DJ WHITEOWL

DJ Whiteowl, Drop That 245 intro (from the DJ Whiteowl channel)

DROP THAT

DJ Whiteowl was one of the busiest mixtape DJs of the 2000s. His Drop That series ran past 240 volumes, and every tape carried the shout fans still remember: “DJ Whiteowl, drop that!”

THE EXCLUSIVES

A Whiteowl tape was where you heard records first. He premiered Lil Wayne tracks and carried regular exclusives from Dipset and D-Block, next to his Whiteowl Down South and Best Of series.

THE LOSS

DJ Whiteowl died in June 2016 after a long illness. Joe Budden, Styles P and DJ Green Lantern were among the artists and DJs who paid tribute.
