The three-time grammy nominated Dj, Producer and house music aficionado Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez grew up in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park and was one of the most prolific artists of the modern music age, has been entertaining and astounding the masses alike with his fusion of house, hip-hop, latin, jazz, soul, funk and broken beats. Here we have Kenny’s special live recording from the Bumpshop’s fourth anniversary and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.. Peace!!
Gonzales started his DJ career in 1985 organizing neighborhood block parties in his home of Brooklyn, New York, with his then musical partner, Mike Delgado. Under the Masters at Work moniker, the parties became quite successful and attracted Todd Terry who later borrowed the group’s name for two record releases. Terry returned the favor at a later date when he loaned Gonzalez a drum machine, which began his interest in producing beats.
