No matter what people think of the current state of the New York hip-hop scene, DJ Blazita loves it. Coming on as the next female Sixshot Spinners, this Cleveland native has all the qualities of what makes a DJ using each skill to the best of her ability holding her own.

When it comes to feeding the hungry streets with the rawest hip-hop talent a DJ Blazita mixtape is where it’s at (shout out to Gilat Weinman at Universal for getting the word out). Don’t sleep either, because this DJ knows her stuff and if you want to get heard you better come correct.

Though as we all know the DJ is here to break artist, Blazita is willing to supply the fire as the industry these days seems to have less demand for dope music. Real DJ’s know how the job is done and don’t use the title DJ if the work is not done correctly, CD DJ’s anyone [laughs]? Hey Boricua it’s Blazita!

Sixshot.com: How do you feel as the second consecutive female on Sixshot Spinners?

DJ Blazita: Second, why am I second [laughs]?

Sixshot.com: Well you know DJ Heat was before you, but your second and there’s nothing wrong with that.

DJ Blazita: [Laughs], Why is that females are not getting their shine, can I ask you a question?  I’m really curious of what made you decide to reach out to the females. We are always doing our thing and sometimes better than the dudes.

Sixshot.com: Hey, I was just sitting back one day and realized we gotta show love to the females.

DJ Blazita: [Laughs], Yeah, you should’ve been that.

Sixshot.com: Well like they say it’s better now than never right?

DJ Blazita: [Laughs], I guess, yeah!

Sixshot.com: So what were your main influences as far as getting in the game of DJing?

DJ Blazita: I’ve been in radio since I was high school as I always was a personality. When I went to Penn State I met another DJ who was tearing down the clubs and I asked him to show me how to DJ. I always wanted to DJ and at the radio station we had a lot of DJ’s come through. To make a long story short I learned how to DJ through him and started doing parties at Penn State. That was really a good environment, because there was thousands of students [laughs]. It was a lot of parties and stuff. When I finished Penn State I started doing mixtapes to get that industry presence. Mixtapes can get you really far when it comes to getting your name out there, connecting with more artist, more gigs, and stuff like that.

Sixshot.com: No doubt, on the mixtape scene your doing your thing. The one thing I noticed is your consistency. How do you maintain your daily grind hitting the streets heavy?

DJ Blazita: [Laughs], Yeah, if your not gonna be consistent there is no point of doing it at all. There is no point of dropping a mixtape here and there. If your really gonna be part of the mixtape scene you gotta be consistent. You gotta come with that heat, know what your doing, and have the right marketing. It’s all about mixtapes and keeping your mixtapes on the shelves.

Sixshot.com:  You just dropped a mixtape with Serius Jones. How did that whole relationship build making you decide to do a tape together?

DJ Blazita: Well my thing is I support artist who I seen live. I really don’t support artist who are just on the Internet and hit me through email. I like to have actually meet them, seen them perform, and it goes from there. I met Serius at a showcase watching him perform and really liked it. I already heard his music so I knew he was talented. I reached out, it didn’t happen right away, but here we are. This is sort of the buzz-catcher to his mixtape coming out “Serius Business”.

Sixshot.com: Being one of the hottest DJ’s in the city how should an artist should approach you when it comes to getting on your tapes?

DJ Blazita:  They can reach out to me by MySpace. The best thing is to come with music that’s mixed well. Don’t come with the BS, because I don’t have time for that [laughs].

Sixshot.com: What’s the history behind the name DJ Blazita?

DJ Blazita: I was just tryna figure out a name. I though of blaze and added “ita”, because I’m Puerto-Rican. I just made it up, it’s not a message behind it. I don’t really have a crazy story I just made it up [laughs].

Sixshot.com: Well I see you like to keep it plain and simple!

DJ Blazita: [Laughs].

Sixshot.com: Getting more into the DJing will you attend The Million DJ March?

DJ Blazita: Yeah, I supposed to be coaching the basketball game the night before the march. They are supposed to be having a million DJ march basketball game and I’m a be the coach [laughs]. They asked me to play and I said no way I’m breaking a nail [laughs]. I’m not playing with a bunch of guys so I’m cool, but yeah I’ll be there.

Sixshot.com: I see you don’t want to break no nails, but don’t you think about that when spinning tracks?

DJ Blazita: Nah, that’s totally different [laughs].

Sixhot.com: How is that the case?

DJ Blazita: [Laughs], that’s totally different.

Sixshot.com: Well I hope your not one of those CD DJ’s are you?

DJ Blazita: Oh no way, I use Serato, but I learned through Vinyl. I CD DJ if I have to, but I really DJ.

Sixshot.com: But how come a lot of CD DJ’s who put “DJ” in front of their name don’t get respect?

DJ Blazita: I don’t have respect for them either, but everyone is doing it now. It’s the reason the situation is the way it is. It’s very oversaturated, but at the end of the day people gonna go with real talent. Mixtape DJ’s that say their DJ’s really don’t go that far, they can only do mixtapes. They can’t tear down parties and do a lot of things real DJ’s do. They don’t have longevity, they can make real money, but it would never be legit. I don’t really respect it, but at the end of the day I’m not worried about those people. Those people are not my competition. I’m my own competition and practice with my skills to get better everyday.

Sixshot.com: So you saying fuck it, my rep is good?

DJ Blazita: Exactly, [laughs].

Sixshot.com: Now what’s good with your upcoming projects?

DJ Blazita: I got my New York series and will always have that going. I’m a always support my New York hip-hop. I think it’s important as everyone is doing music for the south right now. There is a lot of hate coming out of New York so I’m a always keep my series going. I got another series called Sex & The City which is 90’s R&B classics.

Sixshot.com: And your still holding it down on Hate Money Radio!

DJ Blazita: Oh of course, I’m a always be on Hate Money Radio [laughs]. Me, DJ Bedtyme 357, D.W.I., they took me in as they was doing their show for a while. I was talking to Bedtyme and were both part of the Bash Brothers. I was telling Bedtyme how I wanted a radio show in New York and I miss the radio aspect. You can play music you wanna play, especially with us being indie. The show gets better every week so I’m excited about that.

Sixshot.com: Much love to Bedtyme, because he is the street corner A&R!

DJ Blazita: Yeah, [laughs]!
