Origix of The Zone Radio on DJ Butter and DJ King David’s new mixtape

Origix from WHFR’s The Zone Radio with Origix and DC has taken over the hip hop section of Real Detroit’s weekly Four Track column.

Origix updates us on DJ Butter and DJ King David’s Dip Set & Byrdgang Invades Detroit mixtape.

This summer, Detroit mixtape veterans DJ Butter and DJ King David dropped their latest project together, Dip Set & Byrdgang Invades Detroit. “The mixtape is meant to promote Crime’s LP (Streets Is Contagious), and all of the Dip Set’s up coming releases,” King David says. Harlem Rappers Jim Jones and Hell Rell combined with Detroit’s late Blade Ice Wood and Royce da 5’9” show that our rap scenes have a lot in common. Get a copy from Detroit to NYC at myspace.com/djbutter or myspace.com/djkingdavid313….

The Zone Radio with Origix & DC airs Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. on 89.3 FM. Stream audio at whfr.fm, and visit myspace.com/thezoneradio.
