The Beat Junkies - For The Record (Documentary) [Video]

" The World Famous Beat Junkies, comprised of members J-Rocc, DJ Babu, D-Styles, DJ Rhettmatic, DJ What?!, Mr. Choc, Icy Ice, Curse, DJ Shortkut, Melo-D, Symphony and DJ Havik have been putting in work on the turntables since they were first established in 1992. Known internationally as the premiere DJ crew, their longevity is a testament to their immense musical talents.

In celebration of the legendary Beat Junkies, LRG presents For the Record – a short documentary profiling the collective with contributions from the likes of A Trak, Q Bert and Peanut Butter Wolf – with DJ Jazzy Jeff commenting that “there are no DJ’s out today that haven’t been influenced by the Beat Junkies at all.” In addition, the Beat Junkies are heading out on the road for an international tour with stops across the US, Europe and Asia and this past weekend kicked off their tour at the Echoplex in Los Angeles, CA on June 30. Laced in commemorative letterman jackets from LRG that celebrates 20-years of hard work and hustle, here's to another 20 more in the game. " - Stones Throw Records

Black Star - Fix Up (Prod. Madlib) (Live On Colbert) [Video]

Last night on The Colbert Report Talib Kweli and Yassiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) premiered and performed Black Star's newest Madlib produced single, Fix Up with J. Rocc of the world famous Beat Junkies. Talib and Yassiin go back and forth on Madlib's trademark, sample heavy beat as one of the best duos to ever do it. Hopefully this means there is a new collaborative album in the works!

It's become increasingly clear that if you wanna keep a track on lockdown...don't give it to J.Rocc. The Beat Junkies DJ dropped this Untitled snippet produced by Madlib on BBC 1 Radio the other night which has had the internet buzzin' for a possible 2nd album? Hopefully this will be the comeback of one hip-hops greatest duos that we have all been waiting for.

This is a few years old but has been in heavy rotation on my iTunes as of late and definitely worth some recognition.

"J Rocc has these records and many of the records that sampled them, and J Rocc cannot stop making incredible mixtapes .... " - Stones Throw Records
