ZEKE ON THE BEAT a.k.a Nick Thompson
Whether you call him Zeke on the beat, DJ Long Stroke, or just Nick you can find him at a hookah lounge in Adams Morgan with his guitar; playing and singing his own brand of soul filled R&B and Hip hop; at the entrance of Blues Alley in Washington D.C. or on the radio at WPFW 89.3 FM. This naturally talented musician, rapper, singer, songwriter and producer has a raw, edgy sound with deep soul roots perfect for a long drive with the windows down and the stereo turned up.
