Give the DJ some! The world’s largest award show that honors the DJ is returning this year for the 3rd time. At a press conference earlier this week, Kid Capri, Funk Master Flex, DJ Premier, REVOLT CEO Keith Clinkscales, and Rob Kenner of Boomshots and Editor at Large at Mass Appeal announced the nominees for the nearly 30 categories as well as speak on the contribution of the DJ to the culture. I’m sure the category most are interested is the Celebrity DJ Of The Year (Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Solange, Swizz Beatz, Idris “DJ Driis” Elba, Paris Hilton). The full list of nominees as well as a short clip from the press conference are below.

GSA founder, Shawn Prez, had this to say: “Throughout my career I’ve formed long lasting relationships with the world’s most talented DJs. I’ve never understood the lack of recognition given to DJs for their continued influence on national and international musical currents and culture. The GSAs were created to fill the void and finally honor the DJs exclusively for their achievements, amongst their peers. Simply put, DJs deserve their own version of the Grammy’s.”

The official award show goes down November 18th at the New World Stage in NYC. The weekend will be filled with clinics, battles, and panels.
