DJ JS-1

DJ JS-1 is a New York-bred turntablist and producer who’s been slinging beats and scratching vinyl since the ’90s, carving his name into hip-hop’s underground and mainstream circles. Known for his razor-sharp skills on the decks, he’s collaborated with heavyweights like Nas, Gang Starr, and Masta Ace, while staying rooted in the gritty, DIY ethos of the culture. His recent projects, including *Stratagem* and *The Gate Keeper*, showcase his knack for blending boom-bap grit with fresh production twists, and his *All In Ya Mind* series (with instrumental versions) highlights his dual role as beatmaker and DJ’s DJ. Beyond the studio, JS-1’s rep as a battle-tested titan—with titles like three-time Scribble Jam champ—solidifies him as a lifer in the game who keeps the art of the scratch alive while pushing forward with new heat.
