DNapper Perspective on Play It Back DJ

I’m Drum’ma Napper (DNapper), an artist, producer, and recording engineer. I’m the president of Apprentice Ent., where I oversee music releases, content, and operations. Born and raised in Milwaukee, I founded Apprentice Ent. in 2008 as an underground record label, which has since evolved into a full entertainment company. Now, we operate as a production, marketing, and publishing company under our parent brand, Apprentice Trading LLC.

I started as a producer, so I created Play It Back DJ from scratch. My love for music and nightlife started early—I went to my first house party at 12, a teen club at 15, and straight into the club scene at 21. Since I never went to college, I was always partying with the generation above me, which shaped my perspective. At 21, I wrote this record to celebrate hip-hop culture, dance culture, and the DJs who keep the energy alive, all while making sure the women who love nightlife feel entertained.

This record is a high-energy blend of hip-hop and dance culture, designed to bring the party to life. It’s a mix of hard-hitting beats, catchy melodies, and feel-good vibes that celebrate nightlife, DJs, and the people who love to move. Whether it’s in the club, at a house party, or just riding with the volume up, my sound is all about creating an unforgettable experience.
