- "I wrote that song in my bedroom while sitting on the floor. I remember presenting it to Kay Gee. I told him I had this song called "Hey Mr. D.J." I told him it reminded me of when I had block parties on my block back in Brooklyn. When I sang it to him, he laughed at me. [laughs] He thought it was a joke. But we recorded it, and everyone seemed to love it. So imagine that "Hey Mr. D.J." was a hit, there’s this group that no one has ever seen before, there’s no video for the song, the album isn’t done, and we hadn’t sign to a record label for a full length album yet. There was a bidding war for us." (en)
