DJs

DJ Know1

Since first touching down on WKSR (Kent State University) in 1996 as G-Squared, dj kNow1 (Greg Norman) has aspired to carry on the legacy of Hip Hops greatest tastemakers and party-rockers. This focus earned the young Dj the position of Urban Music Director at KSR before graduating from Kent in 1999. G-Squared transitioned quickly into work in radio promotions/production and a Friday night club gig in Clevelands Flats as part of Attichead Productions, a collective representing his hometown of Lakewood. Veteran Dj Besto had taken the rookie on as an understudy and opener at the weekly, sharing his vast knowledge of cutting, mixing and song selection. G-Squared soon felt called to take on a more meaningful Dj moniker, changing to dj kNow1 in 2000 as a reference to his goals of maintaining humility while striving to utilize his talent. Still rocking parties with Besto and The Atticheads, kNow1 cut his teeth in the mix tape game with a release in the spring of 2000. The Cypher was an unprecedented concept: 90 minutes of instrumentals mixed and blended, ready for freestyle and battle session use. The Cypher became kNow1s calling card, having since distributed another five volumes throughout the Midwest and beyond. kNow1 next relocated to Columbus from 2001-2003, where regularly featured with The Fonosluts Dj crew at the legendary Bernies on Sunday nights. Upon his return to the 216, kNow1 reconnected with Attichead offshoot Tydedown Entertainment, opening for the likes of KRS One, Ghostface Killah, Prince Paul, Mr. Lif, Aesop Rock and Murs, while picking up a new Friday night at The Bassa Vita Lounge on Clevelands West Side. The rising Dj had also begun courting powerhouse Nappyhead Entertainment, known for having the best and longest running Hip Hop showcase in the city, Kings of the Iron Mic. kNow1 scored as host Dj for the Kings fourth year anniversary show in March of 2002. Paulie Rhyme (Finless Brown) also linked with the bubbling Dj for a run of Thursday nights at The Rhythm Room in Cleveland Heights, including a show featuring Camp Lo and Tajai (Hieroglyphics). kNow1 was host Dj for the Kool Cigarettes MC Battle Series, culminating in an opening set for a performance by Grammy Award-Winners The Roots at The Agora Theater. To date, the dj has also held down weekly engagements at The EAC (Kent), Oldfields (Columbus), Za Za (Cleveland Heights), Platinum Dreams (Cleveland Heights), Caseys (Lakewood) and Friday nights at The Mirage (Flats). Having worked with several promoters and production companies, kNow1 settled in with Nappyhead Entertainment in late 2003. He has since contributed to numerous recorded projects and spun at many shows as part of the still-rising organization. With kNow1 headlining, Nappyhead took on their first weekly club night at The B-Side Liquor Lounge (Coventry, Cleveland Heights) in 2005. For 2006 and beyond, dj kNow1s goals include: continuing to back Nappyhead super group The Go-Live Grizzlies; a series of concept mix tapes; further work to serve the entertainment needs of those raised on Hip Hop culture and ultimately developing programming that utilizes music as a tool to help adolescents express themselves, cope, and create positive changes in their lives.

DJ Wild Kyle

My ultimate achievement would be to live from music and pass positivity through it, hip hop is my format. I was raised as a fan of all the forms of Hip Hop and Rock music since early childhood thanks to older siblings and their friends. I began learning guitar, drums, bass, and singing from my family and friends around 5 years of age. I grew up in Parma and North Olmsted, and have lived around Cleveland, Columbus, and San Diego California ever since. I don't pretend to be a gangsta-false flagger, but like any human I'll protect myself. I am what I am, another child of God and creator of music. I've been in different metal, hardcore, and punk bands since my teenage years (L.I.G.H.T., Ambugala, Little Neddy Goes To War). I sang for those bands throughout 10 years, and also combined playing bass with singing for Little Neddy. BCSS, Yakuza, and Albino were other bands I played bass, drums, guitar, and/or sang/screamed with. I began djing on the side 8 years ago with motivations for battling and turntablism. I began to focus completely on turntablism, djing, and producing 2 years ago when personal and musical differences with band members abrupted while living in San Diego CA. I mixed with KutFather, DJ HOP (Icons), NTec, Disco Rick (R.I.P.) & Mr. Henshaw of the First Power Crew, Rob Revs, Phat Philly and many local SD DJs in the scratch clinic at CSL record store. I moved back to Ohio to get back into college. I DJed at various hip hop events for Nappyhead Inc since 2002 like "Kings/Queens of the Iron Mic" which is Cleveland's longest running hip hop event. I've been in two guitar center battles 2005 receiving 2nd and 3rd place and a Kool Mix 2002 battle with 2nd place also in Cleveland. I scratch with the "Go Live Grizzlies" produce original beats combined with scratching (Turntablism), also I create mix cd's.
