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!!!

Jay Z Promotional Pic

Usually I wouldn't post this type of thing, but I had to go to Long Island yesterday and caught this on my way to Penn Station. Things like this remind you of how big Jay really is. How many artists in any genre can have something like this posted on the back of Madison Square Garden?!?! and THIS big?!?! LOL

This is a test of posting from my cell phone. I added this feature so that I can hit everyone with updates from events!

*Mr. Beatz*

Mr. Beatz Performing at Southpaw in Brooklyn Sept. 8th!!!

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.

Mr. Beatz Freestyle on Return to the Boombox Radio

Team 3 - "The One"

Here's a dope video to check out. It's a collab joint featuring a few of my peeps and it's actually a video that has another Mr. Beatz cameo lol. The video was shot and directed by the legendary Ralph McDaniels of Video Music Box. So it was definitely an honor being part of this video because of his importance to the game and also since he aired my "Plain and Simple" video a few months back. I'll send anyone a pic of $20 bill if they can tell me where I am throughout the video! LOLOL

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!

Mr. Beatz in the 3rd Annual Rapathon!!!

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!



***DON'T FORGET THAT MR. BEATZ'S TEAM WILL BE PERFORMING ON SATURDAY, MAY 30th STARTING AT 10 PM!!!

***Here's a clip of my team doing a little rehearsal:

Solomon Jazz Video!!!

Check out this dope joint from my homie Solomon Jazz! This is a joint he did with another cat name Ra Luxor and together they call themselves the Skyscrapers.


***He is also dropping a brand new video next week for a solo joint called, "Sometimes I do" in which Mr. Beatz will have yet ANOTHER cameo appearance lolol. I think I'm getting a little out of control with these underground Hip Hop cameos ;)

Mr. Beatz Live at the Nuyorican!!!

The other night I performed at the world famous Nuyorican Poet's Cafe in NYC for the "All That!" show hosted by Homeboy Sandman. I wanted to make sure it was gonna be a classic performance since the Nuyorican is definitely a legendary spot...so my show had to be as well. With that in mind, I decided to bring my MPC on stage for a little treat to give the crowd something different. It was also mad different for the simple fact that I happened to rock 2 of my joints along with a live band instead of the song's instrumentals so it was definitely a classic night.





Big Shout out to my homeboy of all homeboys, Homeboy Sandman for hosting such a ridiculously dope show and for also putting me on the bill for the evening! Also, a super, duper, stupid shout out to my homie, Solomon Jazz who hooked me up with the dope video footage and adding his editing skillz!

New Dope Video w/Mr. Beatz Cameo!!!

Here's a dope video from my homie PCasso for the song, "Best in Show" from his "For Your Consideration" album. This video is mad dope for its creativity and the song's level of dopeness needs no mention at all. If you didn't know already, it features Von Pea of Tonya Morgan and Homeboy Sandman. I'll send anyone a picture of a $10 bill if they can point out my little cameo moments in this one lololol.

Mr. Beatz: Semi-Finalist for BK Hip Hop Fest!!!

Peace y'all.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was chosen as one of this month's semi-finalists for Brooklyn Bodega's "Show and Prove" contest for winning a spot on stage during the Brooklyn Hip Hop Fest!!! This month's contest show will be on April 16th at Public Assembly in Brooklyn. Check out the flyer below (I even made up my own flyer, which is the 2nd one lol). I really look forward to SMASHING this show so this is definitely a show not to be missed. I can also use the support because this year I'm really grinding hard to make noise with what I'm doing with this music. The more supporters the better!!!

Check out the flyers, MARK YOUR CALENDARS, spread the word and come out to a dope show!!! See you there!!!!

An MC to Look Out For...NOT TO BE SLEPT ON!!!

It's very rare nowadays to find MCs who really stand out in this game. Sometimes it may seem like finding Bin Laden would be easier lol. Anyway, here's a ridiculously dope MC to check out if you haven't heard about him already. His name is Niles (formerly known as Alias) and lyrically he's a beast. He's been making noise on the underground for the past couple of years, but now he has officially released his first single on Koch Records for a song called, "This Time". I'm posting a video clip of him doing a segment of "Spittin In the Wip" from the Crazy Al Cayne video show just to give you guys a taste of how ill of an MC he is. Right under the video clip is a link for downloading his single. It's a must that we support dope cats like this so check him out and spread the word!

Big Daddy Kane Documentary Coming Soon!!!

