Popular DJ and radio-host DJ Envy announced recently that he would be leaving WQHT Hot 97.1 and moving on to its competitor WWPR Power 105.1. Envy had this say about his new position:
“I'm excited to start hosting afternoons at Power 105.1. Now I’m with the first person that put me on the radio, Ed Lover, and the person who taught me how to mix, DJ Clue. I'm honored to join a young team of talented jocks. The grind begins...its Movvinn!!!”
The official announcement was made today by Power 105.1's Program Director Combat Jack. Envy, who also has a show on XM/Sirius, is set to fill the afternoon slot from 2pm-6pm weekdays.
One of New York's leading mixtape purveyors, DJ Envy climbed up the ranks quickly and his reputation was so esteemed that Sony signed him and his affiliate label, Desert Storm Records, and in early 2003 released his commercial debut, The Desert Storm Mixtape: DJ Envy - Blok Party, Vol. 1.
After churning out four volumes of mixtape mayhem from artists such as Cam'Ron, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z, and the Lox, DJ envy doesn't plan on stopping. Growing up in Queens, this two-time Just-O Mix Tape award recipients has 10 plus years of ripping up turntables but there's more. Envy currently serves as President and CEO of BLOK Entertainment, his own management and production company that has already produced scorching tracks for artists such as DMX, Murderers, Funk Flex, Foxy Brown, Juvenile, Petey Pablo, Fabolous, and more.
