From the Big Apple to the Sunshine State, Hip Hop’s iconic DJ Cut Creator is now calling Central Florida home.
When asked what brought him to Florida, the answer was simple.
“It’s the Sunshine State”, said the legendary deejay. “Just change new opportunities. Bought a house and just want to relax a little bit. Want to work a little bit”.
He’s doing just that, already booked to deejay the Timeless Hip Hop Brunch hosted by rapper and music executive MC Serch this Sunday, Feb. 11 in downtown Orlando.
The brunch is one of four in February themed around love and Hip Hop. DJ Cut Creator will be spinning at the “I Need Love Brunch” from 2-7 p.m. at Proper on Orange Ave.
Of course, we asked, and he said he will play the classic record “I Need Love,” but he also needs to be shown a little Central Florida love being new to the area and all. This brunch serves as an official “Welcome to Orlando” to help the extremely talented selector feel at home. What’s there not to love about that, right? There’s more.
The venue is unique, the selectors only spin vinyl, guaranteed to bring a certain nostalgia that compliments the unique decor and overall vibe of the stylish club. Cut Creator said he’s looking forward to spinning vinyl again.
“I love the pops and crackles because I feel like it brings that nostalgia back and just reminds me of listening to them back in the day,” Cut Creator said. “I think also the changing of the record, you know, going from one to another not just you know, one platter. Yeah, you know, 12 edge, you know, the going from one to another is always fun.”
The Hip Hop legend even mentioned a few of his favorite records in his collection.
“I’m a big Run DMC fan. So I gotta have those classics,” he said.
Music wasn’t just something DJ Cut Creator decided to make into a career, it’s in his blood. His father, Jack Philpot, was a legendary saxophonist for Wilson Pickett — a major figure in the development of Soul music. Philpot also played with Sam and Dave as well as the Isley Brothers. DJ Cut Creator said his father played a fundamental role throughout his career. Jack Philpot was his idol.
Hear all about DJ Cut Creator’s childhood from watching his dad on the Ed Sullivan Show, how he met and became LL Cool J’s deejay and ended up on the set of Soul Train, to being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, all on the latest episode of Riff On This. Go ahead and show Cut some Central Florida love!
