EP 4: DJ Neil Armstrong - JAY-Z's tour DJ talks going global and spinning for Obama

Jay-Z and Beyoncé just released the "Everything is Love" album on Tidal this week and I made a last minute switch on this episode and pulled up a 2012 interview with the All Out King of the turntables, DJ Neil Armstrong. Neil toured with Jay-Z through some amazing times in Hov's career, from marrying Beyonce to headlining Glastonbury and rocking the VMA's with that epic "Empire State of Mind" performance with Alicia Keys. We talk about how Neil's authentic musicality, expressed in his legendary mixtapes, led him to a face-to-face meeting with Jay Z, separated only by a set of turntables. This high pressure performance led to Neil seeing the world, performing to millions of fans and a special performance for President Obama at The White House. We also speak on Kanye West's antics, (well before the recent Donald Trump stuff) when he interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMA, and how Jay Z runs his team and addresses moments like that. This podcast has a lot of jewels in it so make sure you enjoy it and take notes - there's a lot of stuff we talk about in the post-game part of the podcast that you can apply to your everyday hustle.
