DJ Evil E’s career and passion for hip-hop began at just 16 years old alongside his younger brother, Hen Gee, in Brooklyn’s Weeksville Garden Projects in Crown Heights. In the early 1980s, their bilingual Afro-Latino Honduran parents relocated the family to Los Angeles in pursuit of a better life—an opportunity that would help shape hip-hop history.

After arriving in L.A., Evil E and Hen Gee became known as The NYC Spinmasters, quickly earning respect throughout the city, particularly within the Latino communities while still in high school. Their journey took a pivotal turn after hearing on the radio that Uncle Jam’s Army was hosting an event featuring one of the only rappers they recognized at the time—Ice-T. The brothers attended, introduced themselves, and soon began performing shows together.

That connection led to the formation of The Rhyme Syndicate, recognized as the first West Coast hip-hop movement. Now in his fourth decade in the culture, DJ Evil E remains a loyal and integral part of Ice-T’s touring and rap show schedule—an enduring symbol of trust, consistency, and loyalty.

Through decades of scratching, chanting, and rocking crowds on Ice-T’s albums and tours, DJ Evil E became part of an elite circle of hip-hop DJ royalty, sharing stages and respect with many of the genre’s most influential DJs and artists.

This legacy defines DJ Evil E The Great as one of the most respected, certified, and enduring hip-hop DJs in the culture today.
