On The Beat Podcast #01 – The Beatnuts
Welcome to On The Beat Podcast #001. In this episode, we pay tribute to Hip Hop’s unsung champions… The Beatnuts: Psycho Les, Juju, and former member Fashion (aka Cool Ass Fash, who later became Al Tariq after leaving the group.) The Beatnuts have provided classic material with lyrics and production since the early Nineties, but their Hip Hop lineage goes back way further than that. Formerly known as the Beat Kings, they found themselves becoming DJs because of their love of Hip Hop. While digging, The Beatnuts ran into Afrika Bambaataa (one of the founders of Hip Hop.) Bambaataa introduced The Beatnuts to the Native Tongues (De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Monie Love) and their career took off. The Beatnuts started their production credits with such artists as Stereo MCs, Common (sense), Fat Joe, Chi Ali and Monie love. Their beatmaking evolved into creating production for their own vocals. Their music, their contribution, their part in Hip Hop history is very import, so On The Beat would like to show how much we love them with our podcast tribute. This episode is mixed by DJ Excel of the Skratch Makaniks with commentary and discussion by mighty FlipSide Esq and Tisha Tuch… Enjoy.

Alfa Paare – Mercy (DOWNLOAD)
DOWNLOAD
Along with the original music & disco house we’ve been working on, we still find time to sneak in a few hardcore club tracks. Impulse had sent me the ruff concept for the Mercy track some time ago. It wasn’t until a very early flight back from Kansas City this past weekend that I was able to put it all together in my head & than later in the computer. We’re really pleased with the overall sound of this one. I have to say, I think this is the best remix thus far. There’s no doubt in our minds that this will create a frenzy on the dance floor!!!!
USE IT WISELY,
Alfa Paare.
G.P.P.R. Mixtape Tracklist
The homie @bamski from GPPR asked me to put a mixtape together for them. After a few emails back & forth we came up with the theme of the mix. We ran with “New Hip Hop”. Showing love to the young guns of Rap… & I snuck a couple new joints from a couple OG’s in there too for good measure. I’m really pleased with the overall turnout of this mix. So pleased that it runs 2 hours total. I wanted to give you guys a peak at the tracklist early so you know what to look forward to later this week.
Stay tuned for the DL link. Be sure to check out the GPPR site. They have some really fly clothing!
