1. The Beatnuts are a hip hop group and production duo from Queens, New York City. Its current members are JuJu and Psycho Les. JuJu (born Jerry Tineo on December 4, 1968) is Dominican American from Corona and Psycho Les (born Lester Fernandez on April 10, 1972) is a Colombian American from Jackson Heights. The Beatnuts were originally a trio before Kool Fashion, now known as Al' Tariq, left the group to start a solo career. The Mighty V.I.C. (Groove Merchantz, Ghetto Pros) was also a member of The Beatnuts' production team for a while.
Early on in their career they produced whole albums for Posse members Common Sense and Chi-Ali. Their production is noted as some of the finest and most accomplished, if unheralded, in all of hip-hop, often intricately detailed (as in their finely honed work for Mos Def on two tracks from Black on Both Sides) but more regularly barnstorming, club-friendly, flourish-laden party music. Jennifer Lopez used their track "Watch Out Now" as the instrumental for her song "Jenny from the Block". The Beatnuts produced more songs for the artists they had previously collaborated with as well as Fat Joe, Suprême NTM and Da Youngsta's. At the same time, The Beatnuts made their name as remix specialists by remixing songs for MC Lyte, Da Lench Mob, Naughty by Nature, Jomanda and others.
The Beatnuts are noted for being unabashedly, bullishly ribald and in-your-face performers. Recent Beatnuts albums are characterised by more Latin influences.
Less known is they are considered part of the Native Tongues collective. The Beatnuts are the only Latino members of the Native Tongues collective. Although only peripheral members, they are routinely acknowledged by Q-Tip.

Get hi hi high
We puff la la la la la la la la la
And we all just hi hi high
We puff la la la la la la la la la
Beatnuts get hi hi high
Junkyard
She had an ill shape she like a guitar
Light skin chick Dominican star
Offered her some drug in jar
20 minutes later I was getting stud in the car
Let's watch a little dirty tv, pop the ecstasy
Hide the little flash shorty selling ass for me
Smoke smoke when you're done I'mma poke poke
And I ain't gonna stop til you're little back broke broke
All the ladies shakin the ass
Got a la make me wanna take ass
You know the rules man take two and pass
Always rowdy rowdy since the day you met me
Especially off that leaky lead that Juju sent me
Grasshoppers catch contact
Then they be like
Can I get a hit?
Can I get a hit?
I puff la la la la la la la la la
I can't lie I get hi hi high say what
Aiyyo the avenues hot
So I'mma fly a couple days
Pack my bags walkman hit the fresh double As
Let's pick up a box of dutch masters so I can twist the bootays
Then a box of jim hats so when I stick a cutie
Aiyyo if this ain't the raw shit
Then what the fuck is
Why bitches wanna know where the function is
Why niggas always askin for production tips
Knowing damn well there ain't no touchin this
My break beats make me cut wind like baked beans
Catch me chillin pullin bitches on 8th street
That only want a platter of hot sex
We could get high so you can pop ex
I puff la la la la la la la la la
I can't lie I get hi hi high say what
In New York we smoke chocolate
Keep a loaded gun in the cockpit
And almost every night we on the block lit
Handlin the biz bagging the driz
Drinking beer between the buildings with the gremlin kids
Man I've seen a lot of things go wrong
Make me wonder how I be so strong
I got the heat to make the beef prolong
You know Ju ain't like the type to talk
Keep it movin if you like to walk
Sigue por alli
I puff la la la la la la la la la
I can't lie I get hi hi high say what
You all ready for this
Smoke it up smoke it up
Beatnuts
Catch a contact real quick
