I received a tweet from Di genius the other day and noticed that included in this update was a new website about the "Di Genius one". I decided to investigate further. My first thought was "this website better be hot", I was not disappointed. Very nice and clean website. Di Genius also has his authority set up with all his social media tags.
A nice touch to the website is the Ustream live access to the Big Ship studios. Busy Signal, Elephant Man, Chino have all passed through lately to voice new tunes. This is the way a multimedia website should be. Take note.
