DJ Green Lantern, aka the Evil Genius, rose to prominence practically overnight when he aligned himself with Eminem, who wanted to get his Shady Records label into the mixtape game. Green Lantern first hooked up with Eminem for Shady Invasion, which highlighted the Detroit rapper’s ongoing battle with Benzino, among many other highlights, including the DJ’s own remix of the Nas/2Pac collaboration “Thugz Mansion.” Eminem then called on Green Lantern for another battle-themed mix, Invasion Pt. II: Conspiracy Theory, which highlighted Shady’s then-ongoing fued with Murder Inc., including the popular Eminem/50 Cent/Busta Rhymes “Hail Mary” freestyle as well as 50 Cent and Snoop’s “P.I.M.P.” remix. Some other notable mixtapes by Green Lantern include Fort Minor’s official mixtape and the mixtape for the “And1 Streetball” game for Playstation 2/Xbox. Green Lantern was the first DJ to get his very own show on Sirius Radio’s “Hip Hop Nation” which is called “The Invasion” and is also a regular guest on Hot 97 in New York. In 2006, he became Jay Z’s official studio and touring DJ, and has since traveled the world with Jay Z.
