DJ Drama is more than a name. It s a brand one that music aficionados the world over have come to respect and trust. Over the course of his illustrious career, DJ Drama, born Tyree Simmons, has carved out a lane for himself as the undisputed ear of the streets. Blessed with an uncanny knack for identifying raw talent, the Atlanta-based jock has been ahead of the musical curve for more than a decade, curating classic mixtapes that have helped catapult emerging artists into the mainstream spotlight or solidified an already established MC s place in hip-hop history. Powered by the raucous lead single Wishing, featuring Chris Brown, Skeme and Lyquin, Quality Street Music 2 is poised to live up to its title and further bolster Drama s brand. Says Drama: For me to put together guys that I work with closely and who also signify what quality street music is was important. I ve come up in a climate where record sales haven t been the highest, especially for DJ albums. I feel like my last body of work was a success based on when I walk down the streets and people say, Yo, your album was crazy, or other DJs tell me the same. When the critics and the people give it a thumbs up, that s how I ll know I ve delivered that quality street music.
