You’ve seen him mix it up at events, and you’ve heard him play on one of the top Radio stations in Jamaica (Zip 103 FM), it’s all about ZJ West! We’ve worked with him over the years, and you can hear some of his work in the Mixtape section. Recently we got a chance to interview him and we spoke about his work, Yung Gunnerz, being a Dad, and much more. Without further ado, GET TO KNOW the Zipjock named West below!

ZJ West’s Daughter makes an appearance at times (lol)

13thStreetPromotions: West! Give thanks for having a chat with me. We’ve been working together for a long time but we’re finally getting this Interview done. For starters, many have heard the ZJ, heard him play at events, but who is Zipjock named West?

13thSP: How long have you been DJing for? How did you get your start?

13thSP: Describe your DJ style. What is your best way to rock the crowd during a gig?

13thSP: We first knew of you as a member of the Yung Gunnerz Sound. What happened to the crew?

13thSP: Tell us about your start as a Zip Jock. What got you put on as a member of Zip 103 FM, and what does it take to be one?

13thSP: What has been your most memorable moment as a DJ? Did you have a specific time when the DJing just wasn’t going well?

13thSP: With a few mixtapes under your belt, how soon are we getting a new one? Are we getting a follow up to 2016’s “Cumulus Clouds Mixtape“?

13thSP: We’ve collaborated before with the weekly “ZJ West Youngest Freshest Fridays” (ZJYFF) remix series. With season 2 on the way, what can we expect this time around?

13thSP: You’re also a father to a beautiful young lady. In a society where Fathers in the household have been decreasing, how important is being a Father to you?

13thSP: We’ve seen you rep the “Guh Places” and “Slang Teez” brands over the years, any plans for a “ZJ West” line?

13thSP: What’s next for the “Dream Chaser“? Care to share anything that has been under wraps?

13thSP: As a seasoned DJ, what advice would you give to those who aspire to be like you?
