Quiet Storm Vol XX (Come Chill With The 48 Crew)

Brian B

Brian B: When Brian is not indulging in music, he is vigorously studying to attain his masters degree in Business Management at the University of Nebraska @ Omaha. Brian is credited as being one of the first EMCEE?S to bless the Microphones of Omaha Nebraska; beginning as far back as 1982, Brian B & Dj Mario Scratch were rocking house parties, dazzling crowds and respectfully representing the new hip-hop movement. In 1990 Brian B began a 10 year Hyades serving as a solider in the United States Military. After fighting in Operation Desert Storm/Shield, complications from his involvement caused him to prematurely relinquish his title as a United States solider. In 2001, the Sharks Club of Omaha and a host of others influential names , amongst Houston Alexander, recognized his impact and presented him with the lifetime achievement award for the many years of service and his contributions to what is now considered a culture. Growing tired of commercialized rotations played on the one and only hip hop and R&B station in Omaha, Brian began 103.9 W Crazy Radio, in hopes of giving listeners a better variety of music. Brian B?s mission is to offer a greater variety of music, to the real music fan. Brian B strongly believes that, ?Music should take you on a mental journey; if the industry dictates who and what is played on the airwaves, then whose journey are you taking? Definitely not your own.? His vision is to see that youths and young adults have a greater appreciation for the roots, history, and the evolution of hip hop and R&B. Mario Scratch: When Mario is not in the clubs, he is holding down his 9 to 5 as an Optical Specialist for a nationally recognized retailer. He has been working in his current field for over 18 years and is credited as being one of the top optical specialists in the nation. Mario began his career as a Dj in 1982 by introducing Omaha Nebraska to the Hip-Hop scene. Over the years, he's been honored with numerous awards and has been nominated as the ambassador of Hip-Hop in Omaha. The "Incredible" DJ Leeper was born and raised in Omaha, Ne. Leeper's love for music comes from his mother. Every Sunday while cleaning, music could be heard coming from the Leeper household. During his early teenage years, Leeper was introduced to two of Omaha's pioneers in DJ'ing, Mario Scratch & MC Brian B. Mario provided guidance in mixing and scratching, while Brian provided knowledge on how to rock the microphone. From there, Leeper has gone on to rock many crowds including: The Ranch Bowl, Don't Drink The Water, The Grapevine, The Richter, Cleopatra's, The Seville and many others. In 2006, Leeper was invited by Mista Soull to join the Crowd Rocka'z DJ's. Shortly thereafter in 2007, Mario Scratch daunted the name "Incredible" to Leeper. Known for flawless mixes and his love for "red" Kool-Aid, DJ Leeper continues to heat it up in clubs, as well as here on Power 106.9. Leeper is truly one of Omaha's most Incredible DJ's.
