30 min. Beat Challenge
So the story goes like this...
One Saturday night last winter Brandon, Zach, Ben, n'ka and I were up at Ben's studio just hanging out and listening to records and beats. Brandon brought along his MPC and was messing around on it, when some one (I don't remember who) came up with the idea that we should all try and make a beat using the same record, and we had to make the beat in under 30 minutes. Our intentions weren't to make a video we're just a bunch of guys that make beats, and this is what we do for fun. I happened to have my laptop on me and decided to start video taping the process. I'd been sitting on this video for a while now not sure if I wanted to do anything with it, the beats ain't that tight but fuck it! Here you go. enjoy...

Do people still listen to the radio?
I'm not talking about just having it on while you're in the car, I'm talking about tuning in at certain times just to listen to your favorite radio shows. DJing for the Beat Box on radioK I always find myself asking this question. When FranzDiego.com asked me to come join him, DJ Hecktic and DJ O.E.G to DJ the Beat Box (every Fri. 6-9pm) and turn the format into a live mix show I didn't even have to give it a second thought. I would always listen to DJ Abilities and K-Salaam on 2TheBreak-A-Dawn (now RSE Radio) every saturday when I was younger and tape each show because each show was like a brand new unique mixtape, the way that they would blend, scratch and juggle the records. Each show was dope!
