We first met vlad via myspace. He had a post for $200 mixtape hosting so i figured it might be a good look for my artist. We are a label based in london, but we have artists in the states. So we emailed him about his posting for $200, he then said it was $300- so we went back and forth then finally we got 5 horrible drops and it took dude a long time to get it done.
When i heard the "mixtape" he did, i started talking to other people in the industry and i kept getting the same response. I started to realize dude is a joke. Everyone had the same things to say: he books no gigs, talks too much, "uses myspace as a way to meet girls and scam new artists" as i was told by another big new york radio dj.
As u can imagine, we in london have never heard of him, but our artist in ny said he had heard of him from a mixtape he did about 3 years ago with another dj.
We are writing because dj vlad is not what you may think. People in the industry think he's a joke and if you are a new artist - do not have him do your mixtape because for $200 anyone can do it. It's not a good look at all. Especially cats in NY, they don;t respect him. Think about it for a second; this "dj" is doing any and everyones mixtape for $200 and wanting to book a show for $800 with airfare included. Does that sound right to you?
Keep your money. Dude is a waste of time. Horrible business man and not a real dj. Has anyone ever seen him spin? Don't think so.
We will not be using him along with everyone one else in ny. He washed up, old and shady.
Be careful y;'all.
