Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: DJ Jazzy Joyce
In the early stages of hip-hop, the art of DJing was dominated by men. DJ Jazzy Joyce is among the first batch of well-known female disc jockeys in the culture of hip-hop. She was actually the voice of the 1984 Tommy Boy Records hit by G.L.O.B.E & Whiz Kid, “Play That Beat Mr. DJ”. Jazzy is best recognized for rockin’ the funky beat on Sweet Tee’s 1986 single, “It’s My Beat”. As her cuts embraced Digable Planet’s “9th Wonder”, DJ Jazzy Joyce is globally respected as an idol of the art of DJing.
