Shout to the homies at We
Merge Magazine for featuring our very own
¡Mayday! on the cover by using original artwork created by Dekal who also created the artwork for ¡Mayday!'s latest album stuck on an island. Also featured on the cover is my good homie Trek 6. Both
Trek 6 and We Merge were involved in our event this past Friday at Transit Lounge. Make sure you pick up this very dope issue and keep up with We Merge Magazine!
Miami New Times: ¡Mayday! has a monthly gig at Transit Lounge where they host the night for one Friday each month. Well, that Friday is tonight. But this particular night at Transit will be extra special as the event will double up as a charity drive in support of Miami's homeless population. Live music featuring some of Miami's hottest hip-hop acts.
There is no cover charge, but event organizers are asking that you bring your old clothes, footwear, children's clothes, and/or school supplies to help the less fortunate of Miami. Its all for a good cause.
Crossfade caught up with DJ EFN, who helped put the night together along with a long list of other amazing contributors. We spoke a little about the goals for tonight's charity event at Transit. We also spoke about his company, his co-management duties with ¡Mayday! and the other artists he manages: Garcia and Heckler.
New Times: If you can introduce yourself and talk a little about what you do and about your company?
DJ EFN: My name is DJ EFN, I am founder of Crazy Hood Productions inc. and CHP Marketing & Promotions. Some know me as Miami's Mixtape King, which was a name given to me for being one of the first consistent mixtape DJs out of South Florida. I manage local artist such as Garcia, Heckler, and ¡Mayday! (which I co-manage with Kether of Latchkey and Drea of La Rue) as well as local producers Big Drain and Hazardis Soundz.
Through my marketing company I have worked with such companies and brands as Ecko, Def Jam, Bacardi, Ciroc, Atlantic, Tommy Boy, Epic, Sony, Gatorade, HP/Beats and many more. We manage regional and national campaigns as well as do consulting.
New Times: Like you mentioned, you're co-managing ¡Mayday!, who have been having an incredible year. How's everything looking with them?
