The Baller Alert Show was packed with major gems as Ferrari Simmons and BT sat down with legendary DJ Holiday, who pulled up to share his journey from college parties to mixtape dominance and beyond.
Holiday took listeners back to where it all started—his early DJing days, getting his name while rocking college parties, and how Gucci Mane and Zaytoven helped him break into the industry. He broke down how he secured exclusive records, the importance of branding as a DJ, and how one mixtape with Gucci changed his entire career.

One of the biggest moments of the interview came when Holiday reflected on working with Nicki Minaj before she became a superstar. As the producer of Beam Me Up Scotty, Nicki’s only mixtape, he talked about her dedication, work ethic, and why he always knew she was destined for greatness. He also revealed how her loyalty remains strong to this day, with Minaj still showing love and support years later.
But Holiday isn’t just living off past success—he’s continuing to elevate. He talked about his transition into TV, from DJing the BET Hip-Hop Awards to working on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow. He also addressed the current state of DJing, explaining how DJs need to build their brand, know their worth, and pivot into new opportunities.
The conversation wrapped up with shoutouts to R&B Wednesdays, Hapalooza, and the DJs shaping the culture today. One thing is clear—DJ Holiday isn’t just a mixtape legend; he’s a blueprint for how DJs can turn their craft into an empire.
