Over the past nearly 20 years, Justin Smith, aka Just Blaze has become a fixture in Hip Hop music and culture. He began producing for well-known artists in the late 1990s, leading to a breakout role in producing the majority of Jay-Z’s “The Dynasty: Roc La Familia” and its follow-up, the celebrated perennial fan favorite "Blueprint”, which reshaped the sound and sonic styles of Hip-Hop music upon its release. Just reached international fame for his production of Cam’ron’s 2002 summer smash “Oh Boy” and instantly became a household name in Hip-Hop culture. Since then, he’s gone on to produce for Snoop Dogg, Usher, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Ludacris, TI & Rihanna, and many more. In between record production projects, he also broke into scoring various video game projects for EA Sports, Capcom and Midway, and created soundscapes for Hollywood hits such as Ice Age 4 and The A-Team as well as various TV projects, such as hosting VH1's "Master of the Mix" DJ competition show.  In recent years, Just has also been touring extensively worldwide as a festival and club DJ (largely due to his surprise EDM hit "Higher" featuring Baauer). Other recent career highlights include producing five tracks on Eminem’s Grammy-winning comeback album “Recovery”, the street anthem "Lord Knows" by Drake and Rick Ross, and the breakout hit "Freedom" from Beyonce's smash album “Lemonade.” With all of this under his belt and new projects in the works, Just shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. In this conversation with Adam Connors, Blaze discusses how he continues to be successful over many years despite the fact that he says many in the music industry have a short shelf-life.  And of course, Blaze discusses his perspective on what networking means to him and how he has been able to stay relevant thanks to the strong relationships he has formed.  Find NetWorkWise on: Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn  Reddit

Hey Wus yall this week I will be chopping it up with VH1's Master of the Mix and fellow Fleet DJ @DJExel. Within the past five years, eXeL has played in various clubs worldwide and has landed opening sets for comedians Deray Davis and Gary Owen, R&B greats Jon B, Genuwine and Dru Hill, and Freeway. She’s also spun parties for Trey Songz and Fabolous, and is the official DJ to Jazz of Dru Hill (aka JR The Artist).  Things started moving at an accelerated pace when eXeL came out on top of Baltimore station 92Q’s battle for their “Diva of the Mix” competition in 2011, which landed her a guest DJ spot on the station. In the same year she was awarded the Best Mixtape DJ of the Year and nominated for Best Club DJ of the Year at the Central PA Hip Hop Awards both of which had her as the lone female nominee. Since then, she’s backed up her “#1 International Party Rocker” moniker as she has completed over a dozen mixtapes and two international tours, spinning in clubs from Hong Kong to Miami’s Karu & Y. In 2012, DJ eXeL was a featured DJ at the Global Independence Day Celebration at the world renowned Beverly Hilton Hotel. She’s not limited to music events either; her mixes of hip-hop, R&B, Reggae, Club music and Top 40 hits have afforded her gigs at places like Madewell, Macy’s, Sneakervilla and Sephora.   Best of all, she was recently named one of the top 20 DJ’s in the U.S. by VH1’s critically acclaimed reality series, Master of the Mix and is a contestant in the show’s third season. This is just the beginning of DJ eXeL’s evolution and stay tuned “Because She’s A Big Deal!”, as her slogan appropriately states.
