Cadillac Warning

Description

DJ Spanish Fly is an iconic figure in Memphis rap. Long before the underground sound of the city influenced artists worldwide, his handmade mixtapes circulated from hand to hand throughout Tennessee and the Southern United States, defining a raw and powerful style that would become the benchmark for generations of rap producers. "Cadillac Warning" brings together a multitude of unreleased recordings from the 1990s, revealing the strange and hypnotic universe that Fly created with rudimentary recording equipment, drum machines, and powerful car radios. Taking its name from the talking alarm system of his precious 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, the album captures a time when the car was both a status symbol and his mobile HQ, transporting his music from clubs and college campuses to gas stations and streets of Memphis. Supported by artists like AAP Rocky, Legowelt, LIM, and many others, DJ Spanish Fly's lasting influence on the hip-hop landscape is sparking renewed interest on a global scale, both in underground rap and electronic music.
