Beat Junkies Talk About How Their Asian Heritage Influenced Music Careers

Who would have thought that the quiet unassuming suburb of Cerritos is home to some of the best hip-hop DJs in the country – maybe even the world? NBC4’s Hetty Chang talks with the master DJ Nazareth Nirza, better known as DJ Rhettmatic of The Beat Junkies and his fellow hip-hopper Jason Lee/DJ Jay Slim of the Cerritos All Stars about how their Asian American heritage influenced their music careers and how they connected with other cultures. There are so many hip-hop groups whose roots are based in Cerritos that DJ Rhettmatic says “there must be something in the water.”
