What's better than sex, drugs and hip-hop? You may think of something better, but there is no combination that is more entertaining. The three combined is what DJ Vlad is bringing you with his new DVD release titled "Hot In Here."
The self-hosted DVD debut was edited by an elite team of editors from MTV, and Vlad feels that adds to the appeal of his flick -- knowing that it's not an amateur release.
"The quality of the DVD is crazy" DJ Vlad told BallerStatus.com. "It was put together by a team from MTV, so it looks like a TV show for real."
Throughout "Hot In Here," Vlad takes you everywhere from a party full of crackheads to behind-the-scenes antics of the porn industry's AVN Awards. The DVD features interviews with superstars like Fat Joe, Fabolous, Amerie, Ying Yang Twins, Akon, Baby Bash, and Trey Songz, not to mention adult stars like Mr, Marcus, Angel Eyes, Carmen Hayes, Ayanna Angel, and many others.
You'd think Vlad would be leery to include footage of crackheads basing up, but the DJ doesn't. Actually, he wants to show the average person what it's like in areas they've never been in, and in actuality educate them a little.
"I just wanted to show cats footage of sh-- they heard about, but may never have seen," Vlad explained. "Everyone's heard about crackheads, but if you didn't grow up in certain areas you've never seen that. And trust me, you not gonna wanna ever try crack after seeing that sh--."
On top of the DJ's travel antics; other features will be some of the hottest unreleased music videos and some interviews you will have to "see to believe."
With the new DVD and a slew of mixtapes, DJ Vlad isn't stopping there. He is already preparing the release of the "Hot In Here 2" DVD, which fans can preview on the first release.
The DVD is available now. For more info on DJ Vlad and to preview the "Hot In Here" DVD, visit DJVlad.com.
