MolinaSoleil“Dee-Jay, say you give the people what they want / take head of the culture, give the people what they need / Indeed, we the children of the break beat sound / push back, let the truth rise from the underground”
“Dee-jay, say you give the people what they like / word sun then shine, give the people space to fly / Indeed, you da key, get the people on dey feet / let em shake loose, breathe, make sure they dance free”
Is what the people “want” what they “need”? Is there a difference? Would there be a difference in demand if people were truly offered more of what they need? Or is it all good just the way it is?
This track is an ode to the Dee-Jay and an ode to Hip-Hop culture… not rap music, but the culture, the history, the vibe you feel when you connect with artists, activists, and Hip-Hop heads who genuinely respect the culture.
This original version of Dee-Jay appeared on Shine Flow EP, released exactly one year ago today.
