Original Uprock Music

Many original Uprockers were also DJ's, and many Uprock crews were also DJ crews and-or production companies. Crews like The Dynamic Spinners and MTC (Music To Communicate) were Djs. Several people in Dynasty are also DJs, such as King Uprock, Seamstar, Numbers, Break Easy and Danny Boy. Uprockers danced to complete songs, therefor the Brooklyn DJs blended and mixed rather than scratch just the break of the song. If you have love and knowledge of the music, it is easier to rip it on the dance floor with all your heart and SOUL. That is why the Uprockers who are most familiar with the music are the best dancers. Below is a list of some original Uprock songs that one should become familiar with.
