During his promo run for Third Power, Vevo chops it up with the very talented DJ Drama on who has influenced him up to this point in his career and also the reasons behind why these guys helped make him the star he is today.
1. Funkmaster Flex
“When it comes to DJing and it comes to branding, he’s always someone I’ve admired from when I was young. His relevance in the game and what he was able to accomplish as a DJ is fascinating.
2. DJ Clue
“Clue is another one. You know, I was just really excited to be a mixtape DJ, [and] the popularity and the attraction to his status really pushed me to really pursue mixtapes as my calling. There’s a lot of ways of being a professional DJ, from parties to radio to mixtapes to producing and so forth, so i guess it was somebody like Clue who really inspired me to want to go in that direction.
3. T.I
“I guess one of the things that really inspired me was T.I. being locked up. For me to have had the success with the record while he was gone – keeping the momentum up – was inspiring.
