In a candid conversation with Trap Lore Ross, DJ Vlad opened up about the interviews he’s most proud of—and those that left him conflicted. Vlad shared that some interviews, particularly with individuals suffering from cognitive or speech impairments, weigh heavily on him. For instance, his recent sit-down with Terry Watanabe, a former multimillionaire battling addiction and health issues, was difficult. Vlad respected the importance of sharing Watanabe’s story despite the challenges in communication, even though these types of interviews don’t always sit well with him.

On the flip side, Vlad highlighted his most proud moment: brokering a groundbreaking interview with arch-rivals Terence “Gangster Williams” and Lil Diesel. With NYPD officers providing security, Vlad facilitated a mature and honest dialogue that led to reconciliation. The two former enemies even became roommates, a transformation Vlad cherishes as a testament to the positive impact his platform can have beyond just storytelling.
