RA: Man I’m gonna tell you straight up and down, its an honor to be acknowledged from all different type of people and all different walks of life…Man it’s a pleasure you don’t know how good it feels that people acknowledge you all different nationalities and cultures…

  S1: Let’s bring back to the days of Wildstyle(The 1st Hip Hop Movie)…Some catz might not know what the fuck I’m talking about…How did you get put on? Reflect on that for a minute…

  RA:  Well I started out by just watching DJ’s do they thing…So I started going to the disco, you that’s old school when you say going to the disco, but then on Saturday’s I used to go to a Kool Herc party and checked them out so that opened my eyes to go ahead and get involved and my cousin you Jazzy Jay saw what I was doing and I showed him the basics and he went and got his turntables before you know it he moved up in the Bronx  and Afrika Bambatta took notice of him and picked him up and Jazzy Jay spoke up for me and before you know it both of us was playing for Bam…

  S1: That’s definitely wassup…Public Enemy you gave them a lot of air play when nobody would touch them with a ten foot pole…I remember you playing Welcome to the Terrodome and Rebel Without a Pause for like 45 minutes straight…Break that down for us dawg how you broke a lot of catz…

  RA: Well I’m gonna put it like this if there is something I believe in that I share that I take acknowledgment of  and I feel it I go on it  and I didn’t care what names it was…Yo I don’t care if it’s a nobody if you sound good bottomline you getting play…I don’t play politics I don’t play favorites, I play records I believe in…That’s why I went after records like Public Enemy songs in the beginning…So if it sounds good I’m bangin it…

  S1: So real quick as far as your history is concerned , what do you think would be the staple 20 years from now? You know what do you think your mark is going to leave as far as music is concerned and hip hop?

  RA: Well the way I want people to recognize me as a person that brought you the sounds, brought you the vibe, brought you the attention, brought you a little bit of everything together…If I had a lot of people who I was looking up to before me and I see them to this day where it’s an honor that’s how I want people to look at me down the road…

  S1: Yo man how did you get that dope ass name? How did you cop that name?

  RA: My man Dennis…I used to be hanging out on the Grand Concourse in the BX chillin with my red fro and my man Dennis used to see me coming up the block and he used to be like Red alert, red alert and just stuck on me  and everybody used to like my vibe and be like he cool, he cool so I just put them together and became Kool DJ Red Alert…

  S1:  What can we expect from you the propmaster, the bum…What you got in the oven?
