Straight Official Sit Downs: DJ Mannie Faces & DJ Willybangz

on April 14, 2025 Interviews Straight Official Sit Downs TenthLetterMedia add comment

In the dynamic realm of Hip-Hop, few names resonate as profoundly as DJ Mannie Faces and DJ WillyBangz. As influential members of the Worldwide Fleet DJs—a coalition boasting over 700 members since its inception in 2001—these two artists have been instrumental in shaping the soundscape of independent Hip-Hop across the United States.

DJ Mannie Faces: The Cultural Conduit

Hailing from Indianapolis, DJ Mannie Faces is more than just a DJ; he’s a cultural ambassador. His work transcends music, delving into journalism, public speaking, and podcasting, all aimed at highlighting Hip-Hop’s potential to drive societal change.

Musically, Mannie Faces has curated projects that spotlight emerging talent. His “Crowd Control” mixtape series, with volumes released in 2021 and 2023, features collaborations with artists like A. Ali, NFL Simmane, and MoneyTrain . These compilations serve as platforms for underrepresented voices in the Hip-Hop community.

DJ WillyBangz: The Beat Architect

Based in New York City, DJ WillyBangz’s journey into music was influenced by his family’s musical roots. Since joining the Fleet DJs in 2021, he has been a driving force in the Northeast’s Hip-Hop scene.

WillyBangz’s discography is a testament to his versatility. His “Hip Hop Havoc” mixtape series, particularly Volume 3, features a blend of established and upcoming artists, reflecting the genre’s evolving landscape. In 2023, he released “Independent Artillery,” an album that underscores his commitment to promoting independent artists.

The Synergy of Collaboration

Mannie Faces teamed up with Willy to release “Nap York City.” This is an album that bridges the sounds of Indianapolis and New York City. The project showcases talents such as Illy Octane, Mojo, and Nike Bootz from the Midwest, alongside King Priimme, Budda Early, and Krazinice from the East Coast.

The partnership between DJ Mannie Faces and DJ WillyBangz epitomizes the power of collaboration in music. Their joint project not only merges the distinct sounds of their respective cities, but also serves as a blueprint for cross-regional musical fusion. By bringing together diverse talents, they’ve created a body of work that resonates with a broad audience. It exemplifies the unifying power of Hip-Hop.
