Unknown Souljah - Fat Mix #3

I'm not sure if the state university in my home town attracted them or what, but there were always some interesting characters around. I didn't know him well, but Jeremy Kadinger seemed like one of those characters (though I believe he was a local). He was a few years older than me and my group of friends and our paths never really crossed in high school. But when I started going to school at Stout (the aforementioned state university), he opened a record store. I can't even remember what it was called. But it was at his store that I discovered that he was a deejay. And, to my surprise, he was a hip hop deejay.

Ack and I went in there a couple of times, and I have a couple of memories. I remember Jeremy having turntables in the store and flipping doubles of Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle" (at least, that's how I remember it -- could have been another song, I guess). I remember (for a fact) having Jeremy order me double copies of The Fab Five's "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka" 12 inch when it came out. And Ack somehow got this tape (not sure if it was at the store, or somewhere else). Anyways, Jeremy went by the name "Unknown Souljah" at some point, and he had a series of mixtapes called "Fat Mix". Fat Mix #3 won't blow your mind any more than the title will, but it does have some quality 90s cuts on it. Plus, it just takes me back to that time. It's interesting to think that there were multiple kids in my small town doing this in the middle of Wisconsin in the early/mid 90s.

I recently looked Jeremy up on Google, and it looks like he still lives in that part of the state, but now he's a Christian DJ and plays music on a religious radio station. Oh well.

Thanks to Ack for delivering this one.
