How I Landed the Biggest Nightclub Residency | DJ E-Rock DSH #698

It's a dream to be able to play music and create a vibe and create moments that people will sometimes never forget.

And sometimes people are coming into that nightclub and they're celebrating, you know, milestones in their lives.

That when that one song pops on, and all of a sudden, it creates this moment that they talk about for 20 years.

All right.

Welcome back to the Digital Social Hour, guys.

I'm your host, Sean Kelly.

Got a great guest for you guys today.

First DJ on the pod.

Wow, I'm honored.

Yeah, DJ E-Rock.

I'm honored.

My man.

Hey, can I tell you something real quick?

Because I was actually driving here and I was thinking about this, but

your name is like probably the coolest name in podcasting I've ever seen.

You have three first names.

I do.

Which is really amazing.

That's rare, right?

That's very rare.

It's very rare.

Yeah.

Never seen that.

But think about some of like the most like successful brands.

Like, yo, that's like two first names.

Three.

I mean, yo.

Yeah, yeah.

That's pretty dope.

I could start a three first name movement.

There you go.

There we go.

There you go.

I mean, yo, there's Sean John, which was like a very successful, like, you know, clothing line from Diddy.

And yeah, you know, but I mean, come on, man.

Like, yo, it's a great name.

Let's do it, man, by the way.

Let's do it.

I can't wait to dive into your world because I don't know much about DJs, honestly.

Okay, okay.

Now, from the outsider looking in, it looks easy, but talk to me about the work that goes in behind the scenes because no one gets to really dive into that side of things.

You know, I've seen this.

I don't want to call it a meme, but I've seen this clip from another podcast

not too long ago.

And, you know, how you say that DJing looks easy.

Like, you know, a lot of us, you know, I think a lot of DJs like, you know, could agree, but

this clip actually mentioned how, you know,

it's like playing Tetris at like level like 19, like through like a period of four hours.

Okay.

Because you're constantly figuring out like, you know, okay, what's the next record?

What's the next play?

What's going to happen when I do this?

Because at the end of the day, if you're looking at...

at like you know the grand scheme i mean it's a business yeah you know so obviously if you're if you're self-serving if you're, you know, like only doing things that you want to do, because it's like, you know, like, oh, this is my favorite song, but you're not appeasing to the crowd, like, like, you're not, you're not going to drive revenue.

Yeah.

You know, so

the back end work and, and especially these days, like, you know, it's became very extensive, you know, in our field.

It's, it's become from, you know, and a lot of people have a lot of arguments about like, oh, well, I'm just a good DJ.

I shouldn't have to, you know, promote or this and that, you know, and

today, like, you know, there's a lot of that.

That checklist has gotten longer.

Right.

You know, not only do you have to be a good DJ, you have to have these relationships.

You have to, you know, post.

You have to create your own flyers.

You have to curate this moment, curate that moment.

You know, there's a whole bunch of things that go into it.

Right.

You know, to,

you know, to do this at a high level.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Now, do you have a set playlist every night or are you kind of feeling the vibe out of the room?

I would say like,

For me,

I would have like, you know, a safe like 10 minutes that I play that I probably like, you know, will jumble around and kind of figure out what the room is,

you know, is about.

I like to call it like, you know, like the

10 minutes of texture.

Right.

You know, I kind of, you know, hey, look, I'm dropping these four things and I'm going to see what reacts the best.

And that's going to be like, you know, the

truth teller of like the entire night.

But, you know, for the most part, you know, and for DJs that are watching this, like I'm actually one of the DJs.

I don't have crates.

I have the worst organizational system of my music completely.

What's crates?

Crates are like, you know, like boxes that you can create, like folders.

Oh, okay.

You know, folders that you can like, you know, organize your music in in this program that we, that most of us use, which is called Serato.

I don't have many of them.

You know, I kind of go off the cuff and kind of go like, you know, with what I'm feeling, but within the confines of what I'm learning while I'm like, you know, playing that set.

Yeah.

And the hours you're working are nuts, right?

Like you're up till 4 a.m.

Yeah.

I, you know, for me, I would say,

you know, I start my day maybe around like, you know, my DJ day at least, you know, I, you know, I do more than obviously, you know, the DJ thing, but, you know, I'll start that day maybe around like 7.30.

And it's crazy because I feel like

that 7.30 start time is, it sets the stage for a good night.

Okay.

You know, what am I doing?

What am I consuming?

