According to the Zodiac, the Ox is attributed with traits of strength and familial loyalty. Nevertheless, they can be stubborn with their ideals and quick to snap on anybody who might violate tradition. Hailing from Virginia, Lyricks and JL exemplify these characteristics as artists who regularly speak on the struggles of the Everyman, yet quick to welcome any challengers, only to treat them like the bonus stage in Street Fighter. It’s a breath of fresh air in an era when rappers spit freestyles off their phones and mumble from the bottom of styrofoam cups. In 2016, the tag team released “Seven Rings,” garnering 10+ million views while definitely answering the question ‘can Asians rap? YEAR OF THE OX is set to debut their “YOX EP” and will be joining Dumbfoundead on a national tour.

When it comes to being a pure-bred DJ, there are few who match J-Smoke’s accomplishments behind the turntables. Respected as one of the most skilled all-around DJs in the global DJ community, this New York native brings the best of many worlds to the turntables as a seasoned veteran in the international DJ battle circuit. Coming up as a founding member of the prestigious DJ collective, the Allies, along with DJs A-Trak (DJ for Kanye West & 5-time world champion DJ), Craze (3-time world champion DJ), and DJ turned hip hop super-producer, Develop, J-Smoke and company made DJ history forming one of the most dominant and influential DJ groups to ever hit the international DJ stage.

After achieving a record-breaking amount of world titles with the Allies (the most ever in DJ history), and performing all over the globe with the crew, outside of the group, J-Smoke focused on fine tuning his craft as a DJ to cater his talents to a broader audience.

Applying his world championship winning DJ skills of scratching and beat-juggling to his now signature live DJ sets and critically acclaimed mixtapes, J-Smoke started making his name recognizable in other avenues in the DJ scene. To his merit, J-Smoke's weekly residency party in the Lower East Side section of New York City, went on to be voted "best music" in many local publications. In addition, his mixtapes went on to win numerous mixtape contests, demonstrating the diversity of his talent, and validating him as one of the most well-rounded DJs in DJ world.

These are just the few credentials that made J-Smoke's reputation one that has earned him opportunities to open up for some of the nation's biggest acts including Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Nas, Jadakiss, Kanye West, and Slick Rick.

ABOUT THE ALLIES

The Allies crew is comprised of DJs J-Smoke, A-Trak, Craze, Klever, Infamous, Spictakular, and Develop. As a collective, the Allies hold over 14 World Championship titles-- more than any other DJ crew in the world. With such an extensive resume, the Allies have broken the tradition of the DJ playing the background and have now stepped in to the spotlight appearing on various television networks such as CNN, MTV, BET, FOX, NBC, and almost all of the major and local magazines and newspapers. The Allies are also working hard to change the standard of being a turntablist. They emphasize all aspects of the DJ such as beat juggling, scratching, body tricks and mixing into their live shows as well as mixtapes, LP's, EP's, battle records, and videos that are available worldwide.
