John Doe, a veteran turntablist from Cincinnati’s legendary 1200 Hobos crew, returns with his latest release, Gimme Some Elbow Room, dropped on May 9, 2025. Inspired by a line from Ice Cube in Da Lench Mob’s “Guerrillas in tha Mist,” the track showcases John Doe’s signature blend of dusty samples, sharp scratches, and turntable wordplay. Originally conceived for earlier projects, this piece has been reimagined to deliver a fresh, head-nodding experience that reflects his deep roots in hip-hop’s golden era.
