  Junk Science (Nuclear Family) - Do It Easy
Download   |   Stream

Junk Science is Baje One on the mic and DJ Snafu on the beats. Simple. These two young gentlemen met in high school in Brooklyn in the mid-nineties and started making music together on half-days and weekends. Not that much happened between then and when they graduated college. At that point, they moved in together and soon started working on their debut album, FEEDING EINSTEIN, an intelligent blend of DJ Snafu’s dusty collages and Baje One’s thoughtful commentary, a sound which has been compared to the likes of early De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.

In early 2005, they caught Scion’s attention when they won the car company’s NextUp song contest with their track “Roads”, a victory by popular vote which earned them a marketing deal which included a fully-funded music video directed by Andrew Gura (Madlib, MF DOOM, Nas etc.) The success of their video, and the quality of their then-finished debut LP in turn grabbed the attention of DJ Ese, the man behind Brooklyn’s Embedded Records, who released FEEDING EINSTEIN in November of 2005 to critical acclaim. Now they’re famous.

Junk Science have toured the West Coast with their crew Nuclear Family, and the East Coast with Mr. Lif and Akrobatik (The Perceptionists), The AB’s, and labelmate Cool Calm Pete. In between, they have also shared stages with Ghostface Killah, The Coup, The Pharcyde, Lyrics Born, The Beatnuts, Non Phixion, Spank Rock, Zion I, and many more. With a brand new 12" / digital maxi-single out now and a follow-up LP on the way, things are looking good for Junk Science to continue expanding their loyal fan base in 2007.
