The Beatnuts are the legendary Native Tongues producers and rappers who built hip-hop's foundation with funk-heavy, jazz-sampled beats and a DIY crate-digger aesthetic. JuJu and Psycho Les deliver fiercely funky bangers that layer soulful horn samples and blues-tinged breaks into infectious hip-hop productions. Their unmatched stage energy and decades-long reputation for crafting some of the genre's most infectious beat-driven tracks make them essential.
