Shortee Blitz: Steel Sharpens Steel

Listen on

Episode notes

They say that time flies when you’re having fun. This week’s episode was originally recorded 18 months ago. We had some technical difficulties. Local files got corrupted and whatnot, but this episode was so nice, we edited it twice, and here we are. 

Our guest is a friend of the show and a living legend in our culture. Shortee Blitz is one of the best DJs ever. His list of hits and accolades are longer than the Hammersmith and City line. He’s rocked stages with HOF'ers, including De La Soul and LL Cool J and many more. 

He stays on the radio and his specialist Hip Hop show with DJ MK on Kiss plays actual music instead of favourites. When he’s not mashing up the dance with his expert selections, he gets to that TV money nicely. We don’t hate the player. Pun intended.

Sumit and I got into so much of his business, it was like a police interrogation. We talked about his DJ roots, friendship with Ty, working at Rawkus and a lot more.
