[sg_popup id=”21″ event=”hover”][/sg_popup]DJ Jubilee, the New Orleans Bounce legend at Essence.

The “King of Bounce” DJ Jubilee made an appearance at Essence Festival this year to answer press questions. DJ Jubilee is a New Orleans Gem that we feel doesn’t get the credit that he deserves. Everyone in the room was singing along tO the lyrics as he broke the history of his music down.

The audience got out their seats when DJ Jubilee began the lyrics to walk it like a dog. This was a memorable experience that we don’t see anyone forgetting.
