DJ Squeeky, a pivotal figure in the Memphis rap scene, has earned his stripes as a producer, DJ, and hip-hop artist, profoundly influencing the Southern hip-hop movement with his distinctive sound. Emerging from the cradle of soul and blues, DJ Squeeky began his career in the early 1990s, crafting beats and accentuating the unique Memphis style of rap that combines gritty lyrics with haunting, hypnotic production. He is often credited as a pioneer of the ominous and hard-hitting sound that would come to be a hallmark of Memphis rap and an influence on the larger southern rap aesthetic.

Over the years, DJ Squeeky has built a robust discography, including standout works such as "Mo Cheda Mobstaz," which established his reputation for merging menacing street tales with trunk-rattling bass lines, and "Tha Legacy," which showcased his evolution as an artist and beatmaker. With his more recent releases like "Underground Mixtape: Volume 9" and "Do My Thang Pop My Wip," DJ Squeeky stays true to his roots while also demonstrating his growth as an artist, continuously contributing to the hip-hop genre with raw lyrical content and masterful production. His influence can be seen in the works of many modern Southern artists, as he helped pave the way for the crunk and trap movements that would follow his pioneering work in the 90s and 2000s.
