That was the name of a song recorded in the late 80's to pay homage to Red Alert by a rapper named Mitch Ski. Throughout my career Red has always been one of my biggest supporters. I remember being in Power Play Studios 1986 with Scott La Rock & KRS-One recording my very first promo for Red. It was called "The TR808 Is Coming". Red played that song every Saturday night at 8:00 for over 2 years. There was also the time when I stopped by the radio station after leaving the recording studio with a demo of "My Name Is D-Nice." Red listened to it and immediately called Vinny Brown, who was the program director, into the room and played it for him. Vinny listened to it and added it to daytime rotation, which was almost unheard of at the time! That moment clearly defined my career.

When Red called and asked if I would throw his birthday party, I jumped at the opportunity because I knew this would be my chance to show my appreciation for what he has done for music and for what he has done for my career, after all, he is part of the reason I'm deejaying again. On Wednesday, November 24, we are throwing it back old school style! I will be spinning strictly old school hip-hop and r&b with the exception of Snoop's "Drop It Like It's Hot", because that's my favorite song out right now! We are also serving red velvet cake and the best part of it all, this is the only party that night the doesn't cost one red penny to get into so reach in your closet and pull out your old bubble goose down leather jackets, cazal glasses, kangol caps, name belts, and your Lee jeans with the permanent crease!
