I remember sitting by the radio every day just waiting until my favorite songs came on so I could record them. At the age of 12, I began creating custom mixtapes for my classmates, using a CD burner and old hip-hop albums I would borrow from my uncle.

By the time I reached high school, I had made a name for myself selling my mixtape CDs around my neighborhood, local stores, and barbershops. That’s when I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in not only DJing but doing radio as well.

Muzique Magazine – To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

Wow. That’s a great question! I was born in Providence, RI to Haitian parents, so I definitely accredit my style to my Caribbean background. I grew up listening to a lot of legends from my hometown in Providence, RI to my second home in New York City, to my current home in Orlando, FL.

So, I would also have to accredit my sense of style to legends like DJ Buck, DJ Big Stress, DJ Half Pint, Fred Da Great, DJ Finesse, DJ Rukiz, DJ CR, DJ Squeak, Funkmaster Flex, Kid Kapri, DJ Red Alert, Tony Touch, DJ Camilo, DJ Clue, DJ Envy, DJ Superstar Jay, DJ Whoo Kid, DJ D-Strong, DJ Stakz, DJ Juice, DJ D-Nice, DJ Prostyle, DJ Nasty, DJ Khaled and the list goes on…

Muzique Magazine – What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

At the moment, the COVID-19 pandemic has been by far one of my greatest challenges as it has kind of forced us, DJs, into a challenging space. With all the clubs and venues shutting down, it slowed down the money we use to pay our bills.

As a result, a lot of us DJs are using Instagram Live, Facebook Live, Youtube Live, Twitch, and recently Mixcloud Live to stream our sets. My greatest attribute when it comes to my work ethic would definitely be that I’m definitely a hustler and I’m different! I’m still learning the game and it inspires me to be better!

DJ Xclusive City is unstoppable. He’s been known for breaking records over the past years, he was the first DJ to premiere “If” with DaVido back in 2017.  And the first to break Afro B’s smash hit “Drogba (Joanna)” in the clubs.  Xclusive City was chosen back in Dec 2019 as the newest member of the world famous Da Union DJ Crew.  He now does 104.5 The Beat and iHeartRadio weekdays with Viva La Koi, weekends with DJ D-Strong and has his own live mix show Sunday VIBEZ on Sunday Nights playing the latest tunes and upcoming artists. 

 The term DJ is used to describe a wide variety of characters in today’s musical landscape.  There are DJs who are on the radio, DJs who spin at clubs, DJs who perform at festivals, DJs who produce…and then there are DJs who do it all.  That is DJ Xclusive City.

Cash Every Denomination unveils latest EP release “Hustlers Haven 2.0 – Legacy Edition [Ace The Beat God remix]”

Cash Every Denomination is back with “Hustlers Haven 2.0 – Legacy Edition.” The Beat God remix is a four-track project on survival, family, struggle, and ambition. A sound influenced by hip-hop, R&B, rap, pop, and dance. The remix edition was done in Gat 3 Studios with Ace. The remixing and engineering were done by The Beat God, and the project was mixed and mastered by Ken Lewis. The result is a record grounded in a certain sense of the present-day reality and the pressures of trying to move forward.

The opening track “Real Talk” bluntly tackles the emotional approach to hardship, focusing on struggles like mothers having the hard time of feeding their children. The song is about survival, not as an abstract idea but as something that is connected to banal situations and tough decisions. “Ingredients Of Life” moves into resilience, bass line, subtle shakers, and beat. It provides the rhythmic base of the track. In the vocals, the message is one of holding on and staying strong, with the basic ingredients of life being repeatedly stressed.

The EP’s lead single, “My Family,” touches on themes of hustling, loyalty, bloodline, and a complicated relationship with law enforcement, while “I Get It In” closes out the project with a determined attitude of “perseverance in the face of not yet being rich.” Across the four tracks, Every Denomination and Ace The Beat God deliver a unified movement of struggle and determination.

What’s interesting to me about Hustlers Haven 2.0 – Legacy Edition is that it is not simply about celebrating success but looking at the mindset of survival. The project makes listeners ask themselves who wins, who loses, and what people will do when the priority is to get ahead.

Kaciny looks back at love, memory and loss with latest release “Rewind”

Kaciny

Kaciny’s latest release, “Rewind” is a deeply personal song about heartbreak, memory, and the desire to change what has already happened, laying bare the raw shock of a relationship ending. Whereas the end of a relationship is often something distant or easily explained, this track comes from a difficult place where memories are fresh, and the past can feel impossible to leave alone.

There’s something instantly relatable about the concept behind “Rewind.” When a relationship ends, the mind replays conversations, moments, and choices, imagining how things might have turned out differently. Kaciny takes that emotional instinct and makes it the center of the song, giving the track a personal quality that comes from facing the aftermath of love instead of acting as if it can just be forgotten.

“Rewind” feels grounded in the uncomfortable space between acceptance and a desire for another chance. Heartbreak is its subject, but the real power of this book comes from the memories that surround it and the human desire to rewrite an ending that hurts. Kaciny takes the final chapter of a relationship and turns it into a reflection of what we hold on to when someone is gone, writing a song that speaks to anyone who’s ever, even in a moment, wanted a rewind button in life.
