DJ Healthy
DJ Healthy is the beat moniker behind Leonardo Lakerson, founder and designer of Hong Kong cult streetwear label OKOKOK. Inspired by DIY aesthetics, '80s triad films and virtual culture, DJ Healthy has always had one foot in streetwear and the other in a dusty crate of records. With equal love for wav files as he does for gifs, DJ Healthy has put out a series of mixtapes under OKOKOK with Hong Kong based artists like Junkie.T and Delf to Los Angeles collective Pleasures. Expect road rap, grime, jersey club and '90s Canto Pop.
