Turntablism & DMC Routines (Core Roster Selector)

J-SMOKE (J-Smoke) is a documented selector and collective member of [ALLIES] 5th Platoon & The Allies All-Star Beat Down. Representing New York City, NY / Miami, FL / San Francisco, CA, J-SMOKE helped shape ALLIES's battle wax legacy, hardware craft, and international sound system sessions.

“Uniting top battle technicians across NYC, Miami, and the Bay Area, 5th Platoon (Neil Armstrong, Daddy Dog, Roli Rho, Cycle) and The Allies (Craze, A-Trak, Infamous, J-Smoke, Develop) created the legendary head-to-head elimination format.”
