. That being said, the original of this track caught my ear for using such a classic house tune and turning it into a drill banger. Repetitive w a short run time but if the bass and sample don’t get ya, you might be dead.

Tobe Nwigwe – Round here Pt 1 & 2

When I believe in artists and really fuck w them I leave the tune do the talking. 

Enjoy.

Lupe Fiasco – Drill Music In Zion

Chicagos woke-ass uncle is BACK! 

Many ONLY know Lupe for “Kick Push” or whatever poppy song he did w that human from Paramore. Many never looked at the absolute lyrical genius the MC has blessed the entire world with. Heavily overlooked in the past ten+ years due to ZERO studio albums (till now) but always popping up when needed and SMASHING other MCs beats. 

Sit back and let the story unfold.
