“BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR, YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT, BRO.”
“I’m not trying to bring your HOPES Down, Bro, and It’s NOT a KNOCK
Against (THE DJING) GAME Itself.
But, I KNOW WHAT YOU SEE…
YOU SEE THE LIGHTS…
YOU SEE THE SEXY WOMAN…ENTERTAINMENT STARS
YOU SEE THE BIG-NAMED RAP ARTIST and MODELS…
BUT, YOU DON’T SEE NONE OF THE SHIT BEHIND-THE-SCENES WHICH
CAN SOMETIMES BE REAL FUCKED-UP.”

“This night at CLUB 7, was one of those Epic, Surreal-Type Club
Nights. I mean straight-up something out of a B.E.T. Uncut Type-
Video moments. A group of fellas came in with about three of
four ladies-the girls looking really good. But, it was one girl--
female---FUCK THAT--WOMAN--should I say in particular--that
stood out like no other. She was about 5’4”/5’5”, Deep-Dish--
Honey Light-Skinned, Dark Long hair, Brown Eyes, she wore ALL
WHITE: light jacket with a sexy little tank top with matching tight
jeans—fitting that body right-- with either white or off-white heels
---She was F*CKING SMOKIN’---GODDAMIT!” (To best describe
and get an idea of how FINE she was she resembled R&B artist
Teedra Moses from Rick Ross’s Maybach Music label.) ---quote

14. “CH.9-” TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL”
Over the years both DJ Kool Ken and DJ
Darkbody have come to an
understanding that to really have an
impact DJing on another level we had
to start branding ourselves as a
business.
Why Does Branding Matter for DJs?
Think about the most successful DJs in
the world, and you’ll realize that they
have several things in common besides
their technical skills and talent. They
have a
• Distinctive Sound
• Distinctive Look
• Distinctive Personality
• A Steady Media Presence
-- all of which connects to being
memorable as a brand.
