DJ A.Vee - Yeah But Does He DJay? Mixtape (1996)

Thanks to A.Vee for the quality rip, I've used my own cassette cover for the tracklisting above.


This mix marks an era in time where I was newly made aware of the worldwide potential of taking part in the whole mixtape scene. I credit the owner & founder of  Fat Beats, Joseph Abajian for encouraging me to make mixes featuring the independent underground artist who never got the well deserved visibility in the commercial market. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to Fat Beats for being the vehicle to many of the accomplishments I achieved in this field of music. I'm not too sure where I would be without this store. Also big shouts to my boy DJ Riz...the title "Yeah,But Does He DJay?" is something we use to ask when  describing a random person riding the DJ title without possessing any true DJ skills. Keep in mind this was done way before Logic Audio, Pro-Tools, & CD's...this was available only on cassette tape at that time.
