45 King on Big Turntables but little records

There's just not many heads out there today who (a) have a collection of 45s like he does and (b) still rocks out with them at the skill level he does. These days everyone does 12" or Serato and there's nothing wrong with either of those approaches, but you have give The 45 King respect for sticking to his roots and being a Master at his craft. Enjoy...



Some more from the 45 King
