The "Spit Therapy" Instore at Fat Beats!!!

This day was truly AMAZING in every sense of the word!!! I busted my ass promoting for this album and was still kind of nervous about what the outcome of the instore was gonna be, especially in a time when cd sales are at an all-time low. I had been to a few instores for dudes with pretty big names where only a handful of people showed up. However lol, the instore was PACKED!!! In fact, I was told that it was one of the most packed instores Fat Beats had in a MINUTE!!! That really meant a lot to me. From all the hard work I put into creating my music, promotion, etc. the day couldn't have been any better!!! Those who know me know that I'm extremely humble to the point where I actually felt awkward signing so many cds cuz I feel like I'm just a regular dude who loves rhyming and making beats lol. That's just me cuz all of this is just me doing what I love.

The New "Spit Therapy" is OUT NOW!!!

I haven't written to this blog in a minute since there has been so much going on in my life with the release of my new album, personal situations and just life itself. However, if you didn't already know, my "Spit Therapy" is out and available at Fat Beats in NYC (406 6th Ave), UndergroundHipHop.com, CDBaby.com, Amazon and I-Tunes!!! That should be enough for everyone to be able to find it. So far the album is doing really good and I am VERY excited about how everything is going down!!! I always dreamed of putting out music and this dream has become a reality. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the album and my music in general for believing in me and helping me make this all happen. I'm not the sentimental type, but I truly love you muthafuckas for real!!! LOLOL

Mr. Beatz's New "Spit Therapy" Album Coming March 30th!!!

It's finally official!!! The new and FINAL release date for my new "Spit Therapy" album is March 30th!!! I've had a few setbacks that kept pushing this release back, but now I'm ready to put it out there. I can also say that I put my blood, sweat and tears into this album in an attempt to create a timeless classic regardless of what everyone else is doing on radio or whatever. The result is amazing!!! This album is full of sick, raw Boom Bap production, ill lyricism, scratching, etc. If you've been longing for some raw Hip Hop that's missing from the radio then this is definitely an album for you to check out. Mark your calendars and PLEASE help me spread the word about it because I'm trying my best to make a lotta noise with this. That's all I would ever ask from anyone.

I don't want to give too much info away about the album, but I had a few friends like Poison Pen, Homeboy Sandman and Oxygen show up and stroll into the vocal booth during this album's creation lol. More info on the album release party and new videos coming soon!

Check me out on Ourstage.com and vote!!!

Mr. Beatz & Sha Stimuli Live on the Halftime Radio Show with DJ Eclipse!!!

Here's the recording from last week when Sha Stimuli and I were up on the world famous Halftime radio show with DJ Eclipse. The crazy thing is that our interview was during the last few minutes of the show, which is why my freestyle was so short. Sha Stimuli's verse is long, but the show was actually cut off during his verse. The recording obviously continues anyway. Shout out to my homie DJ Eclipse for this!!!

Mr. Beatz On Stage at the WORLD FAMOUS Apollo Theater!!!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to perform with a few other MCs and represent the Hip Hop Cultural Center at the WORLD FAMOUS Apollo Theater in Harlem during a couple of show they had for celebrating their 75th anniversary. I had a lot of fun and it was great to be able to rock on such an historic stage. So many greats have hit that stage and it's dope that I can now say that I've rocked on that stage! Shout out to Curtis and all of the other MCs who rocked for the Hip Hop Cultural Center!!!

Here's another really dope show of mine that's coming up on September 8th. The show is a joint release party for my brother from another, M-Tri and Tha Gecko Brothas. Also performing that night is my homie Niles who is also one of the nicest MCs I know right now! What makes this show even crazier is that it's being hosted by the LEGENDARY Dana Dane!!! Now you KNOW we won't let him leave the building without doing some classics on the stage that night lolol. This is another one of those events to NOT miss!!!

I'm happy for my homie M-Tri because he has been doing his thing with this Hip Hop for a MINUTE and now he's finally dropping a gem for everyone. He's another cat who is lyrically insane...dope as hell! So we're definitely gonna celebrate that night.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson...

It still hasn't set in with me that Michael Jackson has passed away. I, like many people around the world, was crushed by the news. It hit me hard as if he was a relative of mine or a close friend. To say that he was such a brilliant performer/individual is a huge understatement. He touched so many lives (including mine) and he will definitely be missed. It's so sad that this happened to him at such a young age.

What actually upsets me is the fact that the media has messed with him constantly for soooo many years and even now that he has passed they STILL continue to shit on his name and focus on the allegations, his debt and anything negative they can come up with. The man entertained the world in the music business for 45 years and the media focuses on his allegations from 4 years ago???? It's ridiculous!!! When Kurt Cobain committed suicide did the media focus on his drug use or anything negative??? I'm not gonna get deep into that one, but I'm sure you know where I'm coming from with that.

On another note...on the night that he passed away, I was in the city chillin in front of a lounge where I was about to attend the listening party for Rebel Star...the suddenly THIS situation just formed outta nowhere.



It just goes to show that he REALLY touched so many people. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!! YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON THROUGH EVERYONE WHO WAS TOUCHED BY YOU AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED!!!

The MC on the MPC!!!

I've just started pushing a new song this week as a single to hit people with while I keep banging out my album. The name of the song is "The MC on the MPC". I made up a little something for Youtube just so that people on there can check out the song as well. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR THE SONG!!! I might actually shoot an official video for it, but that's not definite as of now. Enjoy!



More exclusives coming soon in the next few weeks!

Homeboy Sandman Behind the Steering Wheel! LOL

Here's an exclusive joint from Homeboy Sandman about him learning to drive a stick shift car lol. This is a joint that shows he's the type of cat to spit about anything and make it dope! Shout out to him!

The Hip Hop Cultural Center in Harlem, New York is holding its 3rd Annual Rapathon event this year. This event will be a 26-hour ongoing cipher on the stage with many dope MCs and DJs. It will set a record in the Guiness book for being the longest rhyme cipher. The current record was also set by the Hip Hop Culture Center last year for 25 hours. This year history will be made again and Mr. Beatz will be part of it! All MCs involved with the event are on individual teams and Mr. Beatz's team will be performing on Saturday, May 30th starting at 10 PM. Spread the word, come through and experience some live, raw Hip Hop!
