Earlier this afternoon, I had the pleasure to interview Jay-Z’s tour DJ, Neil Armstrong.

In this interview Neil explains how he got into DJing, how his mixtapes got him a spot in with the Roc Boys. He also talks about picking up signals from Jay when on stage.

I ask Neil whether he wants more a role during the performance and finally the DJ tells me about the mixes he has done for Jay’s live show including “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” at All Points West.

I had a chance to kick it with Neil before and after the interview. Not only is he a nice guy but you can tell he’s thought about his career. He is very articulate and intelligent.
