JAIME ENDICK: Hi. I’m Jaime Endick with Gearwire.Com. I’m here with Jazzy Jay from Rane.
JAZZY JAY: Jazzy Jay from the mighty, mighty Zulu nation, Bronx, New York. Often imitated but never quite duplicated. We represent for Rane today, you know what I’m saying, because, you know what I’m saying, we got the best in the digital -- from analog you’re making that cross-over from analog to digital, this is one of the best products on the market that you can actually just go ahead and get and be up in that digital demise.
JAIME ENDICK: Jazzy Jay, tell me, for all the people that aren’t really familiar with your work, tell me a little bit about your, your legacy.
JAZZY JAY: Oh, man. Well, you know, basically started, started out plugging in to lamp post back in the days with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa who heard Grandmaster Flash. Grand Wizzard Theodore, Theodore, you know, Red Alert, the original pioneers. From there we worked our way up to like, instead of just performing in little gymnasiums, high schools, little small venues, we started going from there into, into a lot of bigger, bigger clubs like the Roxy’s, the Grill underground in Manhattan. And then from there, it’s just like once we hooked up with the [INDISCERNIBLE] the Roxy’s, they let us into like movie deals such as Beach Street, Wild Style...
JAIME ENDICK: Wow.
JAZZY JAY: ...and a number of movies that, you know, always hip-hop-related. But it was like a groundbreaking era up until like the point where thus became music on -- on vinyl on music on wax so to speak. And you know, the rest is history. Hip hop, we’re selling a little bit of about everything from canned goods to good cause. Who knows, you know?
JAIME ENDICK: All right, all right.
