World-Renowned DJ/Producer Releases Album Sampler

DJ JS-1 - No Sell Out Album Mega Mix

The Mix:  When making an album like DJ JS-1′s new album, No Sell Out, to say a lot of hard work was involved is an understatement. JS-1 was clearly up to the task, and three years, 21 tracks, and nearly 40 artist appearances after getting started, DJ JS-1 is proud to bring the masses his album. Putting on full display the DJ skills that JS-1 built the foundation of his career on, the sampler cuts deftly from track to track, giving fans just enough to have them begging for more.

The Background: As a member of the world famous Rock Steady Crew, partner of Rahzel (the world’s #1 beatboxer), and occasional tour DJ for KRS-One, DJ JS-1 has toured the planet with over 1,000 shows in more than 32 countries and hundreds of cities. During that time, the Queens, NY native has shared the stage with a wide variety of artists, including 50 Cent, RUN DMC, Maroon 5, Wu-Tang Clan, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Redman & Method Man, Wyclef, OAR, Dashboard Confessional, Snoop Dogg, All American Rejects, Mike Patton, and many more. As a producer, JS’ list of accomplishments runs just as long, having worked with a number of artists, such as Common, Will Smith & Jazzy Jeff, Immortal Technique, Big Daddy Kane, Dilated Peoples, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch, Brand Nubian, and Kool Keith just to name a few. For the past three years, JS-1 has stayed busy touring, producing, making high-profile TV appearances, and completing his new album. The result is an album will serve to make DJ JS-1 a household name for all within the hip-hop community.
