This was a very emotional mix for me because every song on here has a memory connected to Vic and myself.  Vic was such a good dj because of his exceptional ear for music (Vic also told Tupac one time that he would never make it.  He wasn't quite as good as an A&R... #LSMH).  Big Vic was a staple in the Atlanta strip-club music scene and he made a major impact at all the clubs he deejayed at.  Vic and some others were foundation Di's at Magic City, The Gentleman's Club, P leasers and more.  But Vic was more than a dj.  He was a man's man when it came to friends and family.  So every song on here has a special" Big Vic" moment.

I made this mix so that whenever I need the spirit of my friend around he (and his memory...) will always only be a beat away.  Enjoy and Remember "there's nothing wrong with the music business that good music can't cure..."

#GetAtMe

When I first met Vic, I had a music rag (newsletter) called ON THE BEAT.  It was the precursor to GETATME.  It was a quick InSite to what was happening in urban club music in Atlanta.  Never would I have guessed that our chance meeting would become one of my most cherished and valued friendship in life (I truly am feeling The Boy’s To Men cut “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday”) I will truly miss my friend. 

Vic and I are totally 2 different dudes and our viewpoints on things at times were caverns apart.  Vic and I could be like 2 old men arguing the same point for months at a time, neither relenting in our position.  It was this kind of stubbornness that probably cemented our friendship because neither one of us really had quit in us (Vic never gave up on one of his true friends...)  Vic had a sense of commitment to family and friends that I’ve never seen in no other.  If this dude was your friend, then that was that...  (Vic would constantly get on me about calling on birthdays, years later he finally had me trained to do it and would laugh that hearty laugh when I called.  I will miss that laugh...) 

People viewing Vic’s size (and swagger...) usually missed that Vic had a gentle poetic and caring soul.  As much as a nurturer as a protector (Vic was an amazing testament to how friendships should work...)  Vic never looked at friendships as work or opportunities but as partnerships with folks he liked (he will be missed by all...) 

With that being said, I can't say goodbye “my dude”, it not in me and maybe I’m just that selfish.  It really hard to say goodbye to yesterday especially when it’s a goodbye to someone who stood for so many good things.  So, I won’t.  Big Vic, your memory will stay with me until hopefully we meet again (Imma hold on to that...)  To the Matin Family and friends, I'm sending the biggest of shout out to the biggest of dudes.  Victor Martin, a man's man.  Until our path cross again, keep spinning those hits and GetAtMe
