In most crews having one world title makes you stand out, but not in the Allies, where six of the seven members have a world title and four of the six have multiple regional, national, and world titles to add to the long resume they have accumulated in their four years of existence together.
With such an exstensive resume the Allies have broken the tradition of the dj playing the background and have now stepped in to the spotlight appearing on various television networks such as CNN, MTV, BET, FOX, NBC, and almost all of the major and local magazines and newspapers.
The Allies are also working hard to change the standard of being a turntablist as they enphasize all aspects of the dj such as beat juggling, scratching, body tricks and mixing into their live shows as well as mixtapes, LP's, Ep's, Battle records, and videos that are currently out in a store near you.
The Allies are Craze, A-Trak, Infamous, Klever, J-Smoke, Spictakular & Develop
