DJ CLUE

Forget charts and critical analysis-the streets are the true judges of this rap hustle. Just take a look at New York City's DJ Clue for proof. Born and bred on the mean streets of Queens, Clue rose from the hood with a hot series of coveted mixtapes. Slicing up the hottest freestlyes by hip-hop's current and future talents over blazing beats and his own scratched up flavors, Clue set the new standard for the mixtape. Top quality from front to back. With his Desert Storm clique, he made his tapes so hot it wasnÕt long before labels were using them as promotional tools. And only natural that it didn't take long before Clue earned a place on the Roc. With his first release on Roc-A-Fella, the sizzling set The Professional, Clue and his sideman Duro blew away competition with an endless collection of hot new tracks from the industry's best. DMX, Jay-Z, Nas, Noreaga, Mobb Deep and more came through to spit it for Clue. And the streets responded. Keeping one foot in the club and the other on the block corner, Clue keeps it rolling with furious hardcore knockers, mixing in just the right amount of hotness from stars like Mariah and Missy. It's on-so you ready for that exclusive s**t? Then you ready for Clueminati.
