We first featured DJ Degree One back in November, and he was kind enough to make us a second mix for this month’s podcast. Hailing from Victoria B.C. by way of Salt Spring Island, DJ Degree One has been a fundamental figure in the West Coast hip hop scene since 1990.

Starting off in Victoria’s first recognized hip hop group, ‘Sound Advice’ as an M.C., he then launched the original ‘Spittin’ Rhymes’ radio show, broadcast on CFUV 101.9fm, a much listened to weekly radio show before the age of internet music! Degree made the move to rockin’ the turntables out at parties and clubs in ‘97. Progressing through the years he also became Victoria’s premier hip-hop concert promoter. He has shared the stage with some incredible DJ’s and now plays over 150 shows a year! For upcoming events and shows go to Degree’s blog here.
