DJ BAZOOKA JOE AKA TRUCK JEWLS
Born in BX, NY. Hip-Hop junkie and collector since 1982. Started out with a Fearless Four record and a fisher price turntable before the invention of the glorious double cassette boom box, where I began crafting "pause" tapes, as we used to call them back in the day. Inspired by mixtape pioneers like Kid Capri, Action PAC, DJ S&S, Tony Touch, DJ Double R & G-Bo The Pro, as well as the Golden Era of Hip Hop radio (Mr. Magic, Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Stretch & Bob).Did "Hip Hop Theater" radio show at Villanova University from 93-96, then did 'Truck Jewls' line of underground mixtapes & CD's (Who remembers the DVD-like double cassette cases - holla at me!!).

10 years in the game and still fresh. DJ Bazooka Joe comes with his most innovative project to date. The same man behind the critically acclaimed "Silver Album: Jay-Z vs RJD2" is back with a double mix CD for the ages celebrating a decade long career as one of the most creative DJ's in Hip-Hop. Packed to the rim with remixes, mash-ups and re-edits, Progressive Retro will take the listener on a trip through various eras in Hip-Hop in a very unfamiliar way. Bazooka Joe proves that vinyl (& cassettes in some cases) is still a Real DJ's best friend as he renovates classic Hip-Hop 12"'s by revisiting some old rhyme styles and production techniques and blending them together in a way that sounds authentic, new and fresh. Progressive Retro also features some older remixes from previous mix CD's including Black Sheep's "Love Is Love" and the Truck Jewls series.