You know, am I like, you know, and consuming, not in regards to just like what I'm eating, you know, obviously you don't want to have the wrong meal and walk in with a brick in your stomach.

You know, that's like the wrong thing to do.

But,

you know, I'll sometimes sit in the dark.

No noise.

Really?

Nothing, you know, read,

go through music, you know, just kind of vibe out.

Okay.

You know, and that's what I do until like maybe about like nine.

I'll shower.

Sometimes I'll, you know, I'll catch dinner with like, you know, people that want to, you know, that want to accompany me to the club, friends, you know, whatnot.

And, you know,

we'll catch the vibe there.

And then it rolls into obviously the set.

And I feel like those elements for me, and that's what works for me.

Like, if I can have, if I can set the stage right, like, I'll have like a really good night and a really good set.

Right.

You know, and

that turns into return business.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

How long is a set on average?

Right now, for me, it's about

two hours.

hours okay 90 minutes to two hours you know um back in the day um you know i'm from san francisco yeah uh we had a uh still and there still is a big thriving bar scene out there but used to do a lot of bars you know a lot of uh a lot of nightclubs out there ran a few actually

um but like those sets were sometimes you know four or five hours

and stuff you know i mean i'm not complaining though like you know it's it was a it's a dream to be able to play music and and create a vibe and create moments that people will sometimes never forget.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, sometimes people are coming into that nightclub and they're celebrating, you know, milestones in their lives.

You know, they're, they're celebrating

like, you know, their birthday, you know, and sometimes that when that one song pops on, they're, you know, they're lighting up and all of a sudden it creates this moment that they talk about for 20 years.

Right.

You know, so I can't be mad.

I mean, a four hour set, two hours set, I'm happy either way, you know.

Yeah.

Now, a lot of DJs don't get to the point you're at where you have a residency at a huge nightclub.

What were some of the things you did on the business side that you think led to that for you?

You know, I learned the business side when I used to run a nightclub in

San Francisco called, it was named Infusion Lounge.

Very, very,

I'd say it's probably the most historic nightclub in, or one of them

in the city for its time.

It was the first Vegas driven.

uh bottle service nightclub.

So I learned a lot from from being on the inside, like, you know, having a seat at the table and hearing these conversations from a business standpoint, from, you know, what, what, what causes like, you know, big moments to, to drive revenue, like, you know, or, or customers and, and, and being able to have a following and stuff like that.

Or even for the people, I used to do all the bookings there.

Yeah.

And I would learn, you know, how operators would look at each booking.

It wasn't necessarily, oh, yeah, he's a great DJ, but if he was a great DJ, but then brought nobody or, or had a bad attitude or whichever, like, you know, there were so many different factors that like, that went into it that made me understand how I needed to be as a DJ.

You know, I was like, okay, like, you know, these are the benchmarks that these guys have or the successful guys that I'm booking have.

Those are the benchmarks that I want.

You know, eventually that led to, you know, me, you know, getting, you know, I mean, I've had probably several residencies in Vegas over the last, you know, 15 years now.

Nice.

I'm grateful for all that.

I mean, it's changed my life.

But

learning the business side is definitely very important.

And

I encourage anybody that's watching this is

to learn that as much as possible.

Dive into that.

Hey, if you can get a seat at the table

where you can learn the business of DJing, then definitely dive into that.

Absolutely.

Do you think a DJ can make or break a nightclub?

Absolutely.

Because if they're asked, I mean, it kind of kills the vibe, right?

It kills the vibe.

You know, you get negative reviews.

People talk about it on social media.

People don't return.

Right.

People don't want to come back.

Because the music's super important at clubs.

People got to remember that nightclubs aren't an experience.

Right.

They're experiential.

You know what I mean?

So

when you're

the captain of that experience and you're just literally all over the place and you're not honing in on the needs of your crowd, you know, and look.

Every club is different.

Not all clubs are the same.

So obviously every crowd has a different need.

But if you're booked for a specific crowd and you're not catering to that need and those people think that you're completely assed, then yeah, they're not going to come back.

Yeah, because there are certain clubs that are more hip-hop oriented, EDM.

Yeah.

What's the club you're at right now?

What kind of crowd is up?

I'm in a few clubs.

You know, I have a few residencies through Tao Group

in Las Vegas.

So I'm at Tao.

I'm at Marquee.

I'm at Hakasan every now and then.

Where else?

Jewel, I'm there quite often.

I'm actually be there.

