DJ Rasta Root Presents: Smokin Shells

You may be wondering… Who is DJ RASTA ROOT? Well let me give you a quick introduction…

“For over 20 years RASTA ROOT has been spreading his interpretation of Hip Hop through out the world. Originally from Canada, Roots has traveled from the US to Europe to Japan spinnin’ nothing but the hottest joints, taking elements of turntablism as well as club mixing, to bring what he calls a “styleless style”. One of the founding members of Smokin’ Needles Records, Dj Rasta Root has become an integral part of hiphop worldwide. He has spun Japan, Europe, Phillipines, Canada, US, and most of the Caribbean. He brings the party to any club, radio show, or live stage. He’s bringing seamless mixes with a great selection coupled with a sense of the crowd he is playing for.

DJing and producing  for the likes of A Tribe Called Quest’s Phife Dawg and blazing tracks for Jax, Hawkeye, Dwele, & Consequence. He’s even opened shows in Japan for the likes of Redman, Nas, Busta Rhymez, and the Wu-tang Clan. Roots’ claims that djing in Japan allowed him to hone his skills in reading the crowd. Having to dj for people who don’t speak English and at the same time cater to the Americans in the crowd, forced Roots to be precise and skilled with his mixes. Along with longtime brazilian dj Marc-T, Rasta Root started what we now know as Smokin’ Needles Records. Taking all he learned, Roots decided to move back to the States and plant his “roots” in Atlanta, GA. (Where he Currently Resides)

He quickly made his name through the local club circuit, opening for artists such as KRS-One, Noriega, A Tribe Called Quest and Rakim. Roots found a home for himself on 88.5FM WRAS on “The Bomb”, at Georgia State U. Boasting 100,000 watts and having the biggest college signal in the US, this station was exactly what Roots needed. This was his chance for the whole city of Atlanta and the surrounding areas to hear his mixes and blends. It was at 88.5 that Roots met Jay Force.”
