Interview: Go Dj Dip

Everyone knows that success starts somewhere, I had the chance to interview one of the very first Go DJ's and boy was that a very good interview. Check it out and enjoy :)

Tae: 

For those who are not familiar with Go DJ Dip, tell us a little about yourself. 

Go DJ Dip:
I'm from Dallas, Oak Cliff off Camp Wisdom and Polk, I've been dj-ing since I was 16 and I'm a pretty laid back cat, just like my tattoo says, A-1 Since Day 1, I'm the last of a dying breed you know.  I've been a Go DJ since 2005, as a matter of fact, I was one of the first Go DJ's.  (laughs) DJ Hi-C was my mentor at the time.

Tae:

What makes you stand out from other DJ's?

Go DJ Dip:
Most definitely my personality and the feeling that I leave you with after you meet me. I have an aura about myself, something like a glow. Shit, I'm me.

Tae:

Where did you get your name and what made it stick?

Go DJ Dip:
My name was given to me by the people, like literally, the public and it was accepted. My nickname was Chip, and some people just started saying Dip. I used to host a mixtape for a rapper named Lil Tex, and on one of his songs he said "DJ Dip" and people started hearing it. I didn't ask for the name, it was given to me.

Tae:

What inspired you to become a DJ?

Go DJ Dip:
 I like to have fun, the fact that I can have fun and make money. DJ-ing gave me an outlet on who I am as a person. When I talk, people listen, I have a voice and I loved the feeling I got when I did it for the first time. I met Dj Hi-C helped and taught me a lot, I have to pay major homage to him. He made me who I am today. He taught me the in's and out's of the game and how to be patient. Thank you man.

Tae:

What kind of equipment do you use?

Go DJ Dip:
I use CDJ's, no turntables. I'm an 80's baby, I've never touched a vinyl, I use serato, CDJ, a mixer and a laptop and it's going DOWN.

Tae:

What type of music do you like to play the most?

Go DJ Dip:
Man, the music that I listen to, I play what the people wanna hear, 8Ball, MJG, late 90's and Trap Music, Big Chief, Underground and Urban music.

Tae:

What kind of advice would you like to give upcoming DJ's and or artists?

Go DJ Dip:
Be patient. Be patient. Be patient, you never know who's watching you whether there's 4 or 400, you never know and be yourself.

Tae:

How can people get in touch with you?

Go DJ Dip:
