TJ Mizell - J Train to Marcy Official Video

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.

Today’s video comes from the good homie and NYC native TJ Mizell. TJ 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. It is great to see a young DJ on the come up keeping the art of turntablism alive, and doing it in style. Stay on the lookout for more dope content from Mizell, and the rest of the DopeRoots Music Group.

Over 11 years ago the world lost one of the greatest DJ’s to ever be behind a pair of turntables. Today, on Jam Master Jay's birthday, true homage is paid.

In the past month we have had a couple features from the NYC rising celebrity DJ, TJ Mizell, and the content has been nothing short of awesome. Today, TJ raises the bar with his new music video with a special cameo featuring DMC (of RUN DMC) himself. Check out the visuals of Mizell and DMC chopping up Lorde’s “Royals” over Swizzymack’s “Drip”. Mizell collaborated with producer SEENO on the track, and what came out is pure dope.

A few weeks ago you may have noticed our post on DJ legend of Public Enemy, Chuck D. To honor the group, Serato released an exclusive 12’’ Serato x Public Enemy Shut Em Down Vinyl Pressing. Today’s turntablist video features Toronto native and disc jockey extraordinaire, Scratch Bastid, doing a quick scratch routine on the new wax. Short, simple, and dope!

Over the past few weeks, we have teamed up with them to talk with five of the hottest DJs in music today to see what kind of equipment they are rocking.

Many DJ's and turntablists who use vinyl will be very excited about this new product... The new company called Kutmarks have come out with some reusable vinyl labels in many different styles that can be attached and reattached to vinyl over and over again.
