Psycho Les started producing beats and <a href="/pages/w/114872298526837">DJ</a>ing at age 15 under aliases including DJ Les Jams and DJ Incredible. At a high school in <a href="/pages/w/104027572966614">Flushing, Queens</a>, a friend DJ Loco Moe introduced Les to fellow producer JuJu. While crate digging, both Beatnuts ran into hip hop pioneer <a href="/pages/w/103981189637303">Afrika Bambaataa</a>. Bambaataa introduced them to <a href="/pages/w/104004336302802">Native Tongues</a> members including <a href="/pages/w/108647692492512">De La Soul</a>, <a href="/pages/w/103798846326113">A Tribe Called Quest</a> and the <a href="/pages/w/103711386333756">Jungle Brothers</a>. At this time, JuJu and Psycho Les were DJing parties under the alias Beat Kings. The Jungle Brothers claimed that they were not kings, but rather two nuts for their comical nature and the fact that they were crazy enough to carry hundreds of records to every show they played. They thus changed their name and "it stuck." The two Beatnuts members later met up with rapper Kool Fashion.</p>
