The Beatnuts are a prominent hip-hop group hailing from Queens, New York, recognized for their spirited beats, sharp sampling, and bilingual lyrics, which effortlessly blend English and Spanish. Formed in 1989, the group originally consisted of three members—JuJu (Jerry Tineo), Psycho Les (Lester Fernandez), and Fashion (Bertony Smalls), who later left the group to pursue a solo career as Al' Tariq. The Beatnuts stand out in hip-hop history for their relentless dedication to maintaining an underground ethos, even as they garnered mainstream success with catchy party anthems imbued with a gritty, raw aesthetic.

Over the years, The Beatnuts have amassed an impressive discography marked by a consistent production quality and a knack for infectious hooks. Their work includes notable albums and tracks such as "A Musical Massacre," which showcased their dark humor and heavy beats, and hits like "Watch Out Now" and "No Escapin' This" that have become iconic in hip-hop clubs and parties. Their later releases, such as "Take It Or Squeeze It" and EPs like "Let's Git Doe," continued to exhibit their signature sound that solidified The Beatnuts as influential veterans in the rap game, respected by peers and fans alike for their unfiltered contributions to the culture.
