DJ Positive J

Follow Member since Apr. 2012

Just a tribute mix to my inspriation for doing what I did. His Name is DJ PRIMO, one of the baddest Christian DJ's out there. To me one of the best mixes he ever did and he did it On The Fly Freestyle. No editing! *********************************************************It is with a sad heart that we share the news that our brother in Christ, Carlos “DJ Primo†Avila, is no longer with us. After struggling with severe depression he took his own life yesterday. This Mexican-born US Army Reserve veteran, who served the United States in tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, leaves behind a wife and two young children.

Known as the “King of Christian chopped and screwed†music, Primo championed both the popular Southern hip hop remix style and seamless video mixing. He chopped and screwed the 116 Clique’s first compilation album, hosted a mix show with Holy Culture Radio, and founded FreeChristianMixtapes.com for his work and that of others.

DJ Primo was a constant fixture at almost every Christian hip hop event held in Houston and, when in the country, was the regular house DJ at the Hip Hop Hope Tuesdays weekly outreach events with Bobby “Tre9†Herring in Houston’s 5th Ward. Below is a reflection by Tre9, his friend and partner in hip hop missions.

Powered by MixxTV - DaSouth.com PartnerHip Hop Hope will host a tribute to DJ Primo on Tuesday, April 10, from 7:30-9pm @ The Prince Complex 3000 Jensen Dr. Houston, TX 77095. The wake is this Thursday, April 12, 2-8pm The Leal Funeral Chapel 2200 Wilcrest Dr. Houston, TX 77042. Funeral Services will be held Friday, April 13, at Houston National Cemetery 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive Houston, TX 77038 9am.

Want to help the Avila family? The good folks at Reach Records have agreed to donate all of the proceeds from the next month of iTunes sales of their 116 Clique compilation album (one of first ever Reach Records releases) that DJ Primo chopped and screwed for them back in 2006 before Lecrae, Tedashii, Thi’sl, Sho Baraka, and J’son were well known chart toppers.
