Montreal-born DJ A-Trak is going to take over the world in 2007, according to his management people via email. The kid who took the world DMC championship in 1997 at the tender age of 15 put out a DVD last year called Sunglasses Is A Must, and oh by the way hooked up with a guy called Kanye to take his decks 'round yonder world. THIS year he'll be releasing albums, producing other ones, doing a clothing line - you name it, the man they call Trizzy'll be up in it. Keep your eyes on him. Maybe this will help.
Speaking of hip hop - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five were recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame down in Cleveland, Ohio; they're the first rap artists to be so honoured. Also entering in are Van Halen, R.E.M. and Patti Smith, as well as the Ronettes, who I don't know anything about.
