About DJ Howie

My photo
I started February 17th of 2009 when I was 16. I was ass, and then after re-doing Mixtape Messiah 4, I finally started to get better. I would say that I was gradually improving all the way up until All Eyez on Me when I hit my peak at that time. That purple tape was amazing as hell, and I wish I fought harder to keep it before I went on Hiatus in 2010. I'm back now, and seeking to be an even better DJ than when I retired at 17

Meteora (Chopped & Throwed)—NEW 2025 RELEASE UPCOMING

Update from 10/28/25:

I've decided to re-do this and Hybrid Theory. Just like with 2001, these two projects I did back in my Datpiff days still get inquires even now. Posting the cover here as something to look forward to. There's a couple tracks I just uploaded as well that I'll include here. The post will be updated once the tape is mixed and released.

Don't Stay (Chopped & Throwed), 2025

Easier to Run (Throwed), 2025

Tracklist is pending. It will be available once the tape is mixed.

Reanimation (Chopped & Throwed)

Completion Update 10/28/25:
Reanimation is done! Next one after this will be Meteora, then I'll take a small break from LINKIN PARK to wrap up some Eminem tapes I promised...then I'll come back to finish Hybrid Theory and maybe even Minutes to Midnight. Stay tuned!

9/15 (Chopped & Throwed)

Finished this up shortly after mixing Controversy Sells. Enjoy!

Cover edited by DJ Howie

Full Mixes Update: Unfortunately, since 2001 was taken down due to multiple copyright claims in the same video...I will not be uploading full mixes to YouTube until I can get licensure clearance for each of the mixes. So going forward until that happens, I will just upload most of the tracks as separate videos over time. For some projects (like this one), I will eventually upload all tracks and put them on a playlist...but for now I think it would be best to space it out to prevent my channel from falling victim to closure due to infringements.

What I'll do instead, is include a few of the videos here for anyone to listen to and the download link will be at the bottom of every post. JetLife 🛩🛩🛩🛩

Kendrick Lamar - 6:16 in LA, meet the grahams

Late to the party, but I definitely heard this when it was new. Euphoria was my favorite diss track from the battle. I got excited making the video for meet the grahams and accidentally fat-fingered "n" in the video text.

Kendrick Lamar - meet the grahams

I'll put the DL tracks up once I finish euphoria. The post will be updated. Idk if I'll do NLU, might as well if I do 3 of the 4

Get Ya Mind Correct (Chopped & Throwed)—2025 NEW RELEASE

The new purple tape is here! Enjoy!! I recorded an interlude as well to kind of let y'all know where I was with a couple of the songs on this project as well as my attitude for coming back. I threw in a couple bonus tracks that I know weren't on the old one, and a sneak peek at the blend I am using for Controversy Sells. I'll let you guys have the slowed version; which typically is never my style...but this one is an exception since I'm back.

B.o.B - I'll Be In The Sky / The Whole World (Chops-A-Lot Blend) [Throwed & Slowed Collab]—2010

History of Purple Track: DJ Devinstation (Purpleand) and I formed Throwed Assassins together. That was going to be our power duo title as me and him had such dynamic chop styles but we complimented each other pretty well. You all know me for being a chop-heavy DJ...well he and Chops-A-Lot blow me out the water when it comes to the amount of chops they put in a song that still sound good. It's easy to slop a song up with too many chops....but it takes real skill to be able to chop the hell out of a song and it not sound like a mess.

Due to me going into hiatus when I did, I believe DJ Purpleland kept going for a little while before eventually going about his way. Hopefully the homie sees the posts I'm making so we can link back up. I'm sure we will have plenty of H-Town projects to collab on. Anyway, enjoy this 2010 track everyone! DL link is available as well if you're not able to listen to this track in your region.

2Pac - Picture Me Rollin (Chopped & Throwed by DJ Howie)—Purple Tape Recordz Induction 2010

My induction track into Purple Tape Recordz in June of 2010. Do expect me to come back to this project in the future. I can't touch it right now because I know in my soul I would not be able to chop up Can't C Me like the way I did it on this original mixtape. I was on another level with this. Stay tuned, I won't let the gems on this album go unheard.

