Monday Mixtape: DJ Diva’s Best of 2008
Welcome to the Last Monday Mixtape of the year! I had so much fun this year doing these new music compilation mixtapes. In case you missed them: February Jams April Rain June Jackin Back to School November Swerve December Remix I have been told I have a talent for picking hits. This could be true by looking at the lists and seeing many songs that have ended up banging on the radio. Also I have been critisized for not cutting and scratching…so in the first half of the mix I experimented with some cutting and special effects…ehh…we’ll see if I do it again. 2009 will bring my one year anniversary on the mixtress…I’m even shocked that I stuck with it this long and didn’t go back to personal blogging. It’s been fun but of course the game has to be stepped up! Look for changes and for all of yall tired of one track mixes…I got something for yall too…
I want to thank my fellow podcasters and especially my husband for supplying me great drops for this mix…I didn’t bother putting on a intro and outro because you guys hyped me more than I ever could!
Scribe (My Husband), Fave, Mr. Fresh, Darrenkeith, Todd Kelley….I inadvertently left out my mentor EJ Flavors…But yall know that not only is he my Sensei but he is one of my real friends! Of course I have a reason for every song I play and this time I decided to share those tidbits with you!!!! Happy New Year and I look forward to bringing you more hot new jams in 09!
