DJ 456 isn’t just a hip hop head, he’s a hip hop specialist. If you require a professional to rock a set, back an artist, compile a mixtape, host a radio show, splice up a hook, or simply lace your tracks with cuts and scratches, there’s absolutely no one better. The UK’s own DJ 456, of First Son Records, has been honing his skills in the more technical aspects of DJing for over a decade. His impeccable ability to harness the boom bap of the 90s New York era and mesh it with innovative new techniques make DJ 456 a rarity in his niche. With inspiration from the likes of Premier, Gang Starr, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, and Pete Rock, DJ 456 appeals to hip-hop heads that appreciate the beats that make your head nod and lyrics that actually have something to say.
Currently, DJ 456 is spinning for Capital R and Mr. Flex of Chosen Spokesman on a tour taking them as far as Croatia where they will play the Outlook festival 2011.
