With an ear to the streets and expert hands commanding the ones and twos, DJ Double R emerged from San Antonio, TX. A veteran of the industry for the past 7 years, his focus and hustle takes you back to a time when shell toe Addidas were the standard uniform in hip hop. “I loved listening to hip hop growing up. In the South, there was Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG and UGK.†He readily admits though his greatest influencers stem from the East coast. Producer Dame Grease, DJ Clue, and DJ Kid Capri quickly surface in the conversation. “I researched and studied their work… It would always surprise people to hear that I am from Texas.†Under close review of his catalog, popular artists’ like Young Jeezy, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, and Lil Flip add that extra Dirty South flava. When prompted about why artists would do exclusive tracks for a mix tape? He says “money [motivates artists] especially if they know you can sell units.†In addition, “they can come harder [on the songs] because it does not have to be commercialâ€. Most artists trying to break into the business stay on the grind. He too started out going to Mom and Pop shops building relationships manually locating distribution points. After meeting with record labels and understanding that units sold are a high priority, he altered his strategy. Like a peacock strutting his feathers, he proudly admits that “I am one of very few DJs who have distribution through Soundscan. Every time, someone picks up a cd, the numbers [are tabulated]. You can pick my stuff up at Best Buy. Right now, I am at around 24,000 units.†Unlike DJs who release cds every other week, he prefers to promote one cd until the market is saturated by it. Then he releases something new which usually translates into 3 to 4 times a year. His work schedule could rival that of a circus performer juggling multiple tasks effortlessly. His production company is called Fyngermade Productions. There he works closely with his partner Brian “Fyngas†Jackson to groom upcoming artists. His latest project Envy Me includes several tracks by Lil Flip and guest appearances by his protégé Bugsy. By its title, it is already sparking interest. Following suit with other record labels, he strategically builds anticipation for his artists before releasing a cd for them. Through a series of guest appearances artists gain notoriety. These days in the music industry “moving the crowd†is not enough to sustain oneself. Artists have to talented with a strong work ethic and have some serious business savvy. Whether DJ Double R will make it to the next level only time will tell. But one thing is for certain, he has work ethic, talent, and business knowledge to get him there.