I don't know when this is coming out, but I'll be there on Monday, July 31st.

Nice.

And

every club has a different need.

Some are a little bit more hip-hop skewing or some are a little bit more

open format.

Some are more dance driven.

It just really depends.

Plus, at the same time, it depends on the night.

I feel like in Vegas, like a lot of like...

A lot of nightclubs, like, you know, you know what to expect on just like a certain night.

Like, I would say probably like a Saturday night at jewel will probably be a little bit more open format than it would be on a monday even though you could play open format on a monday but i know the needs of like a local las vegas crowd will probably be primarily hip-hop yeah so or 80 70 80 hip hop interesting where have been the craziest sets you've ever played

man obviously here

obviously here you know some i can't talk about but you know vegas is is a is an amazing city like you know if you learn how to how to navigate through here and you're you know you're in the right places with the right people you know it it could definitely you know show you a great time you know and i mean vegas is definitely a city miami um you know i've had some you know great times out there i'd probably say top three hangovers

miami is definitely yeah it's a you know great city um where else man you know chicago is an amazing an amazing city too so i i love actually i've had some great great times and great sets in chicago at tow Chicago as well.

Not in LA?

You know, I have had a couple a couple good nights in LA.

I'm, I don't know, maybe I feel like LA and Vegas are kind of like the same because like I'm so back and forth.

But yeah, you know, I've, I, I used to have a residency at a, at Hyde Sunset.

Shout out Frankie Delgado.

Um, you know, I've had some great nights there.

Uh, you know, Avenue, definitely some great nights.

Um,

you know, LA is definitely, definitely, uh, you know, up there for sure.

Nice.

Have you collaborated with any big artists or anything in the space uh yeah i've i've had residencies with people like uh i remember early on you know t-pain nice um you know i used to open up for like mustard poly d

um

metro booming nice you know before metro booming was really who metro booming is today i'm actually reuniting with that guy for a la la palooza after party

next Friday.

Sick.

You know, in the shy.

So, you know, you know, Little John, um

you know i mean yo there's so many i mean i remember playing and you know a night at haze which is now called jewel

um and you know we've had like you know kendrick lamoir's first like you know performance in vegas there you know but yeah i've definitely seen a lot definitely have i've shared the stage with a lot of people there's so many people that i i wish i can name off the top of the head but i mean i'm sure that if you've you know if you've heard of them you know i've definitely like you know that's sick definitely played alongside of them and that's one of the good parts about the business right the networking you've been able to meet some great people definitely definitely i mean through that residency with t payne i was able to put out a record with him nice um you know that record is still doing well it's called checkout you know featuring myself mario e clayton william uh obviously t pain you know um you know yeah there's there's a lot of opportunities that that that come out from from

doing what we do on a regular basis.

But it doesn't just stop it like the gigs.

It's like, you know, going out.

It's, it's being out in the streets.

It's being out supporting other people.

It's being out shaking hands, you know, and kissing babies like, you know, 24-7 and just making sure that people, but not only that, that, that people know who you are, people know how you are.

You know what I mean?

I don't think a lot of like the success that I've seen has really just came because I'm a good DJ.

I think a lot of it has came because, you know, I'm just a good person.

Wow.

You know what I mean?

And, you know, when you're a good person in this business and people will always say that that this business is,

you know, it's crazy.

It's shady.

It's,

you know,

it's not good and this and that.

But, you know, if you're a diamond in the rough and you're a good person and you're a breath of fresh air, you know, it incites people to want to help you.

It incites people to want to work with you.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, if you, if you're walking around with a bad attitude and you're arrogant and this and that, you know, I mean,

it's a turnoff.

It's a turnoff.

Who wants to work with people like that?

I wouldn't.

Exactly.

I also saw you were the DJ DJ for the San Francisco Giants for five years.

San Francisco Giants for five years.

That's where I pretty much started my sports DJing career.

Yeah.

You know, I was there for a minute.

You know, I was there for

two of the three rings during the even year magic era, which was great.

Dope.

Got to walk in a parade, you know, and all that.

That was an experience I'll never forget.

You know,

you know, today, actually, I still do sports.

You know, I'm with the, here locally with the XFL Vipers,

which is great.

You know, also with, you know, I still do, you know, things in San Francisco.

I'm the founder of the DJ program for the San Francisco 49ers, which is called the Yamp Squad.

