new york times mag on dj drama and dj cannon …featuring dj ray liotta!

there's a great article about the dj drama and dj cannon mixtape arrests (and mixtape culture in general) in today's new york times magazine. it even features a mildly provocative quote from sneakmove's own dj ray liotta at the end!
