DJ OG CRAZY EDDIE
The terms legendary and icon best describe Edwin “Crazy Eddie” Myles. His mark on Music is a story to be told with a history as remarkable as Hip Hop itself.
Born in New Orleans, LA., but moved to Brooklyn, NY before his first birthday and then to the historical Astoria Projects in Queen, NY. It was in Queens that Eddie was introduced to the likes of Hip Hop historians such as The Disco Twins, The Disco Brothers and Eric B and Rakim. Being apart of the birth of Hip-Hop helped to mold Eddie into the Hip-Hop Icon he is today.
One of the most influential events during this time was his first meeting with Zulu Nation founder Afrika Bambaataa, who was apart of the legendary NY gang The Black Spades. That meeting led to Eddie being involved in many now infamous events and places of the day, such as The Roxy, Roseland, Studio 54, The Tee Connection, The Disco Fever and movies like “Wildstyle”, “Krush Groove” and “Beat Street”. His help in structuring Zulu Nation’s visibility and promotions for every event was invaluable. “Crazy Eddie” as he would become to be known, established a 24-hour hotline for The Zulu Nation.
In 1986 after “Beat Street” hit the big screen and “New York City Break Dancers” performed at the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan, Eddie was facing obstacles in illiteracy and drugs and traded in New York’s troublesome streets for his southern roots in New Orleans. “Some of my brothers ended up getting killed or doing 40 to life,” recalls Eddie, and that’s not the future he saw for himself.
His first southern gig was as a sales rep for M.A.P.S. (Marketing Advertising Promotions and Sales), servicing commercials for local companies. His new employers were so impressed with his work, under his direction they funded a local show called, ‘Showtime In New Orleans.” The one-hour show every week for one year which was executive produced by Eddie, showcased local talent from comedians, cooks to independent musicians every weekend. “Showtime” made Eddie a key figure in the Louisiana Hip-Hop scene.
He went on to establish a record store and helped to create sound-scans for the start of Cash Money Records in his ‘baby’ stages, (pun intended).
Eddie has an innate ability to promote music in all that he does and as a result, he became involved with pushing a young Master P into the spotlight by moving massive units of his Priority Records debut. Eddie continued with promotions for Priority and was influential with the careers of Master P, Heltah Skeltah and Mack 10. In 1995 he left the record store to pursue ventures with promotions on the road for the label that was later known as No Limit Records.
Word on the streets ran rapid about this promotion powerhouse and Virgin Records came calling to have Eddie handle street promotions for Rap-A-Lot Records. His overwhelming presence in the streets also caught the attention of Suavehouse. It wasn’t long before anyone who wanted to have a street presence in Louisiana had to come see “Crazy Eddie”.
Another one of his great accomplishments was working with Trill Entertainment. Eddie was helping book shows & work radio for Lil Boosie in 2002 & IN 2004 and a surging artist by the name of Webbie also burst on the scene. He would eventually leave the duo behind not long after the video, ‘Give Me That,’ due to company structural problems.
Soon after, Eddie went on to work for suck-a-free/Sony Records and supervised several retail accounts. At the same time, Eddie recalls that “working with Lil Flip was a great experience as I was on the road handling all the retail stores, booking shows and working radio”. During his tenure, Suck-A-Free Records averaged a half a million dollars a year, and was booked solid for two years at $10K a show, doing anywhere from 27 to 33 shows per month.
Eddie, now 3 years into Zulu Nation South, and founder of the International Disc Jockey Trade Association (IDJTA), the future is full of opportunities. Eddie’s persistence, strong work ethic, touch with the streets and obedience in God has maintained him through 4 decades in a what have you done lately industry, where he has seen many come and go. Eddie feels that “Overtime we as people realize how vital we are as a resource to the younger generation”. A teacher and educator, Edwin ‘Crazy Eddie’ Myles has turned coal into diamonds and is the epitome of what it means to be a Hip-Hop Icon.