It's a collective of DJs that not only are probably the best DJs in the Bay Area or in 49ers fandom,

but also,

you know,

they're probably the biggest fans in the world.

San Francisco is?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Or the DJs on the squad.

Oh, okay.

DJs on the squad.

So,

you know, I still do that.

That's about like, you know, two to three games a year.

And, you know, I pilot the program.

We're in our ninth year.

You know, right now, which is, you know, a blessing.

And, you know, I'm looking to do more, you know, do a little bit.

I've done stuff with the Knights out here, Golden Knights, you know.

You know, and obviously we know that, you know, Vegas is like a thriving sports market.

So hopefully I can expand that footprint out here, like, you know, as more teams come and, you know, more conversations are had.

Yeah, if you could get the we're getting mlb and nba right you could get both of those i'm excited you like sports i like uh nba like nba who's your team i'm more of a person guy i'm more of a person yeah who's your player then you're gonna hate this probably but lebron

i don't hate it at all oh okay you either hate him or you love him so i i i love do you get people on the show that hate lebron oh yeah really i understand why he gets that type of hate uh yeah i don't know I guess when you're that good, it's polarizing.

Like, Jordan got a lot of hate, too.

Yeah, no, for sure.

You know, now I understand the whole entire like polarizing debate of who's the GOAT, Jordan or LeBron.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, in my eyes, I think it's Jordan, but hey, look, if it's, if it's LeBron to you, then, yo,

that there's no right or wrong to that answer.

It's an opinion question.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

People get so heated over someone else's opinion.

Do they get

really mad, really upset, you know?

But.

Hey, yo, LeBron's done his thing.

I mean, yeah, LeBron may be bringing an NBA team here.

Yeah.

Which will be amazing.

I'd be nuts.

Yeah.

You also DJed Barry Bonds' record-breaking home run party.

I mean, that's legendary.

I got to hear about this.

That

was definitely a big turning point in my career.

Not only was I like a huge Barry, I still am a huge Barry Bonds fan.

And for the record, I think he should be in the Hall of Fame.

I don't care what anybody says.

No, he's not.

Oh, because of the steroid?

The whole scandal.

I'll put it like that.

So, yeah, I DJed.

I got booked to DJ the celebration party for his

record-breaking home run for the all-time record.

And man, it was the who's who of baseball in there at the time.

And, you know, I grew up obviously in the 80s and 90s.

So, I mean, you had people like Jeter.

And,

I mean, dude, the list was crazy.

You name it.

But I remember there was a moment.

I've told this story before, but there was a moment where I was DJing.

And it was early in the night.

You know, I was excited.

I was young at the time.

You know, I I mean, how many years ago was that?

I was young, man.

I remember seeing it on TV, maybe like 12 years ago or something.

Maybe a little bit longer.

Longer?

Yeah, I think it's longer because I wasn't in Vegas.

I've been in Vegas for 15 years.

Okay.

So it was before that, but that was a moment that led to me, you know, a profile moment that led me coming to Vegas.

But I remember DJing, and when I say there it was the who's who there, like, I mean, I remember playing records, and

Reggie Jackson is walking by.

Not only that, Reverend Jesse Jackson is walking by.

Willie Mays, Damn, you know, like people that like, these guys are legends,

like not just in baseball, but globally, global icons, you know.

But there was a moment where

I was playing a record and it was very vulgar.

And

Reverend Jesse Jackson was sitting in front of

the DJ booth at the time.

And I remember it was, you know, I had no sense back then, man.

I was a lot younger, but I was playing a record, had very suggestive content at the time.

It was very inappropriate for the hour.

Yeah, yeah.

Um, definitely a mistake.

Um, but I remember it said the lyric, and it was really loud, it was in the club.

I remember you think Reggie, I mean, not Reggie, but Reverend Jesse Jackson is in a club, like, you know, with that loud of music.

He's hearing everything, yeah.

So, I remember the lyric, like, you know, was

on the loud, on the PA, and he looks at me and gives me this really like, you know, like,

I wouldn't say evil.

He's a reverend, but, you know, he was really like, yo, what are you playing stare?

Yeah.

And I remember I was shook.

I was like, yo, like, that's Reverend Jesse Jackson.

And he just gave me like, you know, the stink guy going, what are you playing right now?

It's nine o'clock at night.

You know what I mean?

Did you stop the song right there?

I got out of it pretty quick, you know, and played something a little bit more suitable.

But like, you know, yeah, like.

Moments like that happen.

