The arena sold out jam-packed with over 40,000 hip hop fanatics! From this point on, it was clear that a star DJ was emerging.
For the past 3 years, Young Native has been entertaining and inspiring millions of people as the official DJ for the sought after and award winning mix show Beneath The Surface on KJACK. Young Native also graces international airwaves with 4 weekly spots on Conspiracy UK Radio which broadcasts his innovative sound during peak traffic hours in Nottingham.

Seven Deadly
Seven was born and raised in East Harlem (aka Spanish Harlem) New York City aka New Jack City. Born in 79 when Hip-Hop was coming on strong, while the government was trying to crush the Black Power movements. Crack was hitting the blocks hard in the 80s all over the country. Harlem was no different. Born to a father who was a form SNCC member, involved in the civil rights movement and a mother who was straight from Puerto Rico, an Puerto rican Independence supporter.Seven got involved with Hip-Hop at an early age. Running with Zulu Nation really exposing him to the elements of hip-hop such as Djing,Graft, MC, Already having established himself as a drummer he got involved more into hip-hop. Taking part in MC battles, B-boys, etc. Been doing the hip-hop thing every since. Nation and Gods and Earth and the Hebrew Israelite exposed me to the science of life. Currently Im doing the radio show gig. Promoting really Hip-Hop not the corny shit you hear all the fucking time.I look young, got that youthful look to me but I was born in 79 I clearly remeber the 80s( little kid with good memory) when shit was real.

in the dayz of metal and crap on the radio! when the fad died that was “breakin†all there was left was me. I couldn’t shake off SUCKER MC and I couldn’t get enough of WILD STYLE. Knowing what I saw from hearing hip hop and seeing those moviez then turning around and seeing nothing but wannabe metal headz I realize i was going to have to bring the NOISZ.So with that came the dream of DEEJAYIN again for years nothing, maybe a handful of people were in the game. when I wasn’t tring to be the next FLASH, or JAZZY JAY id rock my skribz and perfect the ARRO. My skilz on the tablez when so far until my shit got stolen! So with that I went to school learned my trade and placed my CRAFT into it an into it and DAMN GRAFx was born.NIZHO GRAFX
