On the hot summer day of July 18th 1981 in Jersey City, NJ a woman gave birth to a baby boy named Terrance Mouzon. Jersey City or as people called it Chill-Town was breeding ground for some of the hottest MC's and entertainers. Dub possessed, at an early age, a talent for poetry, art and a passion for music. So it was no surprise that by age 13, he was in the studio spitting rhymes for his first demo. Dub continued to make music all through High School and when he graduated in 1999, he took a not so obvious path. He enlisted in the Army and was immediately sent to Korea.
While he continued to record while in Korea, his main agenda was serving his country. Not long after returning from Korea, He was deployed to Iraq to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Bravo Battery 2nd 320th FA Battalion of the 101st Airborne Division in FT. Campbell, KY. It was during a time of War, that he would find peace in the mixtapes, Hip Hop culture books & magazines he would recieve in care packages. He listened & found himself studying the craft & art of the mixtape. After Dub was honorably discharged from the Army, He & his family moved to Georgia. That is when he decided to take his music in another direction. Being a huge mixtape fan, & becoming even more of a fan while serving his country in War, he managed to get DJ equipment. He began mixing and blending songs and discovered a passion as well as a strong talent for it.
Always a thinker & always using his imagination, he came up with the name Dub Floyd. It's molded from his fathers name Wille Floyd Butler. He later came up with the infamous "Mixtape's New Nightmare" alias, because he felt that he would be a threat to this new found passion of DJ'ing & creating mixtapes. To date, Dub has released over 20 mixtapes, including "Screamixx" his blend collection & the best selling series. Summer of 06' has been a blast for Dub, he released Hip Hop Dock-Trine: The Official Boondocks Mixtape. Sponsored by the good folks of The Boondocks, the cartoon seen on Adult Swim. A compilation of skilled names in the Hip Hop world, & hosted by Asheru who composed and performed the theme song for the hit TV show. He's had a numerous amount of great reviews on his mixtapes from magazines & sites such as Rapmullet.com, Rago Magazine, Ballerstatus.net, Yoraps.com ect. He has been featured on MTV's Mixtape Monday a matter of 3 times.
He is also a member of All Out Entertainment (All Out Allstars) ran by legendary Miami DJ, DJ Aspekt a.k.a Neva Trust A Skinny DJ. Dub has had the opportunity of working with many talented up & coming artists. In the summer of 06' he became a member & president of Team AFFicial DJ's appointed by Co CEO's Geolani The Boss & Montega aka Human Heroin. He's is now the newest member of the G-Mode Dj's.
