The Beatnuts are a hip-hop production and emcee team from Queens, New York. They are composed of Juju and Psycho Les, who have both been producing since the mid-1980s. They are best known for their 1994 underground hit, "Reign of the Tec", which pushed them to debut their first album, Intoxicated Demons, the same year. The album was acclaimed by critics and was eventually followed by a series of successful albums, like Stone Crazy (1997), A Musical Massacre (1999), and The Originators (2006). The Beatnuts have also featured and appeared on tracks with Cypress Hill, Fat Joe, Big Punisher, and other iconic artists. The Beatnuts have not released any new studio albums since 2006, but they have continued to remain active, from touring to producing beats for other hip-hop artists.
