West Coast hip hop history isn't complete without a chapter on the World Famous Beat Junkies. This summer, I turned my back for a minute and missed the Beat Junkie tourkick-off at the Echoplex in June. But, the tour is headed your way...here's the tour schedule.

  • Royal Arena,  Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, 18th August
  • MC Theater , Amsterdam, Netherlands 19th August
  • Jazz Cafe, London, UK 23th August
  • Nouveau Casino, Paris, France 24th August
  • Cassiopeia , Berlin, Germany 25th August
  • Mighty, San Francisco, CA 30th Sept.
  • Brooklyn Bowl, New York City, NY 21st Oct.
  • more U.S. dates to come.
Luckily, I can share this documentary to commemorate the Beat Junkies' 20th anniversary released by clothing label, LRG. Thanks for the schooling and amazing interviews!

The 14-minute video that outlines the history and influence of this influential DJ scratch crew from California with commentary from DJs Jazzy Jeff, A-Trak, Peanut Butter Wolf and Q-Bert.


LRG also released a Beat Junkie snap back baseball cap and t-shirt for all the DJ heads out there.
