Summary
Damion Young, aka Damizza, didn’t just ride the wave of hip-hop—he built it from the booth, the studio, and the streets. Starting in Santa Barbara, he turned radio into a weapon of cultural influence, mastering the art of sound before the internet turned everyone into an “expert.” From Power 106 to HOT 97, he didn’t just play music—he decoded its soul, championing legends like Eminem, Jay-Z, and Fiona Apple with uncanny intuition. Behind the mic and behind the boards, he crafted hits like Mariah Carey’s “Crybaby” and curated cinematic compilations that defined West Coast vibes. Then he flipped the script on Instagram with “Breaking News!”—a raw, real-time autopsy of the music industry that earned him the Dan Rather of hip-hop crown. Now, with “Set At The Table,” he’s opening his private studio to the world, inviting legends like Warren G to share untold stories, preserving truth in an age of noise. This isn’t about clout—it’s about legacy, trust, and the rare power to make music history feel alive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
