DJ CRAZE: If the first thing you know about Craze is that he’s the only solo DJ to win the DMC World Championships three times over, prepare to get yourself schooled. His family fled Nicaragua for the US when he was 3 in the midst of a civil war, suffered through Hurricane Andrew in ’92, the US’s costliest hurricane at the time, and was a total nerd through his teenage years. But while others would chalk this up to a lifetime of hurt, Craze let it fuel his passion. Instead of giving up, he slayed the DMC’s when he was just 20. Two more DMC wins later, Time Magazine named him “America’s Best DJ”. He went on to rack up more than 8.5 million views on his Traktor YouTube videos alone, and Kanye West took him on tour as his own personal DJ. As if that wasn’t enough, he started Slow Roast Records with Kill The Noise, an imprint of the infamous Fool’s Gold Records.

FOUR COLOR ZACK: Anyone on Jazzy Jeff’s list of favorite DJs should need little introduction, but we’ll indulge you anyhow. Four Color Zack most notably took out the world Red Bull Thre3Style championship in 2012, though he’s got more tricks up his sleeve than just being a world-class DJ. The Seattle native also makes his own tunes, has released an EP along with DJ Scene on Fool’s Gold and is the co-owner and designer for his skate shop, Alive & Well.
