Junk Science is Baje One on the mic and DJ Snafu on the beats. Simple. Scott Thorough is their fellow Nuclear Family crew member/producer extraordinaire. Snafu and Scott Thorough made the beats for “Phoenix Down” using ALL original music played on 8-bit synthesizers (the same tools available to the musicians who created the original scores for The Legend Of Zelda, Contra, and Ninja Gaiden). They layered their compositions with heavy breakbeats and set the stage for Baje to do his thing on the mic. Yes, this is some nerd-rap and the group is f*cking proud of it!!

“Phoenix Down” is the first full-length collaboration between Junk Science and Scott Thorough, and it’s due out on 5-31-2011 on Modern Shark (Junk Science emcee Baje One’s own label, launched in 2010).
