So yeah, send that over so we could play some. Actually, I think my list is filled up for tonight, but still go to the website djabs.com so you could be um on the playlist for tomorrow um or this week, period. Because um, all of a sudden, it's Monday to Friday, new music at 10. All right, and and I heard some of the joints on the playlist tonight. Oh man, we got some heaters, so get ready. Nessa, how are you doing? Good morning, yeah, yeah. DJ Blast was popping, family. It's ironic in the building, yeah. So, okay, guys, uh and and I I want your honest opinion, okay? And I want you to leave it in the comment box, all right. First of all, I never wish death upon no man or no woman, nobody at all. But I'm always gonna say rest in peace to Africa and Bombada because he has done something for the music culture, he has done something huge in the hip-hop culture. There's no ifs, ands around nothing around that. There's this it is what it is, he has done something for the hip-hop culture. Now, there's another side that does not agree with his, you know, the man he is or he was, you know. I mean, and and and and and we all know what that is, all right. So, my question is to you. Do you and and yes, everybody deserves a second chance in life, they do, they do, but I do understand that some don't want to give second chances, you know. I mean, that there's people I I I know that did something dirty to me, and I swear to god, I they don't deserve no second chance in my life. They don't. I I truly get it, I truly get it. But are you agreeing in not saluting African Bombada because of what he did? Or it's zero tolerance and you don't care for the man. I wanna I want you to leave it in the comment box. Or it's whatever, salute Africa Mabada, thank you for what you've done for the hip hop culture. What do you think? I want you to leave it in the comment box because I want to know what it is. Because I had a conversation with somebody, and and and and you know, and and I'm not I had no problem with his decision, you know. I mean, if they say, yo, I don't want to, I'll never ever play a song from African Bombada because of what he did, I get it. I truly get it. I truly get it. Um, and that goes for any other the R. Kelly's, the Diddy's, the I get it. I truly get it. Um, me, DB Aussie was good, Haitian. Me, it's like this right here, these turntables, and when I go perform, that's what pays my bills. This is what makes my legacy. This is what makes me the greatest DJ in the world. It doesn't make me the greatest DJ in the world because I played something somebody did wrong. It makes me good and great because the way I perform. So I never I I never, you know, try to cancel people in my mix because of what they did. What they I I don't know, man. It's just me. I think two things don't have to do with each other, but then again, I get it. You know, there's something called morals. I I get it, I truly do. Gotta remember it all, the good and the bad. Yeah. To each his or her own, I understand, and in fairness, the uh alleged victims, bam, did not do the work to make it right. I I truly get it. I truly understand. I truly understand. Um, so back to what I was saying, you know. I when I come to perform, you know what I mean? I I don't care if I don't like the guy Tiger because of what he did to me long time ago. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna stop playing his music, you know what I mean? I don't know, man. I don't know. It's just really weird. This music industry is really weird. Cause at the end of the day, you know what I think? I think we've reached to a point where well, this is my opinion. The music industry is kind of weird in the sense that me? I don't give a fuck about none of that. Because none of that gives a fuck about me. It's just what it is. These record labels, these artists will use me today and they don't know me in the next couple of years. They done forgot about me. And we see that a lot. You know what I mean? I don't think the government gives a fuck about me. I don't give, I don't think certain it is what it is. So my mentality of this music industry is kind of different. So I'm sorry if I'm selfish with my thoughts, but when it comes to this here, it's all about me. It's all about me. So if I'm on Rock the Bells, so what? I'm gonna play Africa Mambada. It is what it is, it is what it is. Like, I got a job to do, I got a job to do, and that's my job and how I perform. Anyways, you know, I just wanted to ask you guys, you know, what's your thought on you know um what's going on online that you see with African Mimbada, but at the same time, rest in peace, African Bombada. Um, and and I'm I'm sorry, you know. I'm not gonna say I'm sorry, but thank you for what you've done and with with the music culture and and and how you got things started at one point. Cause you did that. It is what it is. Gotta play. Listen, man. You know, uh, you know, that's just me. Like I said, I gotta pay my bills. There's somebody that cuts me a check for doing what I do great. Alright. So me going on Rock the Bells this past weekend and saying rest in peace to Africa Mimbada was not wrongdoing. There was nothing wrong about that. There wasn't. Now, what he has done in the past, there is something wrong with that. And that's him. He has to, well, he had to fix it, you know what I mean? And do right. And and and make sure, you know, he clears up his name. But enough about that. Um, rest in peace for Africa Bombada. It just gotta be better. You're absolutely right. Uncle Phil was popping. DJ Popo in the building was good. No matter what he did, you can't deny the impact he made for the music culture. You can't. You can't. Shout to Modified in the building, man. He got a dope joint. We played Friday on New Music at 10. That was crazy. You know what I mean? Um, Kid Quest was popping, homie. Brooking collective apparel in the building. How you doing? DC Studios 954 Broad County was popping. Nessa says second chances depend really on what was done. Is it something that could be forgivable? I mean, some have it hard to separate the person talent. Yeah, absolutely right. What you need help with? What you need help with? I don't do nobody's laundry. No, I'm just kidding. Oh man, Michelle, how you doing? Um, so something else.

