DJ DRIZZLE

An interview was sent my way by Big Heff, nothing new… in fact this was one of 3 that day. I usually enjoy interacting with artists, learning and enlightening my knowledge on new people and things I didn’t know about.

Every now and then you get a challenge, not in so much of your skills but in your patience in dealing with certain types of people. I am so glad I am “Girlfriends Talk” and I love what I do and because of this I get to rise above egos ...and address them at the same time.

Like I told “DJ Drizzle”, I’m going to make it do what it do regardless with that said for those who haven’t heard of “DJ Drizzle “ it is obvious the guy has great skills and talent. He seem to be a very smart individual so let me share with you all what I have learned about this individual.
