Artist History
Dj kamikaze a.k.a Jerry Wade first started writing rymes at age 16.A friend of mine name Jack got me into it in 1986.In 1988, we put together a group called posse-in-effect.It was Jack flowen, Terry Black on the turtables, Mandeland my brother Perry dancers and I was the hype man.We did our first show in 1989 in Miller park, and peoplevibed with us and we received much props. After that show,everybodys ego got in the way and we went our separate ways.During that time I got my first mixer by trading a shirt for it.In 1990 I was doing production on a small scale. I had two old turntables and two tape decks making tracks. I was in the hilltopsat the augustfest is were I met my homeboy Rick(Rick Raw) and the coldestMC that I've ever heard. His name was David Smith(Dizzy D). We formed a groupcalled One Funky Nation. When we did shows, people would just trip because theywould bust and I come on the old turtables cutting. We did all our shows live, no tapes.We broke up in 1992 because of indifferance in the group far as creativity and managment.In 1993 Me and my brother Perry(Pure-X) put out our first tape called Pure-X featuring Dj KamikazeComing Out of Omaha. I did pretty well considering that we didn't have a black radio station.In 1995, I started to piece my own studio because other people were being shaddy about me using their studios. I created Hightower records in 2001. |
