Prefix with beat or futurism (4)

I believe the answer is:

afro

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "configuration of locks" , "Of hair style, tightly curled and bushy" , "Shock description" , "Hair cut" , "Big curly hairdo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
