DJ Hurricane Talks Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and More on The Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast
Manage episode 433827977 series 3549984
DJ Hurricane is an iconic figure in the hip-hop world, particularly known for his influential work with the Beastie Boys. He is being inducted to the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame on August 24th, 2024.
Starting his journey in the Hollis, Queens area of New York City, Hurricane honed his skills alongside Run D.M.C., where he initially gained recognition as part of the Solo Sounds crew and later as a member of The Afros.
His early years were shaped by close collaborations with legendary figures like Jam Master Jay and Davy DMX. Hurricane's deep roots in the New York hip-hop scene laid the foundation for his storied career.
Hurricane's association with the Beastie Boys began during the 1986 Raising Hell tour, where he served as a bodyguard and quickly became close friends with the group. This connection evolved into a pivotal role as the Beastie Boys' official DJ, a position he held for 13 years. His time with the Beasties saw him contribute to their rise in fame throughout the 1990s, playing an integral part in their live performances and studio recordings. Hurricane's dynamic presence behind the turntables became a hallmark of the Beastie Boys' energetic shows, and his contributions extended beyond just DJing, as he co-wrote tracks like "Three MC's and One DJ."
In addition to his work with the Beastie Boys, DJ Hurricane pursued a successful solo career, releasing three albums that showcased his production skills and ability to collaborate with a wide range of artists. His debut album, "The Hurra," released in 1995 on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, featured guest appearances from the Beasties themselves as well as other prominent artists. His subsequent albums, "Severe Damage" and "Don't Sleep," further solidified his reputation as a versatile producer and rapper, with contributions from artists like Kool G Rap, Xzibit, and Public Enemy.
Even after parting ways with the Beastie Boys in the late 1990s, DJ Hurricane's influence in the hip-hop world remained strong. He continued to produce and release music, contributing to the broader hip-hop landscape through his production company, Don't Sleep Productions. His legacy is not only defined by his work with one of the most influential rap groups of all time but also by his enduring impact as a solo artist and producer.
