Happy New Year Everybody!

The new year is starting out great for me…I’ve been pulled back into my old hustle of making customized mixtapes. I had so much fun with this one. This is the story:

One of my good friends L put me in touch one of her friends who was having a cruise ship wedding. When it was determined that my schedule wouldn’t allow me to go to DJ for her, she still wanted a mixtape of her and the groom’s favorite songs done by me. She arranged for the ship’s DJ to allow her to play the cd. Now I know he ain’t gonna be happy when he see them having a ball to my set and sitting during his…but…that’s not my problem.

We contracted a nice rate, she sent me her list of 50 songs. I pared that down to 34 and I produced a pretty tight mix. Matter of fact…the mix was so good I needed to share it with yall too. It has everything on it from hip-hop to soca. A little reggae, some R&B and of course some old school. This is not the final mix that I’m producing for her but it will be very similar with specialized drops and such.

I will be hyping my customized mixtapes for hire in the future so i hope you email me at djdivathemixtress@gmail.com if you have need for something special. For my friend L I made her cds for her 30th b’day with a song from each year of her birth. She gave them out a party favors on her b’day trip to Vegas! I’m also excited about this because I know my niche is small parties and weddings. There will be more info forthcoming about contracting me for that.

Enjoy the mix!

As usual…every mix has a theme and I love when the idea blossoms! This week’s mix actually started last week during a conversation with my sister Divalicious. We was talking about the past and we both started singing “LOOOOOVE then le-eave them” from Fire and Desire. We added more songs to the list and this mix was born.

I love a good collabo!

So this week’s mix is all about cheating songs. Nuff said! Enjoy and don’t get caught! I don’t wanna read about none of yall in the news!

Believe me this is worth watching for the whole time length but it really heats up around the end..

These chicks sat here and dissed each other for 5+ minutes!

Breasts implants, Botox, nose jobs and the “Angry Black Woman” stereotype. Just everything they could think of to sling in each other’s faces!

Did you expect any less from Wendy? She gives good show…

However I am strangely reminded of the Whitney Houston interview on the radio a few years back. Whitney shut her down too…something fierce!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

 
Now that was some good shit too and I believe it also helped Whitney take a good look at herself.

and since this was in the catfight category…here’s a good one for you:

How to break up a catfight:

I read a post recently by DJ Stylus where he said that he refuses requests to play R. Kelly while he’s spinning. He based it on how he felt about R. Kelly’s troubles with the law and his fondness for young girls. Now while I understood how he felt, I also thought that it was a little harsh. After all, music is music. No one stopped playing Michael Jackson because he liked little boys. We didn’t stop listening to Whitney Houston because she smoked crack and we also loved Biggie although he sold it. I personally don’t look at the personal lives of artists to enjoy their art. If we did, we probably wouldn’t look at any paintings or listen to any music because we all know that artists tend to have pretty messed up lifestyles or desires.

That said, while I was thinking of these things the idea of R. Kelly as the King of the Remix began to form in my head. As I went through my mental discography, I kept coming up with more hits done by the R. Of course I put them all together and this mixtape was born. Say what you want but R. Kelly consistently gives us good music. Well good in my eyes. Sure most of it has x-rated lyrics or sexual undertones…but that’s what we’ve always loved about him right?  Well these are some of my favorites:
