Some DJs chase the culture. DJ Kast One was born in it.

This week the Heavy Hitters break down Kast One’s journey from growing up blocks away from where hip hop was born to finding his place beside DJ Enuff at Hot 97. From graffiti and backwards DJ setups to college radio, crate carrying, and Gleason’s nights in the Bronx, the crew tells the real story of how friendship, opportunity, and hip hop changed everything.

Bronx roots. Hot 97 nights. Heavy Hitters history.

The story doesn't stop at the origin… this is legacy in real time.

This week two more Heavy Hitters tap in with DJ Lonnie B and Aliyah the DJ – a father-daughter duo proving the culture don’t just grow… it gets passed down. From mixtapes and radio runs to TikTok crowds and 15-second attention spans, it’s two generations playing the same game with different rules.

They talk global DJ life, adapting to new crowds, and what it really means to build your own name, even when the legacy already hits different.

Same roots. New wave. Heavy Hitters for real.
