"The
Hottest Muthaf**kin Mix DJ in the F**kin World!" is the
description legendary Southern Hip Hop icon Luther Uncle Luke
Campbell, formerly of 2 Live Crew, uses to describe 23-year-old
DJ SMALLZ. Encompassing a blend of supreme turntable
skills and marketing finesse, it’s no surprise why DJ Smallz has
quickly risen to become one of the nation’s premier DJs and what
has led him to the type of success that has eluded many in his
field.
Born overseas, DJ
Smallz moved to the state of Florida in his early childhood,
expanding his passion for southern hip hop music. His strong
love affair with the hip hop scene switched to a passion for
turntables from percussion instruments in his early teenage
years. By the age of 18, DJ Smallz rapidly sharpened his
turntable techniques, sweeping local competition through various
night club performances and a powerful mixtape presence,
garnering a profound street buzz for his passion of southern hip
hop music.
That passion for southern hip hop music soon led to national
exposure garnered from an intense street presence of his
nationally recognized
SOUTHERN SMOKE
brand. Aiding as a powerful marketing tool for many major
artists, record labels and managements, DJ Smallz played a
monumental role in catapulting major and independent Southern
artists to the attention of national and international markets.
The Southern Smoke brand has been co-signed by some of the
biggest names in the music industry, and to date, DJ Smallz has
collaborated with such established figures as Grammy
Award-winner Big Boi of Outkast, southern hip hop pioneers UGK,
Master P and Three 6 Mafia, as well as multi-platinum superstars
Lil’ Jon, Ludacris and T.I.
With the enormous
success of his Southern Smoke brand, DJ Smallz turned his
talents to the national radio scene. Every Thursday night from
midnight-2am, SOUTHERN SMOKE RADIO dominates the airwaves
and broadcasts live to more than 3 million subscribers on Sirius
Satellite Radio (Channel 40 “Hip Hop Nation”) and DISH Network
(Channel 6040).
With so many
accomplishments, of course has come a bevy of media and industry
accolades. DJ Smallz has appeared on several music television
shows including MTV’s “Direct Effect” and was named one of the
“Top 7 Hip Hop DJs” in the USA Today. DJ Smallz has graced the
pages of Vibe, XXL, The Source, and New York Times to name a
few.
When the
23-year-prodigy isn't in the studio or dominating radio
airwaves, DJ Smallz may be found constructing his massively
growing multi-media empire. SouthPromo.com, a fully
staffed marketing and advertising firm established in 2002,
presently caters to a clientele of more than 50 companies,
including major and independent record labels, several clothing
companies, and various consumer products, including beverages,
movies, and video games. Other projects keeping DJ Smallz in
heavy demand include Fear Factor Music Group, DJ Smallz’
artist development company, Southern Smoke TV, a reality
television show in conjunction with “Beef” series creator QD3,
and the release of DJ Smallz’ highly anticipated “Southern
Smoke” album, a commercial compilation releasing in 2009.
