On the next episode of DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIC...

Chicago club DJ @JayIlla takes us behind the scenes as he opens for TI at the UIC Pavilion,
why local DJ's should ALWAYS have an advantage over visiting ones,
and what happened when he played "Ice Cream" and "Incarcerated Scarfaces" when opening for Chef Raekwon in '96.

Yeah It's good he can laugh at that.
My very short DJ career had some bad moments too.
But I don't know a reputable DJ that doesn't have one.
12703243, I used to open the hip hop shows at a local spot years ago

like he said sitting up there spinning when NOBODY is in the building was weird as hell. I cant even imagine doing an arena.
