106 KMEL SBC DJ Rick Lee

I started in 1984...I kicked started my first crew Total Control with Marc Brown in about 85...quit his crew to due to creative differences to build my own...SBC DJ's was formed around late 85-early 86...SBC was formally abreviated short for Style Beyond Compare...originally taken from graffiti/breakin crew which turned in to DJ's.

SBC was from Daly City...started by me out of Westmoor High School...(same school that Spintronix, Mike Master Mike, & DJ Apollo came from)....I barely graduated in 1987...got my freakin diploma in the mail 1 week after graduation...then went to Skyline College to force myself to become something for 3 years (to find out to just sleep in class)

Any hoot...I used DJing as a way to stay out of the trouble of gangs, drugs & the corner liquor store! Tho these things are always the biggest downfall of most teens in life, I managed somehow to dodge all of these things and drag other members to join me and stay on a postive path. Till this day I still dont do any of these EVIL temptations which has helped keep me on a straight road to being successfull & focused at DJing as career! Who would of ever of thought that DJing would be my long life time job! If u currently look around the game of DJing, very few ever make it FULL TIME...most have to do this as a pasion on the side of there real day to day lives working a real job...Somehow ive learned to beat the odds....and I wanna say making real money to live while keeping the same creative art of DJing has probably been the biggest challenge & goal of my entire life...Ive been at DJing full time now since 1995 (the start of KMEL) and havent looked back since thru the rough and tough times of the current economy! And I don't ever plan to work a real job again! (cross my fingers lol)

To make a long story short ive been a late bloomer to radio and got on back in 1995...after the great regieme of Cameron Paul, Alex Mejia, Michael Erickson, Theo & Billy Vidal just to name a few who now all moved on in life to other things...ever since i've carried the ball and iv'e been very lucky to stay constantly relevent by changing with the times and always keeping an open mind to be ahead of the curve.

My SBC crew is probably one of the only few left from the 80's that is STILL AROUND...STILL KEEPING IT STREET & STILL DOIN IT AS A CREW (no solo)...STILL DOING MIXTAPES....ALL ON A CONSISTANT LEVEL (25 plus years in the game)...we consider ourselves the last of the DINOSUARS and hoping we can pass the torch as we are constantly taking in new members and not get struck by any meteor's to cause our extinction! Anyways its getting late and I must go to bed...will complete the rest of this conv at another time...check back for updates
