DJ Clue

Not really a DJ in the "turntablist" sense, Clue's specialty is mix-tapes, which he's been cranking out since 1990. Easily identified by his tendency to shout his name over the intros to songs, Clue's tapes have often sported exclusive freestyles and unreleased mixes from some of the biggest names in the industry. After paying dues and building a rep in the highly competitive NYC tape circuit, Clue released his first major label compilation in 1998 with The Professional. In 2000 he came back with Backstage, a collection of tunes inspired by the film.
