Exclusive New Mixtape from Los Angeles Rapper Be-1 “I’m”
On October - 26 - 2010
Tweet
Brought up in the West Adams District of South Los Angeles, Be-1 was raised by the words that blasted from his brother’s radio. Hip-Hop was his compass, guiding him through the streets of Los Angeles back to a single mother home, rhymes were his only direction.
His rough neighborhood is in sharp contrast to his schooling, having attended L.A.’s premiere private and art schools. He is trained in theatre and moonlights as a playwright.
Be-1’s raps are brutally honest and emotionally poetic. The 22-year-old’s reckless past and current struggles are the prime subjects of his lyrics, delving into his battles with drug addiction, anger, and most of all, truth. His music lacks humility, laced with pride in his West Coast roots.
Be-1’s newest project, his second mixtape, ‘I’m,’ is his testimonial. He refuses to sensor or modify any of his experiences or feelings because he insists on staying true to his music, and even more importantly, true to himself.
At the root of everything, Be-1 wants his music to become the story of his life and a tool he uses to uplift his community. He takes pride in his own unrelenting human nature. His contradictions. His hypocrisy. He is a believer in doubt, and uses doubt to fuel his creativity.

Crooked I Video Director Special Offer
On October - 21 - 2010
Tweet
As a special offer to the west coast community, critically acclaimed director Chris “Crittakal” Nelson, The Music Shop and co-editor William Knox Fletcher are offering to shoot music videos at a discounted rate.
In cahoots with west coast rapper Knoc-turn’al, Chris Nelson recently shot two major videos in Las Vegas starring Knoc and James Elizabeth. In addition to that, Chris Nelson is about to head to L.A. to shoot a music video project with Crooked I. Chris has also worked with Young Buck & C-Bo and is set to shoot the video for WC’s latest radio single “That’s What I’m Talkin’ ‘Bout.”
In the coming weeks, while Chris Nelson will be in Los Angeles to shoot a music video starring Crooked I, he is reaching out to the west coast community via Hoopla Media Group to offer his top of the line video services to the independent and major artists of the left coast.
Chris’ professionalism was commented on by west coast rapper Knoc-turn’al who shot two music videos with Chris this past weekend in Las Vegas:
“Chris is the best director I’ve worked with. And that says a lot, because I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great directors over my career while shooting videos with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and more. I can’t wait for my fans to check out the two videos we just shot, “I’ve been here for Years” and “Give me the Night.” I definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking to shoot videos in the near future.”
For those interested in shooting a video with Chris in the coming weeks while he’s in L.A. working with Crooked I, contact Justin Melo directly at lunaticmanagement@gmail.com

TweetCheck the interview with SABeats. He was the winner of the Mav feat Juice “til the sunrise” Remix contest
On October - 13 - 2010

First of all I want to give props to the winner of the Mav feat Juice 'til the sunrise” remix contest. SABeats is an 18 yr old producer from the Netherlands who seems to kick ass at these remix contests. We sat down with him and got a interview and also check out some of his production and the winning entry in the “Til the sunrise” remix competiton.
-When did you start producing hip hop music?
This might surprise some people, but I only started 1.5 years ago with producing hip hop.
I have been interested in music all my life, and I played the piano since I was a kid.
When I played the piano I always felt like I was better in making up music myself then playing someone elses music,
and when one of my friends was getting into hip hop he needed a beatmaker so I decided to start making beats.
-Who were your biggest hip hop influences?
I have many influences in hip hop.
I make all kind of beats, but my biggest hip hop influences are well known people like; J Dilla,DJ Premier,J.U.S.T.I.C.E League,Scott Storch.
But I have to say I also got influenced by some very good dutch beatmakers like FSGreen, Sir OJ, Hayzee (you have to check their music!)
-What approach did you take in making the remix to Mav feat Juice “til the sunrise” ?
When I first hear the original track, I felt like the original beat was good, but it needed more melody and more of a party vibe.
So I downloaded the acapella, found out the tempo and layed down some basic drums.
After that I played some melodies to it and then I started finetuning everything.
-What artists have you worked with ?
As you might or might not expect I haven't worked with too many artists yet.
I'm always trying to get in touch with artists, but since Im on the other side of the world things don't work out that easy.
I have worked with some dutch underground artists, but I'm really trying to get my name out in the music world trought these remix contests.
You can look up one of my other remix contests that I have won, it's with FreshDaily and the track is called Video Gamin'.
-What equipment do you use to produce ??
I use FL Studio to make my beats, but when I have to record vocals I use Cubase.
For playing my keys I have an M-audio midi controller, and to listen to my music I have some KRK monitors.
Most producers have way more stuff then I have, but I think you can make some crazy music with a laptop, keyboard and some good inspiration.
-What advise can you give to producers out there?
Do not watch those lame movies about how to make beats on fruity loops, I did this when I started and it made my beats sound like crap.
You really have to find out everything yourself, otherwise you are just gonna sound like someone who already excists (I always wanted to make Dr Dre beats, but I found out that this is not the way to be original….).
-Where can artists contact you if they would like to work with you?
I definitely need artists to come holla at me, so you could check me out at my myspace and send me a message www.myspace.com/sa-productions or you can holla at me on twitter @sabeats.
-Where do you see you self in five years in the production world?
In five years I see myself making music for good artists, I won my first remix competition when I was making beats for 6 months so in five years I think I can achieve some great things!
I'm located in the Netherlands, but I will definiteley make sure I'm as international as I can be.
Once again, artists who are reading this and are interested in my music, please contact me because I have enough music for everyone and I do all styles!