I remember there was another moment where

I was playing.

It was like, you know, early, 10 o'clock, and, you know, and I actually felt bad.

But then

a lady came up to me and said, hey, you know, sir, you know, we appreciate your work, but can you turn it down?

Because Willie Mays can't hear.

And I'm like, oh, wow.

I'm so young at that time.

Like, yo, who, who, who participates in conversations like that at that age?

Willie Mays?

Like, like the Willie Mays?

Like, I'm more moved that, like, you know, that, that he's, you know, here and I'm in the same room as, you know, as him.

And it's like, yeah, he can't hear, but if he can't hear, he's going to leave.

And he wants to be here for Barry.

And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry.

So I turned it down.

Wow.

But yeah, that party was definitely

an amazing experience.

I'll never forget it.

Barry had a speech.

It was the who's who of baseball.

Like, you know, it was probably, it was during All-Star weekend when it was in San Francisco last.

That's legendary.

But it was definitely like, yeah, that was big.

That was big.

That was huge.

I've had a lot of moments like that.

And, you know,

but that one for sure, being a fan, and, you know, I mean, Barry is still, you know, an icon and an idol to me, you know, so being able to do that at such a young age.

And I opened up for DJ Cassidy.

So I got to share the stage with him.

And, you know, we know that what he's done, I mean, he's got the Pass the Mike series online and stuff like that.

So

who are like the pioneers of the DJ space?

Is there like a few guys that really changed the game?

You know, I think that's a

think that's a relative question okay you know i i think it's different for everybody you know because like for me you know i i have a set of of people that that changed the game for me you know and that inspired me in in different ways

you know like i i grew up a bay area kid listening to people like you know dave meyer dj franzen you know who is uh you know another big vegas local out here um you know he's got key to the city you know but i grew up listening listening to him on the radio in the Bay Area.

I also grew up listening to Jazzy Jim.

You know, but you know, I've had different people at different times that I'm like, yo, that just changed the game for me because it's always evolving.

You know what I mean?

DJ A.M., when I used to open up for him at a club called Aura and Pleasanton, like, you know, there was,

you know, a lot of people in that.

In that, I mean, that I could probably say that changed the game for me that probably weren't necessarily in the same conversation for other people.

Right.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, not as like mainstream guys.

Yeah, you know, like Aoki's mainstream.

Yeah, Aoki's mainstream and he could probably be a game.

And I love what he does, but he's probably a game changer for somebody that's a little bit more, you know, dance-oriented.

Like, I don't know much from that space.

I do, you know, good enough, you know, good, a good enough of knowledge, but, you know, for me, like, you know, I'm, you know, I come from like, you know, that, that old school, like, you know, 80s, 90s, like, you know, boom bap era, like, you know, where like someone like jazzy jeff is like you know like like i'll still pay good money you know to go see jazzy jeff like you know live you know what i mean and that's something that like i said i think it's it's different for everybody you know what i mean yeah speaking of money how good is the money in the dj space it can be good it can be great

it can be great i'm not i'm not rich by any means um but hey look you know i've i've been able to take care of my family for quite some time just doing this it's um

it's not only a thing and this is the you know one thing i wanted to get across across about that question was, you know, the money could be good, but the money doesn't have to stop there.

You know, DJing has enabled me to open up doors for other opportunities.

Right.

You know, it's enabled me to,

you know, have a marketing agency.

It's enabled me to, at one point, have a graphic design agency.

It's enabled me to, you know, have a concierge company at one point.

It's enabled me to dive into other businesses and other spaces, you know, like people wouldn't know this.

I mean, I worked at, you know, Shoe Palace for like six years, you know, as a marketing, you know, manager.

I worked

at Zappos, you know, and, and, you know, was a

big piece of them evolving their brand with a team.

that um that was supposed to like, you know, dive into the sneakerhead world, you know, people wouldn't, but all that came from me DJing, which is crazy, you know, and I feel like, you know, like DJs could definitely make, I mean, because you're, you're constantly thinking, you're constantly on the fly, you're constantly making plays and, you know, you have to market yourself.

You have to figure out how to like, you know, always elevate yourself.

And all those skills could be used to like, you know, a company, like to a nightclub.

I ran four nightclubs in San Francisco.

Wow.

You know, I still dive in on

strategic marketing plays with some of the hospitality companies out here, whether it's through the lens of Culture Kings.

I work at Culture Kings today today as a marketing guy.

Yeah.

