Thursday November 21 – MF DOOM Book Release – Philly, PA Quotes
DJ Jazzy Jeff – “When it comes to keeping the Philly Music tradition going, Cosmo has it locked. His knowledge is incredible, his crates are deep and his passion and skills make him one of my faves.”
A-Trak – “Cosmo Baker is hands down one of my favorite DJs. Very few DJs can read a crowd like Cosmo, first of all. My man can rock it in so many ways, and he continues to surprise me. Cosmo lives and breathes music and his knowledge runs deep!! He’s a virtual librarian of music.”
Questlove – “Cosmo, Cosmo, Cosmo… I remember Cosmo from DJing together back in ’92. Little did I know this guy would constantly keep me on my game like no other cat I know. He is always dropping that ‘This ain’t out yet’ game on us and I’m always dropping that ‘Cell phone memo note to cop that This ain’t out yet’ jam he played. When I grow up, I wanna be like ‘Mo!”
Diplo – “When I was still under 21, I would sneak in to see Cosmo play at his legendary Remedy party, which was a huge part of my foundation and inspiration in Philly. The dude has a sixth sense at turning a crowd out.”
Rich Medina – “I Love Cosmo like a brother. We were a huge part of each other’s growth as DJs, promoters and men in the 90s in Philly, and I have the utmost respect for his skill set and his work ethic. The dude is a beast.”
Eli Escobar – “Cosmo is everything I think a great DJ should be; versatile, skilled and before anything else, a true tastemaker.”
RJD2 – “Cosmo is the club DJ I aspire to be – smooth, seamless, on top of his game, knows exactly what’s appropriate at any given time. He’ll play the song that I’m totally sure could not be resurrected, and bam – gangbusters. He’s definitely that guy.”
DJ AM – “Cos is a Philly native with more flavors than a pack of Now N’ Laters. This flavor comes in handy when he’s deciding what tunes you’re gonna hear for the next few hours. Love this dude!”
DJ Premier – “SALUTE to Cosmo Baker – he’s a REAL DJ!”
