June 19 is now DJ Mustard Day in Los Angeles.
“After starting out as a local DJ with gigs at Herb J Wesson’s district events, DJ Mustard has exploded, altering the culture of music in Los Angeles. He follows in the footsteps of music icons such as Dr. Dre, and is well on his way to worldwide recognition! Throughout his journey, Mustard has made sure to constantly contribute to the very community he was born and raised in. It’s only right that we recognize him in the City of LA with #DJMustardDay!”
