JazzyJeff.jpg

At last week's Pitchfork, Chuck D noted that some people didn't know that Will Smith used to be a rapper named Fresh Prince. And to add unto that wisdom, Jazzy Jeff wasn't always the bumbling friend, but also a world renown DJ and producer.

Will Smith doesn't rap much any more, but DJ Jazzy Jeff keeps doing his thing. This Thursday, as part of the BlackBerry Luxe Club Series, Jeff will man the 1s and 2s at Lumen, 839 West Fulton Market. Get your RSVP on and see how professionals do it. Even those you may have seen on TV. Show starts at 9.
