As the premier DJ on New York’s No. 1 hip-hip radio station Hot 97 for nearly 20 years, the Big Dawg Pitbulls boss has broken quite a few dancehall records stateside over the years. One track in particular was Capleton’s “Tour.” The hip-hop remix of the Fireman anthem was featured on Flex’s 60 Minutes of Funk: The Mix Tape, Vol. 2, and is sometimes referred to as the “Funk Flex remix”—even though it was remixed by Lil Jon, not Flex.
