A recent episode of Planet Money covered DJ Drama and specifically his 2007 arrest for bootlegging and RICO charges. I mostly know him from Lil Jon shouting “Gangsta Grillz” on his work, but had never heard this story. I saw the rise and fall of the mixtape from the outside, but never knew the details told here.
Note: It is actually shortened adaptation of another NPR podcast Louder Than A Riot, which I’ve started listening to.
