On the streets of Queens, NYC (Corona/East Elmhurst to be exact), a mixtape
star has risen up to claim the R&B mixtape crown by the name of FINE$$E. DJ
FINE$$E was given that name due to the way he quickly learned and “finessed” the
art of DJing. It was back in 1996 that FINE$$E began to learn about the art of
DJing from an old time pro, his father (Sounds of Pleasure). Three years later
FINE$$E got inspired by the mixtape business and took a stab at creating his own
blend mixtape. By January 2001, his name began to gain recognition in the
streets. This pushed him to capitalize on his new found success and look into
doing other types of mixtapes as well. FINE$$E eventually decided that R&B was
the way to go. However, instead of just copying the R&B mixtape style that was
already out there, he decided to forge ahead with his own take on the slow jam &
R&B soul scene. That first foray into the R&B mixtape world was so successful
for FINE$$E, that he quickly followed up with another. Soon enough, DJ FINE$$E
was known for dropping an R&B/Blends mix CD every month. He was officially a
fixture in the mixtape world. Later that year FINE$$E was nominated for “Best
R&B Mixtape DJ” at the 6th annual Justo's Mixtape Awards show. FINE$$E was
nominated again in 2002, and again in 2003. FINE$$E finally had his day and won
the “Best R&B Mixtape DJ” award in March of 2004 at the 9th Annual Justo’s
Mixtapes Awards Ceremony. That highly deserved award began to open many other
doors for FINE$$E. His mixtape began showcasing in the "Source magazine", MTV
"Mixtape mondays", and he also appeared on BET for the “Rap City Memorial Day
Special” that same year. Now that FINE$$E was established on his own, (2006)
FINE$$E began to expand his DJ empire overseas. His travels have now taken him
all over Europe to DJ parties and shows for various clients. 2007, FINE$$E was
asked to be the spokes model for "Gilyard" urban clothing line which lead to
billboards, print ads in XXL, Scratch, King, DNR, Vibe and many other magazines.
Later that year FINE$$E won the award for “Best Slow Jams Mixtape DJ” at the
Southern Entertainment Awards and again in 2008, 2009 & 2010. DJ FINE$$E now
holds 6 mixtape awards and has dropped 100 Mix-CDs circulating worldwide during
the course of his short career…
He has definitely earned his title of “The Untouchable R&B Mixtape King a/k/a
The Ladies Choice”
