On the streets of Queens, NYC (Corona/East Elmhurst to be exact), a mixtape star has risen up to claim the R&B crown, and his name is FINE$$E. DJ FINE$$E was given his smooth moniker due to the way he quickly learned and “finessed†the art of DJing. It was back in 1996 that FINE$$E began to learn about the art of DJing from an old time pro, his father. His father bought him his first set of DJ equipment, and then taught him how to utilize that equipment in the most impressive way. FINE$$E learned how to mix and blend on the turntables, how to customize his own speakers, and how to hook up his equipment to get the best sound, all from his own father.
Three short years later, inspired by such blend mixtape DJs as ONPOINT, BOO DA BARBER, and K-BLACK; FINE$$E took a stab at creating his own blend mixtape. By January 2001, his name began to gain recognition in the streets. This pushed him to capitalize on his newfound success and look into doing other types of mixtapes as well. FINE$$E eventually decided that R&B was the way to go. However, instead of just copying the R&B mixtape style that was already out there, he decided to forge ahead with his own take on the slow jam scene. That first foray into the R&B mixtape world was so successful for FINE$$E, that he quickly followed up with another. Soon enough, DJ FINE$$E was known for dropping an R&B/Blends mix CD every month. He was officially a fixture in the mixtape business.
In September 2001, FINE$$E introduced his fans to the highly successful slow jam CD series entitled “Platinum Slow Jamsâ€. The intense demand for these particular CDs prompted his decision to only focus on making slow jams/R&B CDs going forward. His move paid off. Just two months later, in the fall of 2001, FINE$$E was nominated for “Best R&B Mixtape DJ†for the first time in his illustrious mixtape career. Other nominations followed in 2002, and again in 2003, which this led to more and more complete sell-outs and re-orders of each installment of his “Platinum Slow Jams†series.
FINE$$E finally had his day and won the “Best R&B Mixtape DJ†award in March of 2004 at the 9th Annual Justo’s Mixtapes Awards Ceremony. That highly deserved award began to open many other doors for FINE$$E. His dreams were finally being realized as he appeared on BET for the “Rap City Memorial Day Special†that same year.
Now that FINE$$E was established on his own, he decided to truly solidify his presence in the music industry by collaborating with others to form “Hustle Clubâ€. In April of 2005, DJ FINE$$E teamed up with KEYZ & TAPEMASTERS INC. to form a collective of mixtape DJs who are the best at what they do, and, in their own words, “can’t be stoppedâ€. As a group, “Hustle Club†covers the best in R&B, Hip Hop, Instrumentals, Blends, Concepts, Reggaeton, and Dirty South mixtapes.
Things continue to shine for FINE$$E. In 2006, FINE$$E even began to expand his DJ empire overseas. His travels have now taken him all over Europe to DJ parties and shows for various clients. And most recently, in January 2007, FINE$$E won the award for “Best Slow Jams Mixtape DJ†at the Southern Entertainment Awards.
DJ FINE$$E has now dropped 100+ CDs pushing over 500,000 units worldwide during the course of his short career… and he’s STILL GOING STRONG!!! He has definitely earned his title of “The Untouchable R&B Mixtape King a/k/a The Ladies Choiceâ€. DJ FINE$$E also has done modeling for various clothing lines like GILYARD MFG CLOTHING. You can catch him in 2006 issues of KING, XXL, SCRATCH, VIBE magazine & more.DJ FINE$$E also has done modeling for various clothing lines like GILYARD MFG CLOTHING.
