DJ Graffiti,[3] is a Michigan based DJ, Producer and manager.[1] He is also the founder of Overflow,[4] a digital marketing company.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan's Ross Business School and Michigan Law School.[5] He began DJing his freshman year of college,[5] releasing Mix Tapes of underground hip-hop soon after featuring tracks by artists such as Jurassic 5, J Live, Athletic Mic League, People Under The Stairs and Mr. Lif. Graffiti does produce original tracks as well, including “Underground Raw,” which features the Eminem protégé Obie Trice.[1] Since then DJ Graffiti has been called "the underground mix tape king of Michigan," partially due to a nomination he received at the Detroit Rap Awards.[3]
DJ Graffiti received the title "Best DJ" in 2010 by Real Detroit Weekly which called him "our town’s premier DJ".[6] The magazine The Promoter deemed DJ Graffiti "an icon in Michigan's underground hip-hop community."[citation needed] He is also featured in the 2003 edition of the book The All Music Guide to Hip Hop.[7]