I had to post this one up. This is the dopest news I've heard in a long time. A new documentary is coming soon on Big Daddy Kane who is easily one of the illest cats to ever even approach a mic. He's also one of the first cats that made me wanna dismantle any mic I come into contact with. Here's a quick teaser to check out:

New Music Videos: Born Talent, Prezzure

Check out these new videos from my peeps Born Talent and Prezzure:

This video from my dude Born Talent features production and scratches from my dude The Avid Record Collector (who also produced my "Plain and Simple" joint that I have a vid for). The video also has a B side song "Place Where We Dwell" where they flip the Gangstarr shit to rep WESTCHESTER. Shout out to 914 cuz that's where I'm from for those who didn't know! Another shout to BT and the Avid!


This is a joint from my dude Prezzure. For those who don't already know, he's a BEAST as an MC and producer. His freestyle game is sick too. I'm sure you'll hear a lot more from this dude from now on. Shout out to him!

Cipher for Crazy Al Cayne's TV Show

This is a video clip of a cipher that jumped off before we all did segments of "Spittin in the Wip" for the Crazy Al Cayne Show. The cipher consists of John-O, M-Tri, me, Niles and Solomon Jazz. Solomon Jazz just had a beat playing in his crib and we all jumped on. Check it out:

Craig's List Post of the Month

I happened to be checking out the Craig's List website and came across this post in the musician community section. I don't mean to blow this cat's spot up with this, but I just thought the post was mad funny lol:



As funny as it may seem, I still wish this cat the best with his music. He obviously puts effort into his lyrics, which is something I respect about any MC doing this music...although, he is a self proclaimed "compound sylibil king" lolol.

Hip Hop Trivia???

Check out this Hip Hop Trivia quiz that I made up for all the true heads who claim they got mad Hip Hop knowledge lol. People have always told me that I'm like a walking Hip Hop Wikipedia so I figured I'd have fun with it. Check it out here:

Hip Hop Trivia Quiz #1

KNOW YOUR LANDLORD!!!

This post happens to be more on the personal side. It deals with a very serious situation that I have been placed in. This is very important for everyone to think about when you move into a new place.

A few months ago I moved into a a new spot and was paying the rent like normal. The place I live in is a 3 family house so I am not the only one who lives there. Within a couple of months of living at this house the heat, hot water and gas were all cut off. I confronted the "landlord" only to find out that the person I had been paying rent to was NOT the owner of the house at all and claims to be a person who "runs" the house for the owner. This information was never given to me prior to this situation. You would think that the person renting the place to you, collects your money and gives you the keys to the place is indeed the landlord. It only tells us that this idiot who was collecting money for the rent completely stopped paying the bills on the house and just left us hanging. This person is a fuckin crook for all I know. Now with this in mind, it's pretty obvious that if these bills aren't being paid then Con Ed is going to be next on cutting services.

Right away, many would think of just reporting this situation to the city. However, someone else in the house made this attempt and had inspectors came to the house, which presented a new problem. I personally confronted the inspectors who arrived and asked them what would happen upon learning that the house doesn't have heat, hot water, etc. They told me that if they conclude that the house truly does not have these necessities, they would have to shut the house down in which everyone has to evacuate the premises IMMEDIATELY and then they would hit the owner with violations. So basically, this would result in everyone being thrown out in the street. I told the inspectors that I can't let that happen and luckily, I was able to work out a deal in which they would go back and simply say that we weren't home when they came to check the house.

NOW, it's basically a race against the clock for me and the others in the house to find another place before the lights go out. This is really a crazy ass situation and I had to share it with everyone so that everyone really considers finding out AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE about any landlord that you give your money to. I had to learn the hard way, but that's life I guess. I've had the craziest luck over the past couple of years so this shouldn't surprise me too much lol. Don't be surprised if you get a call from me soon asking to crash on your couch!!! LOLOL

Mr. Mecca & Invizzibl Men Videos

I'm starting to feel like I need to have my own music video show lol. Anyway, check out these videos:

This is a dope new video by my homie Mecca. Shout out to him!

This is the new video by Invizzibl Men. I was actually supposed to have a cameo in this video, but the scene I was in was cut down to a fraction of a second and that killed my cameo appearance lol. About 1 minute into the song, there's a part where a security guard is beat down by Poison Pen and "a few others". Those "others" happened to be Vast Aire, AKIR, myself and Poison Pen along with the Invizzibl Men cats. Now I'm hatin' cuz Poison Pen got all the credit for beating that dude down! LOLOL I threw a bunch of punches and kicks in that scene and was hitting that dude for real like he fuckin stole something! LOLOL It was funny as hell for the people around to witness during the filming. I ain't mad though lol. Shout out to them, Poison Pen and my dude AKIR!

Here's another new video to check out from my homie Top $ Raz. He's a new cat who's really starting to make some noise on the underground in NYC.
