A fun fact about the man behind Biggie’s “Kick in the Door,” or KRS-One’s “MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know,” is that while he is a staple in New York’s Golden Era and signature sound, he is actually from Texas 💯
During the pandemic, Swizz Beatz paired Wu-Tang’s RZA against DJ Premier during an early Verzuz battle. Known for being one-half of Gang Starr, it seemed people forgot what an extraordinary producer he is 🔥

The Fu-Schnickens, whose members included Chip Fu (Roderick Roachford), Moc Fu (Joe Jones), and Poc Fu (Lennox Maturine), were most known for their hit song, “Ring the Alarm” and “La Schmoove” featuring Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest 💯
On Wed, Nov. 27, 1991, Hip Hop groups Leaders of the New School & Fu-Schnickens performed at Marquee in NY. Leaders of the New School, Charlie Brown, Dinco D, Cut Monitor Milo, & Busta Rhymes, hailed from LI & got their break after being chosen as an opening act 4 Public Enemy 🙌🏾
During the Golden Era, his awards show curated a space that exclusively showcased DJs (mixtape, club, touring, and radio). He would not let them be forgotten. So successful was his show, MTV called it “the GRAMMY Awards of the Streets.” 🙌🏾
The DJ has always been at the center of Hip Hop culture, however by the 1990s, those that spun started 2 fade into the background. A superhero named Justo Faison saw that plight & sought to change that— leading to the creation of Justos Mixtape Awards.
