Hip Hop Turns 50: A Collection of Pioneering Voices

In Conversation with King Tech

Davey D speaks with radio and bay area music pioneer King Tech about his illustrious career in the entertainment industry. Rod Sepand (born June 30, 1968), better known professionally as King Tech, is an American DJB-boy, VJ and audio engineer. He is one half of the duo Sway & King Tech.

 

DJ King Tech started off in the Hip Hop game as a B-Boy in the bay area. He initially joined the musical crews “Master City Breakers” and “Flynamic Force” and performed with them. By the time he met Sway Calloway, b-boy crews were fading fast in the face of Hip Hop culture. With King Tech on the 1’s and 2’s and Sway on the mic the duo represented Flynamic Force on their debut single, “We Wanna Rock You.” It sold 20000 singles in the bay area. The second single “Follow For Now” sold over 40,000 singles.
