July 18, 2011

By Jos Smart | @JosSmart Back on this once again and this week I’ve pulled together four of my favourite albums / mixtapes that have surfaced since we last spoke. A couple of names that followers of beatsfix will be more than familiar as well as a nice dose of artists that might need a [...]

Beatsfix: RéY, Josh Osho, Ms Dynamite & Maverick Sabre

May 31, 2011

By Jos Smart | @JosSmart Yes yes. So it’s been a quick couple of months since the last Beatsfix and I finally felt it time to break out another update. The pace things move on the internet these days, taking two months out of the ‘blogging’ game is as good as retiring at your peak, [...]

March 28, 2011

By Jos Smart | @JosSmart Another week, another dose of music to add to your rotation.  Hopefully everyone had a minute to check out last week’s stand out mixtape, The Weeknd – House of Balloons (let’s be honest, Pusha T’s Fear of God didn’t match the hype).

Beats: Fat Joe ft. Raekwon ‘Pushing Keys’

February 25, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart As a rapper, you know you’ve reached a certain level when people want you on their track, not to rhyme, but just to bark coke laced boasts to close out a song. It’s a fairly niche service to offer but as long as you’re the expert then you’ll stay [...]

Beats: Tyler, The Creator – YONKERS

February 12, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart Eating a live cockroach. Vomiting. Nosebleeds. Bare chests. Multiple gold chains. Blacked out eye balls. Nooses. Suicide. Tube socks… and that’s just the video.

Beats: The Streets – Roof of Your Car

February 5, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart I remember the first time I heard The Streets. I was about 15 and after holding it down as a paperboy (wasteman) for a hot minute I took a huge career leap forward by becoming a kitchen porter (chefs bitch). Even as a teen I was on my grind. [...]
