A Brooklyn Life

This is Jason’s second guest appearance on the podcast. Jason hails from Seattle, Wa., where he’s an artist, an art teacher and a DJ. Jason, come on down, welcome back to ABrooklynLife!

For his first appearance, we discussed the meaning of a turntablist. I’ll trust you remember the particulars, but do enjoy the wild ride through hip-hop and booty shakin’ musical history as Jason takes you through a dizzying 47 records in 80 minutes.

For additional education, you non-Southerners–maybe it’s not just a Southern term?–might want to check out the ever evolving definition of "shorty" as it appears in many of the compositions you’ll hear today. 

As always, enjoy!
