With over 10 years music industry experience under his belt, DJ Risky Bizness has made a name for himself, not only in his hometown of Chicago, but worldwide. The Southside native's rep has grown due to his ever-growing resume, which includes numerous mixtapes, club residencies and featured appearances. He has rocked venues such as Double Door, The Shelter (St. Andrew's Hall, Detroit), Cubby Bear and Metro during tours behind some of hip-hop's heavyweights.
His catalog of stellar mixtapes include mixes for Common, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Mos Def, J.U.I.C.E., The Opus, M.O.P., Molemen emcee Longshot and most recently Kanye West. They've also featured exclusive tracks and freestyles from Slug of Atmosphere, Eminem & D12, Kanye West, All Natural, Rhymefest and more. He has shared studio time with DJ Head (Eminem's longtime DJ), D12, J.U.I.C.E., E.C Illa, Legendary Traxster, O-Type Star, Rasco & Planet Asia and Future Leaders of the World, while DJing live sets for J.U.I.C.E., Binary Star (One Be Lo aka One Man Army), Vakill, Prime, Novacaine, various members of the Wu-Tang Clan and KRS-One.
Along with his hip-hop resume, he has branched out and popped up on new-wave 80's and alternative rock nights, holding down past residencies at Nocturnal Niteclub and Betty's Blue Star Lounge, among others. Risky's buzz throughout the city has led to the collaboration with the multi-faceted Mic One, for whom he currently DJ's.
