No Sellout

A longtime DJ/producer/graf artist from Queens, DJ JS-1 has been getting busy since the late \'80s, collaborating with a countless emcees from coast to coast. A member of the legendary Rock Steady Crew, he has dropped a gang of singles and break records, plus several full-length albums, including *Ground Original*, *Audio Technician*, and *Claimstake*. He\'s toured the world many times over, worked extensively with beatbox specialist Rahzel, and also fills in for DJ Premier on Preem\'s radio show \"Live from HeadQCourterz.\" On *No Sellout*, he enlists a dream team of top-shelf emcees to go off over his devastatingly funky, sample-saturated beats. Golden-era heroes Craig G, Prince Po, AG, Large Pro, KRS-One, Pharoahe Monch, CL Smooth, OC, and Sadat X all get loose, as do younger indie-rap royalty like Aesop Rock, Sean P, Vast Aire, Termanology, and Vinnie Paz, among many others. A rare record you can just let ride from start to finish, this is another sure-shot winner from JS-1.
