Getting industry news through Warren’s connections as a radio DJ, and he was also getting advance music, so we were debuting Biggie‘s ‘Hypnotize’ to the entire internet. We were like, ‘Let’s do daily updates.’ We were doing the Real Audio streams – because that was the only way to do it.

There was a kid who had an advance of De La Soul‘s Stakes Is High album, and another kid who had the Wu-Tang Clan demo tape, and another kid who had the Gravediggaz demo tape.

It opened up a whole new – because of the show, I was hearing all this music that was promo-only. He was a freshman in college at the time and I was a kid in junior high, and he would be playing the b-side of the remix of the new Big Daddy Kane single that wasn’t out yet. It was on KUNV at UNLV and this guy Warren Peace was the host. Then I found this college show, when I was in eighth grade, called Word Up.

Ironically, the very same lawlessness that had helped the independent rap scene flourish during this period would ultimately become it’s very undoing. He explained how the wild west that was the early internet allowed their new business to thrive and help introduce the world to a range of underground groups, as well as their involvement with classic remix projects such as The Grey Album and God’s Stepson.
Furthermore, in August, Slim Shady and Paul Rosenberg joined a slew of venture funds that injected $30 million into the NFT market Makersplace.I did some work with DJ Pizzo this year over at Cuepoint, but previous to that I’d been a loyal customer of the main mail-order hip-hop stores, one of which was HipHopSite, which was founded by Pizzo and Warren Peace in 1996.
