“This is my 2nd album and the follow-up to my debut, Solitude (2008). This project marks my vocal debut at my attempt at rapping while trying to shed some insight into my personal life. All in comedic fashion of course. However, halfway through the album, it takes a more serious route focusing on drug addiction, thoughts of suicide, domestic violence and so on. There hasn’t been a DJ album that clearly gives the listener a precise assumption of what a DJ has or hasn’t gone through in their personal life both on and off the turntables. My goal is to show that we’re just as complex mentally just like any other singer or rapper, the only difference is that we speak with our hands.” – DJ I-Dee

“This album is ridiculous, bizarre, hilarious, contemplative, dope, and always entertaining. I-Dee had me captivated the entire time because I truly had no clue what was going to happen next. An utterly unique listening experience.” – DJ Shiftee (DMC World Champion)
“I-Dee’s ‘DJs Have Feelings Too… But Can’t Rap’ is a sonic breath of fresh air for DJs and DJ fans alike. Think of I-Dee’s LP as a musical pulp fiction of stories which touch on subjects such as the passing of our fallen comrades GM Roc Raida and AM on “Off The Decks” and domestic violence, in easily my favorite song off the album, “Moral Sensitivity” featuring Jean Grae and Oddisee. Looking for good music? Then look no further than “DJs Have Feelings Too…But Can’t Rap.'” – DJ Rob Swift
“Easily the most immature, offensive yet thoughtful and brilliant album I have ever had the pleasure to publicize. From his exquisite creation of diarrhea noises via scratching on “IBS” to reflections on when a star DJ passes away in “Moral Sensitivity”; from offering problem solving solutions for DJs on “I Will Not Play Your Song” to glorifying the 1987 Chevy Nova, DJ I-Dee is clearly not just another DJ. In fact he’s even rhyming on “Part-Time M.C.” Comedy reigns supreme on some tracks while on others, the topics are deadly serious. This is the type of album Adult Swim wish they would have commissioned.” – Christie Z-Pabon, DMC USA
