The force behind Jay-Z’s Black Album and Eminem’s Recovery isn’t only a mega producer for hip-hop’s leading lights. Just Blaze (Justin Smith) is also a record connoisseur and regular host of underground club events in New York City. Blaze now brings the love to Tokyo in a night created by Tokyo’s Magic Stick Entertainment to showcase Blaze’s turntable chops. At Vision he’ll be joined by local hip-hop and electro scenesters DJs Watarai and Daruma.
