DJ Spinna March 30, 2008

DJ Spinna is something of an anomaly in music. He has a steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (funk, soul and Jazz), foundation (hip hop) and future (electronic/dance music) with no restraints. Rapper and producer Prince Paul has worked on albums by Boogie Down Productions, Gravediggaz, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane, 3rd Bass and others. His first claim to fame came when he produced De La Soul's acclaimed '3 Feet High and Rising' album. Best known for his partnership with Will Smith (The Fresh Prince), Philadelphia's DJ Jazzy Jeff was one of the original "turntablists."
