Best of ‘08: DJ Kevlar

When he’s not covering the wide world of film and hip-hop for media institutions like URB, DJ Kevlar (aka Kevin Polowy) is one of NYC’s rising turntable workers—proving that ‘waxmaster’ might be one of the few recession-proof gigs, even in Burrough that brought us the bear market.

DJ KEVLAR’S TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2008

10. Rabbi Darkside – Building the Better Bomb and Hired Gun – The People’s Verses (tie)
