For over a decade, DJ GMF has rocked crowds throughout New York with his raw energy and unmatched skills on the turntables. He has also given undiscovered talent a chance to shine.
This Spring, Masta Mix Records will introduce DJ GMF to the rest of the world with the release of his debut compilation album, œLove the Game. The album follows the same formula -pure hip-hop bangers - that has propelled him into one of the most prominent DJs in the North.
œI appreciate the love that my fans have shown throughout my career, but I feel like this is the perfect time to show everyone else what I can do, says GMF. œMy album is a reflection of my appreciation for real hip-hop and artists who have something to say.
Born in Far Rockaway, Queens and raised in Edgemere Housing Projects, GMF was inspired to enter the DJ culture by his older brother. He did odd jobs including maintenance while simultaneously establishing his name by selling mix tapes and deejaying at local parties.
His big break came when he did a show with Profile Records artist Smooth the Hustler. Later, he hooked up with Tommy Boy Records rap group Screwball. His reputation heightened when he joined the prominent Lyricist Lounge tour that featured Mos Def, EPMD, and Pharaohe Monch.
Other notable appearances have included Black Entertainment Television's Teen Summit, Future Flavas Online, and inthemixradio.net.
In 2006, longtime friend and CEO of Masta Mix Records, Traum called to take GMF's career to the next level.
GMF has the innate ability to know what people want to hear musically says Traum. œHis album is a testament that underground hip-hop can reach fans coast to coast and even internationally.
