Christopher “DJ Breakem Off” Washington
Mississippi born and raised from the small town of Columbus, DJ Breakem Off’s passion for
music started as a youth collecting tapes and CDs analyzing the vocals, production, diction,
and artistry of his favorite hip hop and RNB artists. Throughout his 17 years of DJing, he has
created hundreds of mixes utilizing hip hop and RNB songs to move any crowd. DJ Breakem
Off mixes the love of old and new music that will get you to reminisce to a time where music
was great and full of life.
Breakem Off has worked along side with artist/producers such as Big K.R.I.T and Big Sant
(Multi Alumni), Fiend (Former No limit artist, Jet Life, Iron Gang), Kevin “Khao” Cates
(Intaprize/Grand Hustle), Tabius Tate (Formally BMF and on Love and Hip Hop ATL), Stix aka
Watts City, Three 6 Mafia, and Trey Songz just to name a few. He has always had a love for
DJ/artist mixtapes. He felt like that was a way for artist and DJs to express themselves when
nightclubs, radio, and record labels were not able to give the have nots a listen.
He has also created a couple mixtape series. One called the Cassette Tape Classics (you can
find on LiveMixtape) that includes mixes of UGK, Bone Thugs N Harmony, DJ Screw, and
along other various classic southern hip-hop artist, teaching the history of some of your
favorite artist/record labels and the other called “Play Me Some Pimpin” which is a nod to
the classic writers and performers such as Bobby Womack, Isley Brothers, Willie Hutch, etc.
Showcasing some of their classic hits from the past and how they are being sampled in today’s
music.
“It’s important to embrace the southern hip-hop culture. We are the ones that set the roots
for everyone in the music industry. They learn their talents here but carry it back to other
states and make it their own. I feel the south is the birthplace of ALL things musically
related.” – DJ Breakem Off
