_______________________________________________________
Down By Law is a collective of vocalists, musicians, DJs, and producers based in Decatur, GA. The core of this unit, the DJs, have gained notoriety by spinning at the finest spots in such exotic locales as Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and Vincenza; and infamy spinning at your local hole-in-the-wall club, keeping one hand on the tables, the other on the pistol, and two eyes on that single exit. (Y’all know what I’m talking about.) DBL is also fortunate to have held down various radio shows as well as manned the wheels in support of Biz Markie, Luke, Too Short, Kilo, and Def Comedy Jam. We currently keep the streets hot with the Spring Again, Hip Hop Classics, and Beatin’ Up The Block mixtape series (among others).
Many members of The Law also form like Voltron to make up the seldom seen PowerBorn Promotions. Under the tutelage of mentors and colleagues such as Sean Bouldin, Joe Lewis, Lisa McCall, Kevin Black, and Talib Shabazz, we’ve learned how to illegally snipe buildings, harass secretaries, and dodge police at 3 in the morning. Of course, we’ve picked up a few more practical things such as radio & retail marketing, event planning, research, etc. (blah) Anyway, this led to us working with a diverse list of clients including Ice Cube, Slum Village, Sounds Of Blackness, C-Bo, Chaka Khan, Scarface, Angie Stone, God Lives Underwater, and Shaquille Oneal.
Finally, recording out of The Blue Room and Sincere Sound Labs, we have done turntable work, production, programming, and engineering on various indie projects. Our next step? Your spot. BEWARE OF MY CREW.
