BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Two turntables have been DJ Slack's right-hand man for decades.
"Came to the Bronx in 1974, just when hip-hop was starting," DJ Slack said. "In 1976, I saw DJ Grandmaster Flash at Bronx River Projects. It was the first time I saw a two-turn turntable and somebody scratching a record."
DJ Slack, also known as Willie Aytch Jr., hosts 91.3 FM WBNY'sThe Gospel Party 716, where he's shared his love of music for the past two years. He's inspired the next generation of curators and writers, including one of his closest kin: his oldest daughter, Schondra Aytch.
Schondra's a popular Buffalo hip-hip enthusiast and the creator of Sneakvibing Media.
7 News' Pheben Kassahun met the father-daughter duo whose strong bond spreads throughout Buffalo's music scene and is taking it by storm!
"I used to see him at the studio all the time, covering and interviewing hip-hop artists. He's been doing that for years," Schondra said.
The pair have worked on several projects in the area. Their latest collaboration happened at Schondra's second annual "Ladies First" event in May.
DJ Slack has many titles, but his favorite is always "Dad."
"He is very gifted and I feel very thankful to have him in my life to teach me not just about music, but also about community and people," Schondra said.
