dj BC received both acclaim and controversy after the release of the self-made album 'dj BC presents The Beastles', which was removed at the request of Apple Records, the owner of all Beatles intellectual property, including their songs. He went on to produce a second album named 'Let It Beast', with cover art by comic artist Josh Neufeld.
