Description:... DJ Disco Wiz was the first Latino on the scene that was already playing host to the legendary DJs Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa and Kool Herc. He took Brooklyn by storm, praised for his innovative style and no-fear approach to DJ battles. Street life, however, was never far behind him and he was convicted of attempted murder at the age of 17 and sentenced to nine years in jail. In an inspirational work, he shares how he overcame his struggles and forcefully embraced an approach of love and self-determination.
