1. A American Hip Hop group.
2. A Japanese instrumental latin jazz-fusion group.
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, Suprรชme 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.

โYo Yo Yoโ by The Beatnuts is a celebratory, dance floor-focused hip hop track designed for clubs. The song begins with a command for listeners to get on their feet and move to the beat. It is full of boasts and hyped-up insults aimed at other MCs who donโt measure up to The Beatnuts' standards. The first verse positions The Beatnuts as traditional hip hop artists who arenโt afraid to go head-to-head with anyone who disrespects them. They threaten to destroy their opponentsโ singles and videos, and even their producers and choreographers. The second verse is more playful, with Big Ju bragging about his masculinity and the attention he receives from women, while Juju promotes his hard-partying lifestyle.
The chorus is catchy and repeated often throughout the song. It consists of the MCs shouting โYo! Yo! Yo!โ ten times in a row, followed by a repetition of the song's title, โYo Yo Yo.โ With its upbeat tempo and chant-like repetition, the chorus encourages listeners to join in and shout along with the MCs.
Overall, โYo Yo Yoโ is a high-energy track that was designed to get people dancing and enjoying themselves in clubs. It showcases The Beatnuts' skills at both rapping and producing, with a bouncy beat and sing-along chorus that have helped to make it a fan favorite.
