Okkkkkk Sooooo ... in life...there are many obstacles that will be thrown your way during some point in time. Ya know...like...trying to figure out what went wrong with the last 2 Hangover movies. Or trying to find your way around the flats downtown in Cleveland...without ending up lost *even though you've lived here your whole life. Or maybe just even trying to force the new "Lancers" to be just like the old Lancers...before it burnt down down. Yeah I 've had to try and overcome many obstacles in my life....but 1 of the biggest obstacles...that I thought I'd never be able to get over....was...trying to be friends with another cool as* female, a female that is doing something important in life, a female that can hold her own without feeling intimidated by my own small success or enormous dreams, a female that is in control of her destiny as well as her happiness. So when I was finally able to crack the outter shell of Cleveland's very own ...Favorite Female Dj...Coco Z The Mix Mistress....I was excited, honored, and curious...to meet....1 of the realist females EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
On occasion I would bump into Coco Z The Mix Mistress. Her being 1 of Cleveland's dopest Dj's, it wasn't uncommon for us to be at the same events. I must say... when I witnessed her receive her APPRECIATION AWARD at the Nerves Dj Conference , I myself felt a lil intimidated. I mean damn...she spoke with such confidence, and when she jumped off stage she was automatically swarmed with potential artists, fans, peers, and press ....all wanting flicks, comments, info, guidance, and 1 of her latest mixtapes. I kinda just let her walk past me....thinking...she's the real deal.
Coco Z isn't your average "female". I mean she doesn't play dress up in the mirror all damn day. Sneakers are her heels, her makeup isbare minimal...minus the super glossed lips...and her hair is natural. What's incredible about Coco Z...is that as soon as you meet her, and she smiles her huge smile...you have to blink twice...cuz she is naturally beautiful.Not only is she pretty but her as soon as she opens her mouth...it's nothing but positive, motivational, happy, real, confident thoughts that spew from her mouth.Coco Z is not 1 to pitter patter over things that bring upon sorrow. She has a way of reaching for the positive in damn near everything she does! You would think that someone who has faced many of life's obstacles like Coco Z, would have some sort of heavy chip upon their shoulder. Coco Z refuses to carry any extra dead weight.
From losing her mother at the early age of 9, or from being brought up by other family members, and working hard to support them, Coco Z doesn't seem to let it weaken her. When convos of her mother are brought up out of curiosity, she quickly swats them away ....even though the look in her eyes show a small glimmer of the past. Coco Z isn't like the stereotypical female, who loves to gossip or be the center of drama. Coco Z will quickly shut down any gossip that is forced upon her. She is quick to say "mannnnnnn I aint got time for nobody's business but my own". If she is on vacation she just wants to enjoy her vacation!!!! She has found a balanced way between work and play!
Over the next few months I became somewhat fascinated with Coco Z. I mean she has managed to take over Cleveland's nightclub scene, and internet radio with her own show called GIRL POWER RADIO with co-host "Kickagirl". Not just because she is a female, but because she works hard...and she holds her own against some of the cities toughest dudes.
When Coco Z personally invited me to be her guest at the COMA AWARDSin Cleveland I was thinking..."fukkkkkkkkkk.....OMG....I hope I don't do something annoying or dorky". Only because Coco Z seems so...tight....and focused. Yet as soon as I pulled up to Earth she was already standing on the red carpet...being interviewed with hella cameras in her face. I mean helllooooooo...she is the most awesome female DJ in Cleveland...duhhhhhh!!!Coco Z is the most genuine sweetest person you will meet once she opens up to you...if you are lucky to be someone she calls a "friend". She walked me in, and we took a tour of the COMA venue! It was freaking awesome!!! Coco Z was the House Dj for the event! I mean damnnnnnn she rocked it!!!!! She has a way of feeling music, knowing her crowd, and it's like she knows exactly what to play at the exact moment it needs to be played. Her whole set she rocked all types of music and the crowd loved it!!!!! Just when I thought Coco Z had pulled all of her tricks outta her turntables...I saw her kinda start to stretch behind her tables...then suddenly...BAM!!!! Coco Z was at the front of the stage "pop-locking", flexin, and dancing like she was tryna win a dance battle!!!!!! The crowd went nuts!!!!!!!!!! I went nutz myself, I still smile when I think of how cool, confident, sexy and friggin awesome she was.I mean I literally watched Coco Z flex on stage , then run back to her tables, spin a lil, and go back to flexin!!!!
Once I saw Coco Z...once I met Coco Z, and once I decided to call Coco Z The Mix Mistress...my friend...I knew...it's a must that you get to know her as well.There are many obstacles in life, and finding 1 of the realist, dopest, most independent, and confident females in the city was once an obstacle of mine. Until I met "It's Ya Girl....Coco Z The Mix Mistress"!!!! XOXO
