Certified Hitz Music Group and DJ Bad Tha Problem announce the release of 'Turn Up Music [EDM Edition] Volume 13' Mixtape, out now on streaming platforms. Listeners prepare to turn the volume all the way up and press repeat on this epic dose of Hip Hop and EDM mixes. Also, check out the full interview below with DJ Bad Tha Problem and connect with him on all platforms.
MJ: Before we jump into your new
mixtape “Turn Up Music [EDM Edition] Vol. 13”, tell us what it’s like
being a DJ in one of the hottest cities in the country? I know there’s nothing
like home base, but do you have other favorite hot spots you DJ at?
DJ Bad Tha Problem: Being a DJ in Florida is a
lot of fun compared to being a DJ in my home state NJ. I have had offers to DJ
at a few clubs around my city but turned those down to focus on making mixtapes,
working with my two artists, building brands and networking, etc.
MJ: “Turn Up Music [EDM Edition] Vol. 13”,
what can listeners and fans expect from this mixtape? This is volume 13, shed
some light on how you keep fans coming back for more.
DJ Bad Tha Problem: Fans and listeners can
expect a lot of certified hitz from “Turn Up Music [EDM Edition] Vol. 13”. It
is not just your typical EDM tape. If you’re a fan of EDM and Hip Hop, you’ll
be getting the best of both worlds, not just on this volume but in the whole
“Turn Up Music [EDM Edition]” mixtape series. This mixtape series has by far
been the most successful series I’ve ever put together. I have been overwhelmed
by the numbers and the support behind this mixtape series. Shout out to all the
people who have listened and downloaded any of the previous volumes and shout
out to the bootleggers too. I am currently working on the next volume which I
should be releasing sometime in 2022 probably in late January or early
February.
MJ: Your next show is on January 8th at Karma
Sutra Lounge in NYC, please share all that 411!
DJ Bad Tha Problem: January 8th is going to be a
spectacular certified event. Me and my artist City The Great will be holding a
mixtape/album release party not just for our project “Respectfully Yours”, but
for my artist debut album “The Wordsmith” under the legendary Special Ed’s
label SEMedia. The event will be held at the Karma Sutra Lounge in NYC, from 7
pm to 2 am. Expect live performances from City The Great and the artists under
Certified Nation Ent, great food and drinks, and nothing but good music. DJ
Buena Vida and I will be on the 1’s and 2’s. We will be having some surprise
celebrity guests at the event. I cannot disclose who will be in attendance,
however, If you want to find out you will have to be there for yourself…free
entry! I mean who doesn’t like free stuff, am I right? Plus, we will be
celebrating my artist’s birthday.
MJ: You don’t only wear the hat as DJ and
CEO, but you’re also a producer and A&R. It’s not uncommon for us to play
various roles in the music industry, do you favor one role more than the other?
Does one present more challenges than the others?
DJ Bad Tha Problem: I personally don’t favor one
role over the other. I enjoy all the roles I play equally. The only role that
presents more of a challenge for me is being a producer. The challenge that I
have is sitting down and taking time to make my own music from scratch. I have
dabbled with making beats for a while now, even gotten my first placement with
an indie artist I was working with at the time but haven’t really taken it
seriously. I plan on changing that next year. I’ve helped produce other
artist’s projects in the past even helped produce some of the tracks on City
The Great’s upcoming mixtape “Respectfully Yours”. And no, I’m not
talking about strictly just making beats. There is a big difference between
being a beatmaker and a producer. However, I am not just a DJ, CEO, Producer,
and A&R. I do pretty much everything by myself and have been for a very
long time. From videos, audio engineering, promoting, building websites,
etc., I used to do graphics too but not anymore. I have a main graphic designer
now. Shout out to MefDesigns. Doing everything by myself can be challenging,
tiring, and sometimes stressful but I love music. I don’t have the time to wait
on anyone.
MJ: Is there anything else you would like
to share with the world?
DJ Bad Tha Problem: Expect a lot more mixtape
projects from me next year and be on the lookout for City The Great’s mixtape
titled “Respectfully Yours” hosted by yours truly, dropping January 8th on all
streaming platforms…Turn Up Music [EDM Edition] Vol. 14 is coming real soon as
well as Love & R&B Vol. 27. I have a new mixtape series in the works, I
am still working out all the details, and I will be bringing back the mixtape
series “Definition Of A Hustler” featuring a lot of dope independent artists,
so stay tuned and be on the lookout for that!
