A new author, who is named Sidney DCsidney Thomas, has a new book out titled Diamond in the Raw. Diamond in the Raw is about Hip Hop culture in the DMV and the struggles face up to know. With a strong GO Go community and no radio support, independent hip hop artist have a hard time getting out of the shade.
In one chapter in the book, Wale names was dropped. Wale is almost a household name around the world but, the dude that was in Wale's camp that maybe double dipping is DJ Alizay. DJ Alizay is best known for his work on the radio station and in the clubs. Many people don't know that Alizay is a A & R person too and, he has worked for various labels
People think of Alizay is double dipping because of the statement from the book.
From the book, someone made this statement about DJ Alizay , Wale, the industry and radio
’Vt’s a very fine line. Look at DJ Alizay (WKYS) - at one time
he was Wale’s manager, and he also works as an A&R for Studio 43 and other
labels. That type of relationship raises some interesting questions, ls he getting paid
to be an A&R, or is he getting paid to spin your records? I’m not suggesting he’s
doing anything illegal, but it seems to be a conflict of interest. "
"Paul Porter agrees that the line between what’s legal and illegal in the radio
business is very thin.

The streets are looking to hear Alizay comments on this situation
