On Oct. 6, a lively crowd of hip hop heads gathered at The Promontory in Hyde Park for the 6th annual 7 Wonders DJ Battle. The battle, curated by Ashanda Jai, allowed five local DJ’s to battle it out, competing in front of a crowd of roaring hip hop heads. There’s no doubt that Chicago DJ’s have helped mold the landscape of Chicago’s music culture. Chicago DJ’s are responsible for creating genres such as House, Ghetto House, Juke, and Footwork, all staples of Chicago’s party scene.
