producer Dave "Disco D" Shayman continues to have an impact on the Hip-Hop
community, as fundraisers for the rapper have raised almost $10,000, which will
be used to teach DJ’ing classes at an Ann Arbor, MI teen center. According to
the Ann Arbor News, a portion of the money was raised from events in Washington
D.C. and New York, while the rest came from private donations in Disco D’s memory.
Youth at the local Neutral Zone teen center decided to use the funds to repair
an existing set of turntables, purchase studio equipment and have guest DJ’s come
in to lead workshops and teach the teens the various aspects of turntablism. The
teens also want to paint a mural on the wall in honor of Disco D’s memory. Disco
D was an upcoming producer who crafted tracks like 50 Cent’s "The Ski Mask
Way," Nina Sky’s "Turnin’ Me On," Kevin Federline’s single "Papazao"
and others. Disco D committed suicide in Jan. 2007, after suffering from depression.
