Hey Young Hollywood, I'm Jill Wilderman.
Will you see the crowd behind me?
They're all here to celebrate the infamous DJ Vice's birthday and we're going to take you inside.
We're here with DJ Homicide.
Vice is uh, he's kind of like a old school DJ and he started off on Power 106 like I did.
One of the most skilled DJs out there.
He's my favorite DJ to listen to it.
I guess I started in LA on the radio, then I took that and I started DJing for the rock band Sugar Ray.
We made a bunch of hit songs, blah blah and next and you know, I just kept going and going.
Sujay picked me up with management.
Here I am.
Hanging out here with DJ Robbie Drum.
Lil Jon told me this.
He said, I love Vice.
He's like, every night's like New Year's Eve.
Like, can I get a good load?
Good load.
Vice has this energy.
Like he's the only guy that can go to a hip-hop club and play Metallica and have everybody just bounce.
We are hanging out here with DJ D Nice.
In this business, um, you see so many arrogant DJs, to see someone who's truly a nice guy and he gets up and he plays good music.
He's just dope, man.
Do you have a MySpace page?
Absolutely.
Dr. Dre, like these guys are like, sending friend requests and then next thing you know, we're like talking on the phone.

And at that point, I just temp over at LAX.
It's my last night right there DJing for my birthday, and we just, oh, we go it goes big.
