Radio One's WKYS-FM Washington, DC, welcomes DJ 5'9 Davis as the new addition to "The FAM" in weekday mornings from 6-10am. Originally hailing from Orange, NJ, Davis attended Virginia State University and he's served as the official tour DJ for MMG artist Wale. Having spun for brands like Nike, The Museum, DTLR, Adidas, Under Armor and BET, he's known for being in the vanguard of the DMV music social scene and culture.

Danni Star said, "I love 5'9 because he's not afraid to speak his mind. He's a lovable a**hole. It works for him. I can't stand him, but I love him immensely at the same time. It's complicated. Listen to us and you'll get it."

QuickSilva affirmed, "He's defiantly the cousin that we all love to hate but hate to love at the same time. He says what most are thinking but afraid to say aloud. A perfect third member to The FAM."

DJ 5'9 added, "Becoming a part of The FAM in the Morning on WKYS 93.9, has been one of the best journeys and experiences of my professional career. I'd like to thank God, my family, management agency, LEGACY Est. and my manager LeGreg Harrison, who have been very instrumental in making this move."

Program Director J1 said, "I'm very excited to have 5'9 on the morning show. He brings a raw humor, wit, and intellect that just can't be taught. I am confident with the addition of 5'9; The FAM Morning Show will reach new heights." He continues, "5'9 will bring his quick witted humor from the Night Show which he co-hosted with Shorty Da Prince. He is also a very talented and established mixer and will mix during the 6am hour, while QuickSilva mixes during the 8am hour."
