The DJ, rapper and producer, aka Derrick Jones, got his start in hip-hop during the 1980s, with the legendary group, Boogie Down Productions, alongside KRS-One and DJ Scott La Rock.

Since Monday, he has been hosting daily jam sessions appropriately titled, “Homeschool,” live from his personal Instagram page, keeping spirits high with an endless playlist of hits — even as people practiced social distancing to prevent the spread of the infection, but the party had the effect of uniting many through music.
