Here’s the first video off DJ Dister’s (Germany) upcoming album “Roll Wit Dis”, set to be released August 19th. The song “Stop Frontin’” features the one and only A.G. of D.I.T.C and is available on iTunes now.
Dister was bitten by the hip-hop bug in the late Eighties, when he saw his ï¬rst painted S-Bahn train roll past in previously inaccessible West Berlin. This inspired him to pick up his own spray cans and he spent the Nineties lacing trains with bold, full-colour pieces – and the tag Dister was born.
From painting trains, Dister began to collect records by the likes of Public Enemy, NWA and LL Cool J and played them out at a night that would run for eight years. Called ‘Born 2 Roll’, it was Berlin’s premier hip-hop event and brought talent like Masta Ace, Lords of the Underground, KRS One and the Beatnuts to the Cassiopeia club – one of Friedrichshain’s ï¬nest music spots.
