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.

Colored Entrance….
When I saw this picture, something ignited inside of me that rarely happens. An emotion of sadness, and a built in reaction, that we live in a different world. Yes, we are evolving in a culture that once dominated discriminating against someone because of color, gender, social status, and even responsibilities. The thought of being treated fairly by the content of my character, once again is being plagued by societies need to judge. Judgement gives the character of you being right and someone else being wrong. When this character is exemplified by a group, it is distorted, and borderline racist, yet gives the one who is judging, Power.

L3GACI, understands that, Culture and lifestyle strongly affect behavior . One’s lifestyle is a collection of behaviors and habits that one is surrounded and subjected to. One’s culture is the setting in which one acts out behaviors and habits that make up one’s lifestyle. Just for one moment, imagine yourself in this picture. Not black or white, man or woman, child or adult, but a human being. Now look at the sign. If you belong to a group of people who judge others, watch this….

I truly hope your perception of judging others changes, and you stand up and take a positive action in your community, and not one of separating yourself. It’s your L3GACI, what are you leaving behind?
