Confessions of a Beat Junkies Junkie

Related to Elements: Underground Hip Hop, Crate Digging, Mixtape

For those that don't know the Beat Junkies, it's time to wake up and smell some of the nicest mixtapes in the mixtape game. J-Rocc, the 'funky president' of the Beat Junkies has been named "the worlds best DJ" by several sources, one of which is www.Turntablelab.com out of NYC. I agree with that assessment, he really is the worlds best DJ. Besides that distinction, he has the honor of enlisting, firing, touring with, and collaborating with other Beat Junkies in his crew. Current members Rhettmatic, Babu, Melo-D, DJ What?!, Mr. Choc, and Shortkut each have their own distinct skill-set they bring to the (turn)table. Besides turntable composition, these trueschoolers have been blowing up DMC competitions, dropping countless mixtapes, individual productions for crews, remixes... you name it, this crew did it.

I have been trying to keep up with their countless CD mixtapes, but lets face it, they drop so much so often, I can't possibly collect the whole discography of unofficial releases. But so help me God, I will try!

Fellow Beat Junkie Fans: Please share your knowledge and mention on this thread any missing mixtapes dropped by the Beat Junkies, so I and other Beat Junkie Fans can have a more complete discography of their collective work. Thanks in advance!
