DJ Kay Slay, also known as the Drama King, (born Kenneth Gleason) is the ringmaster of the new hip hop rivalries, played out on his mixtape s. The New York Times calls him "Hip-Hop's One-Man Ministry of Insults," and his street cred is unchallenged.Originally from East Harlem , Kenneth started out with graffiti art, using his tag DEZ. He was featured in the classic hip hop documentaries Wild Style and Style Wars. When the New York City Transit Police cracked down on graffiti in the late 1980s, Kay Slay took up turntables. He made his way spinning records and releasing mixtapes, all the while trying to get some money and a contract.
In 2001, when Jay-Z and Nas's rivalry erupted on Kay Slay tapes, everything changed for him. Now everyone in the commercial mainstream sends their disses to the Drama King, and up-and-coming artists try to get played by him so they can explode like 50 Cent. His Thursday night show on Hot 97 in Manhattan and his constant stream of mixtapes are now watched closely by record execs who want to sign the next big thing.
