Over 11 years ago the world lost one of the greatest DJ’s to ever be behind a pair of turntables. The iconic DJ from

Run DMC

showed the music world that the man behind the one’s and two’s is more than just a jukebox, but better yet the backbone of hip-hop groups everywhere. Beyond his superstardom,

Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell)

was known for his humble demeanor, giving spirit, and his all around kindness. It is rare in the world of entertainment that we come across a man whose heart is bigger than his ego, and with Jay that was always the case. We are left today with Jam Master Jay’s legacy, and to honor his birthday (January 21st), the legendary

TJ Mizell is not only the son of legendary Jam Master Jay of RUN DMC, but he also happens to be one of the most dope DJs in the game right now. In his new video he is featured scratching and beat juggling over the Williamsburg Bridge, as he powers his turntables on the J train using a car battery. This type of stunt has never been caught on camera before, and to our knowledge, never even attempted.

The PLX-1000 also has the familiar Pioneer CDJ looks with the beautiful brushed black finish and silver/nickel accents.

The annual Winter Music Conference held in Miami, Florida, can be one of the craziest places in the country to be in early spring, and this year was no exception. While there is a broad range of music being showcased, there is still a heavy hip-hop influence in the 305. Scratch Academy Miami was able to host a Scratch Summit during WMC and brought through hip-hop legends including 2 Live Crew, DJ Cash Money, and more. The summit included speech panels, DJ battles, showcases and other DJ oriented activities, all hosted by the renowned academy. It’s a beautiful thing to see turntablism thriving in sunny south Florida. Peep the recap video below.
