FOR THE RECORD: THE BEAT JUNKIES

LRG x BEAT JUNKIES - FOR THE RECORD: THE ONLINE PREMIERE

In 1992 Green Lantern rings were given to some of hip hop's illest DJs. The simple jewellery pieces ended up symbolizing so much more than what the world had anticipated. There is no better way to document some of the dopest musical talent than what LRG has produced for us. This short documentary is every hip hop lover's dream. Meet the Beat Junkies! J-Rocc, DJ Babu, D-Styles, DJ Rhettmatic, DJ What?!, Mr. Choc, Icy Ice, Curse, DJ Shortkut, Melo-D, Symphony and DJ Havik scratch and cut their way to show music addicts everywhere, just how much they have given to the music world. The best part? They're ridiculously humble about it.

Let's celebrate that humbleness. To share the 20th anniversary love, LRG presented each crew member of the Beat Junkies with custom varsity letterman jackets. So ill!

"I really thought that everything that could be done with turntables had been done, until I saw the World Famous Beat Junkies. It was just mind blowing...guys were doing a routine that I thought was absolutely impossible."

- Jazzy Jeff

Take yourselves on a journey through turntablism, inspiration and respect. The documentary hosts appearances by A Trak, Q Bert, Peanut Butter Wolf and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

The Beat Junkies have taken to an international tour to commemorate 20 years of fresh and "For the Record" gets you even more excited for the next 20. Dj'ing in style, true to their name, and every bit of amazing. This short documentary has put a staple on hip hop history. If you've ever had a favorite DJ crew that wasn't the Junkies, get ready to change your mind. Turn your speakers up folks, get inspired. This is fifteen minutes that you're going to want to replay a few times!
