17 DJ Sharad: The 12-Page PowerPoint

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:00:00 -0400

DJ Sharad walked into his first meeting with DJ Enuff holding a 12-page PowerPoint. Graphs. Charts. His wife made him do it. Enuff spent the next few years quietly terrified of him. This week the Heavy Hitters get the whole story, plus the $10,000 studio design a rapper took and had AI rebuild.

16 Three, That's the Magic Number

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 15:00:00 -0400

The fantastic trio. Kast One, Enuff and Camilo hold it down while L. Boogs defends his title as the greatest ghost in the game.

Enuff watched Fuerza Regida turn Citi Field into a hip hop show, 50 Cent and Bobby Shmurda included. Camilo unplugged in Aruba, climbed 740 steps in Guatapé, and came home to run earthquake relief for Colombia. Kast One jumped into Antarctic water in swim trunks, because his wife went first and everybody was watching.

Then Complex left Big Daddy Kane off the greatest beats list, and nobody in this room is getting over it.

15 DJ E Feezy: It's All Enuff's Fault

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:00:00 -0400

Before Miami, before Cash Money, DJ E Feezy was a summer-school kid who talked his way into a BET internship and straight up stole the Heavy Hitter drop. He pulls up with DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs to trace the whole run: the checklist that earned his co-sign, the Louisville night he dodged a bullet, and the leap from the booth to A&R. Blame Enuff.

14 The-Dream: The Craft Will Outlive It All

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 15:00:00 -0400

The-Dream pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast, and he came to talk his craft. The hit maker behind "Umbrella," a catalog of Beyoncé records, and Love Hate 2 breaks down why he's not afraid of AI, the eight-year-old DJ story that ended his career on his mom's Salt-N-Pepa record, and how you build a legacy brick by brick. Longtime music exec Yvette "Evie" Dávila joins the room with the stories only she can tell.

13 DJ Yonny: Restless

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:00:00 -0400

DJ Yonny has had about five careers. Power 105 and La Calle at the same time. Dance radio with Star and Buc Wild. Top 40, TV, international. Then he walked away from all of it to produce in LA, met Poo Bear by accident, and built a Latin party in Hollywood nobody thought would work. Now he's in Colombia making records with Afro Latin artists and coaching DJs on how to do the same thing. He sits with DJ Kast One, L. Boogs and DJ Wallah and covers the parts nobody talks about: living in his recording studio, showering at the gym, and building an Airbnb business so he'd never wait on a promoter to pay him again. Catch the full episode on Apple, Spotify, YouTube & MerrickStudios.com.

12 DJ Hollyhood Bay Bay: Part 1

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:00:00 -0400

Hollyhood Bay Bay pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast, and Part 1 is all origin story. From private school and the marching band press box in Shreveport to the radio booth, the club, and the night "A Bay Bay" was born, he breaks down how one man learned to move a whole room without ever raising his voice. High energy, real talk, and the roots of an entertainer the South already knew.

Subscribe, rate the show, and share it with someone who cares about the roots of what moves us. Part 2 coming soon.

11 DJ Bonics: Sharing the Stage

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:00:00 -0400

DJ Bonics has run with Wiz Khalifa as his tour DJ for over 15 years. He came up in Philly, learned the craft in Pittsburgh, and walked away from a full-time radio job to bet on the road. He sits with DJ Kast One, DJ Enuff, and DJ Camilo to talk about sharing the stage without losing yourself, doing your homework in rooms from Shanghai to Hamburg, and lasting in a young man's game. Community over ego.

10 T.I.: Kill the King

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0400

The King taps in. T.I. joins the Heavy Hitter DJs to talk Kill the King, the final album he named back in 2001, and why the title is really about killing the ego, not closing the door. He gets into 25 years in the game, American Gangster and Denzel, working with Chris Robinson and Hype Williams, raising Damani and King, the Pharrell sessions, and an NBA Youngboy mentorship that turned into a record. Then Enuff, Camilo, Kast One, and L. Boogs break down a united New York: the Knicks, the parade, and World Cup summer. Kill the King drops June 26.

09 DJ Wallah: The Sixth Borough

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0400

DJ Wallah pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs podcast. The Newark native built his own lane before anyone handed him one, throwing his own parties as a teenager when the top DJs had every booking locked up. He breaks down how Jersey club broke out of Brick City and went on to shape some of the biggest records in the country, the 20,000 flyers a month that put him on Raymo and Lonnie B's radar, and the co-sign from Mr. C and DJ Enuff that made him a Heavy Hitter. He gets into his first nervous night on Hot 97, becoming the official DJ for the New York Giants, the Branson lives that pulled in 50 Cent, his ties to Naughty by Nature, and why every DJ coming out of Jersey still has to talk to the guy with the W. DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs sit down with the man who put Jersey on his back.

Catch Wallah and Friends at NJPAC on June 26.

08 Buju Banton: Too Too Bad and Built to Last

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:00:00 -0400

Buju Banton pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs podcast. The reggae and dancehall legend breaks down his new album Too Too Bad, out July 17 on VP Records, the Butterflies single, and why he split the record into three separate rollouts for CD, vinyl, and streaming. He gets into the 90s New York scene when reggae and hip hop ran hand in hand, the philosophy that keeps him reinventing himself across four decades, the Kanye record that came together during COVID, his tribute to Mr. Bogle, and the boys home he funds back in Jamaica. DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs sit down with one of the most enduring voices in the music.

Too Too Bad drops July 17. Real drum, real bass, back to foundation.

07 Rene McLean: The Business of Music vs The Music Business

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:00:00 -0400

Rene McLean, aka RPM, is one of the architects most people never hear about. He put DJ Enuff on, broke records at Virgin, RCA and Electra, started rapping the vans before anyone else, and built the Mix Show Power Summit into the industry monster Jay-Z name dropped years later. He also ran the two room office on 38th Street where the Heavy Hitters, the record pool, the magazine and Dipset mixtapes all happened at once. This week he sits with L. Boogs, DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, and DJ Kast One to walk the whole run, from a $30 a week internship to buying catalogs with BlackRock. Tap in.

Thu, 21 May 2026 15:00:00 -0400

DJ Steph Cakes, Power 105.1's Late Night Snack and the first female DJ repping Yonkers on a major NYC station, pulls up to The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast.

Steph sits with L. Boogs, DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, and DJ Kast One to break down her whole come-up: LimeWire mixtapes, faking a school letter to intern twice at Power 105, running errands for Angie Martinez, leaving AT&T for the DJ life, and learning the fundamentals from DJ Bones. She also gets into her first big gig at Cliff (and the night she left her laptop there), being a female DJ in uptown, the years-long Heavy Hitter courtship from Camilo and Pretty Lou, her flag football league, gaming streams, and the legend of "Caramel Dropa."

Tu Bizcochito Favorito, in the building.

03 DJ Kast One: From the Bronx to the Heavy Hitters

Thu, 07 May 2026 15:00:00 -0400

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.

02 DJ Lonnie B and Aliyah the DJ: Legacy in Motion

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0400

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.
