He teamed up with Will Smith to become the duo known as DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

In 1986 DJ Jazzy Jeff won the world DJ competition, New Music Seminar DJ Battle.

As a solo artist, DJ Jazzy Jeff recorded his first album with Sony Music in 1998, but it was necer released. It wasn’t until 2002 when he released and album entitled “The Magnificent,” andfour albums later, he followed up in 2007 with “The Return of The Magnificent.” The album featured numerous collaborations with many different artists including CL Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Pos from De La Soul, Method Man, Rhymefest, and Raheem DeVaughn. From 2009 to 2012 he released a number of mix tape albums.

In 1990 when Smith started to branch out with his acting career for the television show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Jazzy Jeff played a recurring character named Jazz.

Biografía de Killer Mike

Born, Michael Render and hailing from Atlanta Georgia is an artist widely known as Killer Mike, who has built up a reputation as a hip-hop artist, with an impressive top 10, debut album under his belt.

Killer Mike’s career started to take off when he crossed paths with the producers, The Beat Bullies and Outkast’s Big Boi, through whom, he landed a feature on their song “Snappin’ & Trappin’”, from the album ‘Stankonia’. It put his name firmly on the map and he built a career around it. He also featured on “Poppin’ Tags” by Jay-Z.

With a couple of recognizable accolades to his name, Killer Mike decided to record his debut album entitled “Monster” on March 11th 2003. It was released through the prestigious Columbia Records and peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and number 4 on the Billboard R&B charts. The second single from the album, “A.D.I.D.A.S”, made it to number 60 on theBillboard 200, and number 22 in the UK Singles Chart, building Killer Mike’s international following. Despite receiving moderate critical acclaim, Killer Mike’s, sophomore album “I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind”, release on November 21st 2006, didn’t chart, however, “I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II” released on July 8th 2008, managed to make the charts climbing to number 9 on the Rap Charts. His following record, “Underground Atlanta”, released on August 31st 2009, fortunately maintained a similar chart reputation to its predecessor, despite not making it into the Billboard 200. “PLE3GE” saw a deserved return to the chart, peaking at number 115 on the chart, with his career only growing further, with “R.A.P. Music” making it to number 82 in the Billboard 200 and number 8 in the Rap Chart. Complex dubbed the album the 32nd best from 2012, and it was number 20 on Rolling Stone’s top 50 albums of 2012.

Unless you lived under a rock in the late 80s/early 90s, you definitely know DJ Jazzy Jeff, or just Jazz from The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. The American hip hop and R&B disc jockey, record producer, turntablist and actor had a lot of success making music with The Fresh Prince (Will Smith) and once they parted ways, Jazzy Jeff continued to perform as a solo act. He still travels internationally to give his fans the show that they deserve.

Due to his long time popularity, he still draws a pretty large crowd of fans to his DJ sets. His table of equipment is very simple and straightforward, with his computer in the middle and two turntables on each side. Watching him do his thing is completely mesmerizing. His hands move so meticulously, and the concentration and flow of his connection with the music and knowing exactly when to scratch. He makes it look like absolutely no effort whatsoever, yet the music is multi-faceted. He plays a variable playlist of song types, which appeals to a large group of fans. It is pretty cool to watch one of your favorite television personalities and witness their first hand talent and artistry.

I've been a Hieroglyphics fan since I was a freshman in high school and they dropped '3rd Eye Vision.' I was visiting a friend in Philly when the album was released and picked it up at a record store out there. So funny since I live in California and was purchasing an underground Cali group CD on the east coast, but that just goes to show you that good music travels fast. To take it back even further, I was just 11 when my brother rigged our radio so that we could hear the Wake Up Show on KMEL in our closet (which is a bay area station 65 miles from home) and heard Souls of Mischief for the first time, which is a group consisting of 4 of the members of Hieroglyphics. I've been addicted ever since. I went to my first Hiero show at Planet Rock 1997 in Oakland, CA. I was 15 and struggled to stay awake, but it was well worth it! They give off so much good energy when they perform that you can feel it transcend to you. I've been to countless shows since and each one surpasses the last. It's hard to explain, but if you could imagine good vibes, hands in the air, heads nodding, and some of the freshest beats and rhymes you've ever heard then you can halfway picture what it's like to see Hieroglyphics perform. They're most def chillin' like that from 93 'til infinity!
I love them because they are humble people and still put out good music, yet the classics never die and slap harder than ever! If you hear them, you will never go back to the mainstream because they make mainstream rappers sound lame - you'll want to throw that mainstream CD out the window and ask for your money back.

I'm not being overdramatic when I say watching Killer Mike was one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life.

Killer Mike is a big guy but he puts more energy into his shows than just about anyone out there. Unlike some rappers, he doesn't phone in any part of his performance. His music is loud, energetic music that really gets the crowd going and this sort of thing translates great to a live show.

One thing that I was a little surprised at when I saw Killer Mike was how his show was almost like a motivational speaker in between songs. He gives these uplifting speeches that really make you connect with him better and it all just makes Killer Mike come off as a really likeable guy. You wouldn't expect a guy with "killer" as part of his name to be like that.

In conclusion, if you have the chance to see Killer Mike and are on the fence about it at all, you should do it in a heartbeat. I don't see how you could be disappointed. Even if you only know him from his Outkast songs you should still check him out when he comes to your town as either a solo act or as part of Run the Jewels.
