DJ Bankrupt is the manifestation of the saying, "necessity is the mother of all invention"! Known to his family as Jason Hill, this master of mix tape creation and marketing was on the verge of actual bankruptcy when an artist named JQ, from Burbetto Productions, suggested he turn his extraordinary talents to the realm of music promotion and mixtape production. Investing some of his waning financial resources into the necessary equipment needed to get started and pulling together some of his contacts from the music world, Hill transformed himself into the now highly sought after persona of "DJ Bankrupt" and began the process of creating one of the most unique and influential promotional networks in independent music history.
