DJ JS-1 "I RUN NY mix" For those of you who have seen me djay or follow any of my works, you have definitely seen me rocking
my "I RUN NY" shirts. My boy Carlos, who i've known for a while, has his company www.ClassicMaterialNY.com,
and they make incredible hiphop themed shirts and hoodies. They have many great designs so many of us love and i suggest you check it out for real. His shirts have become my "dj uniform" the past two years. hahaha... Well the "I RUN NY" design, has always been my favorite for obvious reasons. I'm a diehard old skool new yorker that grew up idolizing RUN DMC & JMJ. At the same time i have been a Knicks fan as far back as i can remember. I can remember watching games before Patrick Ewing came, and how excited everyone was when he joined the Knicks. When Carlos told me he was re-releasing the "I RUN NY" shirt in classic Knicks / Mets colors, i was even more excited. The release coincides with the start of the NBA season and our new-look Knicks featuring Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler, the best front court in the NBA. I've been meaning to do an all-New York themed mix, and this was the time to do it! Especially now as our new addition at point guard, Asian Harvard graduate, JEREMY LIN, has been thrust into the spotlight and doing work! Thank you Super LINtendo for bringing LINSANITY to MSG! Lets Go Knicks!!!

I know it's become trendy over the past decade to try and diss New York, and some other parts of the country have been "feelin" themselves a lil bit because cornball down-south beats are ruling pop-radio, but let's be serious for a minute... New York is the place where stars are born. If you make it here, you can make it anywhere... No disrepect to any other city, i've been to every major and mid-level city in the US and enjoyed many of them, but most of these clowns that are successful would never even get a foot in the door if they lived where i lived. It's easy to be the best dj or the popular rapper when you come from a city as small as pittsburgh, etc... I could win a marathon with 5 people in it, but try to win one with 1 million people in it. New York is the birthplace of hiphop and the mecca of basketball. That is just the facts. Many of the greatest bball players of all time and ALL the greatest MCees of all time are from New York or the surrounding tri-state area. period.
We're not dissing other places, but I'm not gonna jump on any bandwagon like sooo many New York rappers and djays have. I'm proud of the style of hiphop we make, and the contributions and trends we set forth. I'm also proud and happy to live in and do what i set out to do in the greatest city in the world. There's a reason everyone wants to come here.

So i made this mix using all NY themed songs. I know there is many songs that represent New York or the overall vibe of NY, but i limited the mix to songs that are specifically about New York. I also left out a few because of time constraints and personal preference. Maybe i'll do a part 2 one day. I hope you enjoy the mix and hope this brings a lil bit of the NY vibe to your ears...

With that being said, i would like to also thank Amare Stoudemire for being the first NBA super-star to have the balls to come to NY in a long time and put the Knicks on his back last year, not fearing all the media scrutiny and insane pressure. I know he got paid 100mil, lol, but soo many others passed on the job because they fear the real spotlight. I am soo happy with how he is helping transform the culture of NY basketball at MSG and how he is conducting himself off the court, and on the court for sure! Thank you Amare, now lets get it!!!!!! We got SHUMPERT, LIN, CHANDLER, n MELO all ready to go to war! Can't wait for Baron to get healthy!

P.S. i would also like to apologize for playing a remake of "black n yellow" on this mix, lol, but it's a Knicks song, "stat n melo" and i had too. Those that know me, know i cringe and feel sick when i hear songs like black n yellow. you know what it is....

please visit www.CLASSICMATERIALNY.com and check out all the awesome shirts & hoodies... TRUST ME, he got treats from the Supreme Clientel, RIP Guru, More Guns Than Roses, Illuminati, Real Djays, I RUN NY shirts and many many more.