The Owner's Manual (Chopped & Throwed)

Update from Howie: Here's the first tape I did on my return, The Owner's Manual. Shoutout to the Purple Tape Recordz DJs still chopping it up out there. I may not be like I was in my 17-y.o. prime, but it won't take me long at all to surpass myself. It'll be a fun challenge. For now, enjoy the more laid back version of my chops as I get myself back into the rhythm of things. It has been 15 years since I last did this...and I still enjoy doing blends! Track 3 and 4 are blended beats.

The Tonite Show: The Sequel (Chopped & Throwed)

Update from Howie (9/30/25): I'm back y'all! This wasn't the first project I did, but it already became one of my favorites and I wasn't even using cuts all that much like I did in my 2010 works. Enjoy! I'll be re-working on some of my older tapes that got lost in the wind due to Datpiff closure and zshare getting ether-ed off the Earth.

I will be working on getting some cover licensing so my mix of this can be allowed on YouTube. For the time-being, there is a playlist of the other 12 songs unblended you can check out before downloading:

Young Jeezy - All White Everything [Chopped & Throwed Blend]

Young Jeezy's All White Everything. Released back in 2010. I had a lot of fun blending this one. Link updated. Enjoy

Chamillionaire - Make a Movie (feat. Lloyd & Twista) [Chopped & Throwed]

Chamillionaire's Make a Movie w/ Lloyd & Twista. I enjoyed this track a lot, and it was at a point I had stopped chopping up Chamillionaire stuff for some months. Oldie from 2010 but goodie.

Recovery (Chopped & Throwed)

Somebody got this mixtape banned on MediaFire...and it was probably the same person who reported my 25 to Life video to be blocked everywhere on YouTube. I'm not sure who the hater was, but I've gotten so much retaliation with my works when I was coming up. Even Datpiff, they were the most egregious honestly. They used to ban me for uploading "album tracks" but there were 10s of hundreds of DJs uploading album tracks that were blended, remixed, chopped up, or hell even regular. They wanted to pick on me specifically for some reason...never touched DJ Fletch, or CrazyD, or Purpleland...I can go on. Anyway, it's on me that I have to re-mix these projects...but just know Datpiff is not some holy land of mixtapes like we all remembered it to be. They will sell out to the big hats, and I"m sure Spotify / Apple Music had a huge hand in why they aren't around anymore.

All of that to say, I will re-mix and re-release this project. Stay tuned, I'll put up a video for On Fire to symbolize I've finished this. I won't be able to upload the entire purple tape to YouTube since 25 to Life will get the entire video banned...craziness...

Here's the playlist for 18 of the 20 tracks:

Eminem - Despicable [Chopped & Throwed]

The Inspiration (Chopped & Throwed)—TBD

Status Update from Howie (10/2/25): I went on hiatus before touching this legendary album. I may come back to it, but I'll need to see how I feel after chopping TM 104 first. This might get batched up with Trap or Die 2.

Thank Me Later (Chopped & Throwed)—SHELVED

Sorry anyone who wants this purple tape. I have no intentions of re-doing this project in it's entirety. I uploaded the tracks I enjoyed the most on YouTube. I will share a few here for you all to listen to, once I bulk the songs up I'll include a DL link:

All Eyez on Me (Chopped & Throwed)—TBD 2026

Special Note (10/1/25): While I do strive to eventually reach the skill or surpass where I was when I first finished this in June of 2010, I am completely open to any awesome person out there who downloaded this from Datpiff or zshare to share it with me so I can upload every single track I chopped on it. I was feeling wary of copyrights when I first did this album so I refrained from uploading every track...but I made a terrible mistake in not uploading Can't C Me. I destroyed that track...I know I did...and now I can't listen to it.

So in the meantime, enjoy my other works while I aim to reach this level again. Thanks for tuning in and I'm sorry to everyone who tried to download this while I was on Hiatus!!

Project will be redone. All tracks currently on YouTube have been preserved, so those tracks will not get re-done except California Love. This could very well be a project I don't touch until mid 2026.
