Jansport J FREE BEAT Competition

So I get asked alot about my beat making process. I decided to attempt to do a youtube video on the process. This lead to me giving away a beat for free. More on that later. Check these 2 videos. The first is the sample I use, and the second is me working on the beat. The audio skips in the second video, so bare with it:

So basically, I got an idea to upload the end result beat to zshare, and let YOU record your version of the track…and submit it back to me! I’ll be taking submissions until April 10th, 2009. The winning entry will have the track posted on The189.com, my myspace page, and a host of other blogs, as well as another free beat. No lose right? So check out the beat and send in your submission to JansportJBeats@gmail.com with BEAT COMPETITION in the subject line. Remember, April 10th! – Via Jansport J

The missing element of traditional Hip-Hop is the art of beatboxing. Big Faahz is out to bring more attention to it. By using his mouth as an instrument, Faahz has performed his skillz live with such artists as DJ Quik, Crooked I, U-N-I, Chino XL, Fonzworth Bentley, and many other acts. On the corporate side, his beatboxing has been featured in commercials for Gatorade and Church’s Chicken as of this date.

Faahz also has talents in music production. He has produced tracks for U-N-I, Hot Dollar, Mistah F.A.B., Ya Boy, and many other local artists. He also is the producer for The Wake Up Show on Power 106 and has his own radio commercial production that creates jingles for businesses that advertise on the radio.
