An often-cited influence among DJs, Philadelphia’s Cash Money is credited with created one of the crucial scratches of the turntable art form – the transformer scratch. The ever-self-effacing Cash Money credits another DJ with the invention, but he is credited by those in the know as the one who perfected it. His mixes graced many of Sleeping Bag Records’ releases and his record with MC Marvelous, Where’s the Party At?, came out on the label in 1988. Since then, he has competed internationally, winning the prestigious DJ World Championship in the late 80s and has been named Greatest DJ in the World. If that honor wasn’t enough, turntable manufacturer Technics made Cash Money the first inductee into the DJ Hall of Fame in 1998.
