Interview from One Stop Hip Hop If you don't know who 45 KING is? Then you don't know Queen Latifah, DJ Kool, Jay Z, or Eminem. One Stop Beats caught up with Hip Hop's true king of beats at his home studio. If you ever visited his lab you would know about his lucky charmed subway turnstile. He immediately pointed out that a lot of stars had past through his turnstile and he believes that it gave a lot of people good luck. 45 KING who real name is Mark James has been producing hits since the late '80s. Most DJs world wide will have at least one copy of the classic break beat "The 900 Number" (recently made popular by DJ Kool "Let me clear my throat") in their crate. Our interview took place in 45 KING's living room facing his 45 KING banner. Its official! We are in the world of 45 KING. Gold and Platinum plaques covered the walls as a reminder of world class success. Read more... WEBSITE: http://45king.com
