World-renowned DJ and one half of dance duo Duck Sauce, A-Trak, sat down with sneaker site Nice Kicks and dished on everything from his evolving sneaker preferences, to meeting Kanye West.
A-Trak, who is set to produce Cam’ron’s latest project, even revealed why Killa Cam is his fashion icon. He told Kicks:
“Cam’s just on some flashy, Harlem sh*t. He always has been. Cam, I think, does a lot of stuff to turns heads. He goes where the stereotypical male isn’t supposed to go, and he does it with so much confidence that he pulls it off. He’s definitely an icon. Now, people are getting tattoos of the Bart Simpson/pink fur Cam’ron image that just came out. He’s very iconic. I think for me, I tend to click with people that have very eccentric personalities.”
The Canadian spinner also got detailed about his time working as Kanye’s DJ for his first official tour:
“We met in London. I was doing an in-store performance at a record shop in 2004, just a few weeks after The College Dropout came out. John Legend was booked at that same in-store as me, and during the event I did something with a record Kanye produced. I flipped “Get By” by Talib Kweli and I also flipped a Jay Z record. Kanye was there in the corner with a hoody over his face – really just there to support John Legend – but he saw me go up there and do these routines with records that either he produced or his friends did. He really started to flip out. You could just see his eyes light up. As I’m finishing my routine, super randomly, Mos Def walks into the shop. Everybody started freaking out, a big mob scene started to form around them and Mos and Kanye started free styling.”