Yo, you know, even yo, you know, yeah. And all I could do is just smirk and be like, man, let him find out. Let him find out. And then when they do find out, be like, Your abs, man, I should have listened to you. Yeah, you should have, but hey, I ain't want to come off as a hater. You get that all the time.

You know, I'm sorry, I'm not on no six-styne side, or I'm not applauding his behavior or the way he's talking, like, but it's true. It's true, Pooh Sheisty. What are you gonna do right now?

But you do something to me? Oh man. Hey, you know what he did? That's me. That's me. DJ, sir. See how you yo. I'm not playing with him. Don't play with me. You're right. You're right. Bransaws, how you doing? Good morning. Malpale, I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna hum like a bird. You know what that nigga did to me? Oh man, oh man. So did you see Justin Bieber and Coachella DJing with a laptop off of YouTube and one mic and killed the party? Let me tell you something, man. Don't say it can't be done. If you're a great DJ, you'll find a way to rock a party without a controller, without two turntables. You'll find a way to rock a party. And trust me, I've done it plenty of times. Give me an aux cable and watch me go to work. Give me an aux cable and watch me go to work. Ironic, you stupid. Yeah, don't own nobody 10K at the cassette. Yo, did you see offset jump on stage with the wheelchair? Offset gangster, yo. Offset is gangster. Oh man. But yeah, Justin, yo, Justin Bieber did that. Went on stage at Coachella, opened his laptop, turned on the YouTube, made sure he had premium so the ads won't go on. Took the mic and rocked, smashed the party down. Justin Bieber, salute. You made us DJs proud. That was absolutely dope. Oh man. Oh man. DJs, are you cutting it up and and you're moving to the song too quick? Let me tell you something, man. If you're doing a two, three hour set, you shouldn't be doing that. And it depends if you're mixing the the the sample record with with the remix of. I get it. You know what I mean? But if you're burning yourself out, like nah, stop that. Some people see me do it. Only time I do it and I'm going mixing maybe 50 records in a time period zone, it's pick it's probably because I got a 30-minute set. Why am I getting a 30-minute set? Because I'm sharing uh a set with a bunch of other DJs. So guess what? In a 30 minute set, I'm not going to let my songs breathe and give you 10 to 15 songs in 30 minutes. For that, I'm just gonna plug in my laptop like Justin Bieber and just let the song play. No, if you give me a 30-minute set, I'm gonna do something called a DJ Epps Mega Mix. And there's only certain DJs that could do this. Not every DJ could do this. Because at this time, you're doing a DJ show. You're doing an exhibition. You know what I mean? But if you had a party and you're rocking out for two, three hours, all that quick mix thinking, yo, slow down. Slow down. Slow down. Yeah, let the second verse play. Yeah. Yeah. J Beans was popping. I appreciate you. I thrive on that because that's absolutely a DJ's job to get the party lit. You know what I mean? Oh, DJ15 Plus. I appreciate that, man.

DJ ebbs.bandcamp.com and and and go grab a man. Like, you know, I mean they don't have my DJ name on it.

And yes, K S one did shut it down. Actually, that had to be the boom bat party of the year in Miami, Florida, in South Florida.

DJ Storm NYC was popping. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Um, did you check out that Remy Mart freestyle? Oh my god, on the WYFL. Oh my god, that rhythm, the reggae rhythm that everybody's playing.

It's just, you know, I think when I think terror squad now, today, April 13, 2026, I think of Fad Joe, Tony Sunshine, and Reming Ma. That's it. That's it, right? Am I right? That's Terra Squad. That's it. Joe done cleared out anybody that doesn't need to be part of the group, that's that's doing some foul stuff, whatever. So, Terra Squad, that's what I see. Fat Joe, Tony Sunshine, Remy Ma. That's it. That's it. Joe, don't add no more. Just leave it like that and live the Terra Squad life. Let the legacy keep on. That's my opinion. Shout out to the Terra Squad family.
