Craig “The Assassinator” Adams
Craig “The Assassinator” Adams (Teenage Years)
December 7th 1989
First off, I think a bit of history is important to understand this tape. I started collecting records at age 7. De Sean is my middle name which most family members referred to me as “Dee Dee” or just “D” as a kid. So my first DJ name was Dirty Dee until I became a teenager. As a teen I heard all the Chicago DJ’s (Hot Mix 5) use their real names or some part of their real name as a DJ name. So I came up with Craig “The Assassinator” Adams trying to be like all the Chicago House DJ’s. After high school sometime during college I changed my name one last time to who the world now knows as DJ Assault. Now that you know the history the name on this tape should make sense now. A mix tape of me as a teenager playing some of my favorite house records! I usually said the date before each mix and sometimes I even ran out of blank tapes because I recorded everything all the time. This is a tape I took… Ok stole from my mother. I laughed for 15 minutes straight when I found this tape because I taped over one of her church sermons. Guess I was out of blanks again damn LOL!!! I have 700-800 tapes all from the 80’s and early 90’s of Detroit and Chicago radio or just me mixing.

This is great — “Pump up the Jam”!!! Love how it’s your mom’s church tape that you dubbed over. I used to dub over tapes all the time too. Didn’t have money for blanks when I was a kid. It was cheaper to reuse the same tapes over and over.
LOL! My mother acted like she wanted to get mad when I showed her this tape about 2 months ago.
This mix blew my mind. Pure Gold!
Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed it and didn’t laugh at me. I wasn’t even in high school yet at the time. LOL!!!
