The Multi-Talented Artist Know As DJ EMURDA Was The Only DJ Comming From Jamaica That Could Cut Records With Finess As This Was An Unheard Of Style On The Island, Back Then It Was All About Blends And Having The Biggest Set Of Speakers. The Way He Got Into The Cutting Style of DJing Was From Watching The Movie "Juice" In Early 1994 While Visiting Family In Florida. When The DJ Battle Section Was Seen, It Became Clear And He Said: "I Need To Do That" Ever Since Then He Started Cuttin With Finess On Equipment That Was Handed Down From His Mother Who DJ'd Parties Between NY/NJ Between The 80's.

Between 1994 And 1996 He Was Perfecting His Skills Back In Jamaica And Traveling Back And Forth From The Island To Florida. In 1997 He Decided To Stay In The States Permanently Going To Houston,TX Durring That First Summer And Traveling Back To Florida Frequently To See Family And To Finish High School.

After A Short Time In Houston He Was Introduced To A DJ SCREW Grey Tape And Was Jamming Screw Ever Since That Day, But He Never Though Of Really Doing It Himself Until He Got A Hold Of An After Da Kappa Mix CD Around 1999 And 2000 Where He Heard Of OG Ron C. After Hearing This CD He Decided To Drop The Pitch And Mix This Way From Now On Untill About About 2001 He Left Texas For A While To Stay With Family In Florida Where He Started Getting Serious About It From Selling Multiple Tapes At Flea Markets, And A Local Mall In The Hood On 34th Street South Called Simply "Miami Fashions"

Around 2002 He Started Selling Mix "CD's" Instead Of Tapes And Started Converting The Old Tapes To CD's And Placing Them Online. Around This Time He Decided To Drop Chopped & Screwed Volume 1 Due To Most Of The Locals In Florida Not Reconizing The Real Shit. They Jammed Slow Tapes But Not Slow And "Chopped Up"

Mid 2003 He Went Back To Houston And Dissappeared From Florida Where By This Time He Sold Over 200,000 Mixtapes Between 2002 And 2004. So He Decided To Drop Chopped & Screwed Volumes 2, And 3, Volume 2 Was Least Popular Due To No Promotion And Volume 3 Was Doing Well. At The Same Time Chopped & Screwed Music Was Getting Real Big When He Heard About Watts Doing It Big With David Banner In Early 2004.

Durring Most Of 2004 he Decided To Not Do Mixtapes Anymore And Focus On Gettin Some Album Work For Better Promotion. This Never Really Went Too Well Because Watts Was Gettin Basically All The Albums Over The Next 2 Years. Early 2005 He Decided To Drop Chopped & Screwed Volume 4 Which Was Never Promoted But Still Exists In A Hood Near You. At The Same Time The Cham & Mike Jones Situation Was Gettin Worse And Everyone And They Momma Was Doing Mixtapes On The Subject Playing Tracks Back And Forth. With That In Mind He Reached Out To Chamillionaire And Hooked Up To Do Volume 5 Which Started Off Slow Cause Mixtapes Were Flodded With Koopa But Things Picked Up...

In Mid 2005 After The mixtape Was Out In The Streets he Decided To Go Back To Florida to Visit Family. After Making A Better Name For Himself Off This CD While In Florida He Decided To Reach Out To Michael Watts Just For Laughs And See What Would Happen. The Next Day He Recieved A Call From Swishahouse VP, And They Spoke For A Few Minutes. The Conversation Was Verbally Abusive And Disturbing Due To The Recent Success Of Mike Jones Album, Which Basically Made Their Team Very Cocky And Talk Bad About Other Artists And DJ's. When Clark Said: "No DJ Can Do It Like Watts, You, Ron C, Or Anyone!" Thats When E Said Its Time To Get Serous.

A Short Time After Roy Jones Jr. And Tarver Were In The Tampa Area For The Fight, So He Decided To Reach Out And See What They Do. Hooking Up With Bodyhead Entertainment in Late 2005 He Handled A Large Portion Of Their Promotion And New music. After This happened Chamillionaire was Set To Hook Up With Universal Records So He Decided its Time to Re-Release The Volume 5 Mixtape With An Additional Mixtape Messiah Disc That Was Previosuly Unreleased.

After Doing This He Contacted By A Distribution Company That Has Been Following Him For Some Time And Wanted To Take The Mixtapes To A Higher Level. He Agreed And Hooked up With Various Graphic Designers To Redesign Some Covers, And Get Everything Ready. The Distribututors Cut A Couple Checks But They Never Released The Mixtapes When They Were Suppost to. After This Happened He Stopped Doing Mixtapes Once Again And Waited For The CD's To Be Pushed. The Company Kept Changing The Drop Dates Over And Over Again Until Finally He Never Heard From Them Again.

In Early 2006 He Decided To Reach Out To OG Ron C After All That Wasted Time To Drop Volume 6 Alongside Various Other Projects To Build The Buzz All Over Again. At This Time He Started Pushing Volume 5 Out Solo And The Buzz Was Comming Back.

After The Big Success Of Volume 6 And A Few Other Street Level CD's Including The Most Popular Volume 7 Double CD Alongside Of Tum Tum AKA Tumzilla, E Is Steppin Back A Little To Focus On More Self Released Various Artist Compilation Albums To Showcase His Production Skills While Still Giving The Streets What They Want. Lets Face it, Theres Too Many Computer DJ's Oversaturating The Game To Fight A Losing Battle When He Has The Connects To Get Money Thru Other Sources.

Now In 2007 He Is Currently Workin On His First Compilation CD Entitled Street Aesthetics Due In Stores, Fall 2007. This Will Be A Continuing Series Depending On The Popularity And Success Of This Project, And If Not You Will Hear About Him Doing Something Elsewhere. With That Said, Remember This... "1995-2007" DJ EMURDA Will Never Fall Off!...
