Hi Naythan, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
To never give up on myself. Believe that this is going to be a success. Hard work will always pay off.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a DJ & concert producer for the Rhyme Fest Hip Hop Festival. Working as a Dj for 23 years has not been all fun and games. There are always new challenges and keeping up with music and social trends. You really are a 1 man band. Promoter, Content creator & DJ all in one. I had to go through a name change a few years ago. So been rebuilding the DJ brand. Rhyme Fest is my baby. The Rhyme Fest team is the best. My partner, Scooby, Is one of the best in the game. Who would have thought we would have known each other this long and had a show at the Colosseum. He working hard & one of the best things in my life.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First, We I would ask if they are hungry?? Then proceed to take them to In-N-Out. After food, Top Golf. Be fun. Then to where I’m Djing. After all that take them to Quarters in K-Town next to Escala. Then to my home because have your friends stay anywhere else.
