Driven by a warm and mutually supportive base of music fans, The DJ Grid has proved to be a blend of top notch creators, celebrity DJs, and music executives under one roof. With a network that produces millions of impressions monthly, The DJ Grid uses modern methods and cutting edge technology to distribute and promote each body of work. 

The DJ Grid is mostly known for their popular compilation series which has dominated the Billboard charts numerous times. They’ve broken records for stars like Missy Elliott, Cam’ron, Sean Kingston, Lil Baby, Ed Sheeran, Damian Marley, and Sean Paul just to mention a few. The DJ Grid has previously released three #1 Billboard albums – including Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica, Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica (Deluxe), and Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica (Reloaded). They’ve also had Top 25 Billboard charting success with their World Hip Hop Compilation series – World Hip Hop Unleashed Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.

The 50/50 album by The DJ Grid was released 4/20 on Walmart.com exclusively and sold out in 24 hours. The coalition linked up with various artists to drop this collaborative album, 50/50. The album was first announced in early 2020 and was distributed three months later. The 50/50 album consists mostly of Hip Hop and Rhythm & Blues songs and the 20-track project marks The DJ Grid’s return, following a short absence in terms of albums releases.

Spitta is back, like he never left…cus he never takes huge breaks where he’s not putting out dope music. He’s been touring with Big Sean for Coors beer, expanding his fan base. Got to love the moves this dude has been making. Check the scene on Saturday Night Car Tunes and ride out.

It has been announced that a new web platform will be released on September 2nd and it’s going to bring some heavy competition to others. The RapFest, a digital platform that will be used to push digital media into a new direction is coming for y’all! The platform will give underground artists an opportunity to showcase their talent by completing ciphers against some of hip hop’s well known artists like Prodigy, Smoke DZA and many more.

Each artist will be filmed separately free styling over the same beat and then packaged together for others to watch. Along with that, RapFest will have a backend community where members could communicate with each other, handle mixtape placements with DJs, book tours and so much more.

Check out the trailer for RapFest below and tell us what you think. Is this the next big thing to hit?