How did that happen?

Because that's a huge company.

It's a huge company, man.

And, you know, I count my lucky stars.

You know, I mentioned that I worked at Zappos for a couple of years.

I'd say five or six.

We opened up a store called Zen in

Koreatown in L.A.

Great store, great space, amazing neighborhood.

I still love Cape Town like No Tomorrow.

The only issue was obviously we launched in the middle of a pandemic.

And, you know,

Zappos is an Amazon-owned company, so you would only

expect

that they would want the profitability of that company to constantly be up and up and up and up.

Yeah, they're all about their margins.

Yeah, just, you know, that's business.

It's corporate, you know.

So, you know, after that, we ended up closing the company probably at, say, in April or maybe I got laid off in April, but it closed a little bit down the line.

And then I got recruited by a good friend.

Her name is Monica Lynn.

She used to work at a brand called Popular Demand back in the day.

And she used to, you know, send me, you know, clothes and shorts and hats and stuff like that.

And we've always remained friends.

Nice.

One day, you know, she calls me and she's like, hey, I have something that we could probably work on.

And I think that this is probably up your alley.

And I had already been laid off.

I was, you know, very vocal about it on Twitter.

I wasn't upset about it.

You know, I was more so making, you know, a joke about it.

I was like, hey, look, now I have all this free time.

I'm going to actually enjoy Vegas.

I'm going to go out.

I'm going to enjoy my time out.

She calls me.

She says, hey, I think I have something that we can work on.

I want to see if

it's something you're interested in.

And,

you know,

it's interesting.

I'm like, what is it?

I meet up with her.

She shows me this space.

It's in Caesars.

It looks like a nightclub.

And she tells me, like, this is going to be the future home of Culture Kings Las Vegas.

You know, Culture Kings, very story brand in

Australia, New Zealand.

You know, they are the authority in streetwear sneakers and whatnot so obviously this was you know in the same vein of what i was doing for for zen and zappos and even shoe palace nice like you know throughout my career um

you know at first it started out where it's like hey look we need to thread in you know this brand and this company with the local fabric and you know you know everyone you you you you know are in the right circles we believe that you could probably be the person to bring the right people in here you know that can help us like you you know push you know the the the messaging the gospel out there you know

and um i said yes and yeah here we are like you know pretty much almost like you know we're already pretty like looking at our one year anniversary wow um yeah we threw a crazy like you know grand opening had dj drama you know uh

pretty much like ushering the soundtrack i played a little bit we had a um a couple locals and stuff like that but we had like you know pretty much like all of las vegas like you know in there

and it was great you know it was it was an amazing you know night great energy and uh you know that company is definitely you know i i i love the culture of uh of of of that company more than anything you know i feel like a lot of us look out for each other i feel that you know we really see eye to eye on a lot of things you know and at the same time working with the team that i work with we're we're you know we're all kind of like the same you know we're we're all fighting for the same goal like you know we're all we're all we've all bought in.

You know, it feels like a team.

It's like, yo, like an NBA team, like people will say, like, you know, like, for instance, like, you know, I don't know if there's any Jordan Poole fans listening.

You know, I'm a Warriors fan.

Yeah.

And the big thing was, you know,

they didn't move Jordan Poole because of his talent or his skill set.

They moved him because apparently he wasn't sold or he didn't buy into the system.

It was chemistry.

Yeah, you know, but I feel that.

that like you know the chemistry that i have with this company versus a lot of other companies is definitely definitely there you know Nice.

And that's important.

Yeah, super important.

That's important.

And, you know, it's, yeah, one team, one dream.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Love that.

Man, it's been a blast.

Anything you want to close off with?

And where can people find you?

You know,

I got a lot more that I talk about.

Is it okay if I plug my podcast?

Okay, so I got a podcast.

It's called The Full Convo.

Some of your favorite, like, you know, stars from today, I'd say, like, you know, someone like Blast, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean,

you know, JID, Dream, like you name it.

They're all on this podcast.

They come by the store.

We get to talk shop.

A little fireside chat.

It's called The Full Convo, or on the Culture King side, it's called Between Takes.

You can find that on YouTube, or you can see everything that I'm doing, like whether it's something smart or something dumb on my Instagram at DJEerock.

And we didn't get to talk about this.

Like, yo, I'm on the radio, you know, pretty much full-time.

You can catch me here locally in Las Vegas on Real 1039.

You know, I'm actually very involved in everything over there.
