To commemorate what would be the 52nd birthday of late groundbreaking DJ / producer and Scratch’s cofounder Jam Master Jay, his son TJ Mizell has teamed up with turntable artisan Skratch Bastid for a tribute to the legacy of JMJ. The three minute session features both turntablists laying it down on the 1s and 2s in an epic side by side performance. Mixing and sampling classic Run DMC tracks, the celebration of JMJ induces a fond nostalgia for the hay days of the trailblazing hip-hop pioneer. Peep the tribute vid here.
