SasterTV > It’s Just Begun – DJ DISCO WIZ
DJ Disco Wiz has written a book that has much more to do with life, than it has to do with music.
An amazing life story this man has lived , and like few others, he is fortunate to be alive and tell it. There are few books that cover such issues and real life situations that some of the youth today are really dealing with. This book is in the likes of Piri Thomas and others, but on some 2010 ‘ish’.
The strength of this man is truly amazing and there is nothing more ‘real’ than DJ Disco Wiz.
The title of his book reads, ‘It’s Just Begun’, and for this man, we know he has more than began to make his contribution to the culture and the lives of people interested in Hip Hop.
There will be a celebration of the life and book of DJ Disco Wiz next month. Celebrities like DJ Gradmaster Caz, Nile Rodgers and a whole bunch of others will be coming through, and there really aren’t many opportunities like this.
‘It’s Just Begun’ is a true Native New York tale, and it’s rare to catch books covering the history and lives of legends like DJ Disco Wiz. I’m hoping that a book like this triggers many more stories to come.

In the early 70s, EL MARKO 174 aka DJ DISCO WIZ was much well known in the early stages of nyc aerosol culture. His
outstanding signature consisted of his name & the popular top hat with the eyes logo that no one can surpass during the
evolutionary stages of subway aerosol writing. Also being a DJ, who went by the name of DISCO WIZ. He played in many
jams & DJ’d with other top Disc Jockeys by the name of RIP & CLIFF who were disco DJ’s, DJ SMOKEY & THE SMOKE
A TRONS, also spent many times in record shops & went writing with KOOL HERC. With factual devotion, with out question
there were many many individuals with multi talented capabilities that are overlooked & under estimated. This is why we are
were we are today with this phenomenon. Your average aerosol writer was also a great dancer, plus DJ, plus MC. Your top
superstar MC was a great dancer, devastating DJ, your MC was a subway superstar aerosol writing legend.
RIP “EL MARKO174″ aka Gregory “DISCO WIZ”
