Many original Uprockers were also DJ's and many Uprock Crews were also DJ Crews and/or production companies. Crews like Dynamic Spinners and MTC (Music To Communicate) Jitterbugs were DJ's. Several members of Dynasty are also DJ's; such as King Uprock, Numbers, Break Easy and Danny Boy. Rockers dance to complete songs. Therefore, the Brooklyn DJ's blended and mixed rather than scratched just the break of the song. If you have the love and knowledge of the music, it is easier to rip-it on the dance floor with all your heart and soul.
