HHV Exclusive: DJ Caesar talks radio history, joining Shade 45, DJ-ing history, and more

Often, there is the debate over Power 105.1 and Hot 97 in New York City radio. But, hip hop heads in the city often say Shade 45 is the station to check out if they have access to XM radio. The past few years have offered more variety on Shade 45 and, personally, this is the best station to zone out to after a long day.

Those who follow on Twitter may see the tweets to Shade 45 and it comes from them, from a personal perspective, preserving that realness. All the love shown to them was shown back when DJ Caesar agreed to meet up for an interview. A few days ago, he did an exclusive sitdown.

DJ Caesar talked to Hip Hop Vibe about how he gained entry into the radio industry, including his start in marketing. This led to him branching out and getting himself on the air, his real dream. He also spoke on how he joined Shade 45, working with DJ Whoo Kid, and admiring guys like DJ Clue and Funkmaster Flex.
