From there on he starts to live and breath hip hop and DJ-ing ... And his perseverance paid of, the name DJ HMD was born !
It's only 6 years later that DJ HMD releases his first (of many) Mixtape under the label "Illegal Mixtape", having such an impact on whomever listened to it, HMD became the topic of every conversation and with that came his notoriety in and outside of Belgium.
The rappers from LICKWEED with U-man and Krazzy ask HMD to be their official DJ. They travel througout Belgium for several concerts and festivals (f.e. Dour) as well as France during the football worldcup in 1998. DJ HMD becomes an international fact ...
