HHD has never done a Producer Of The Year accolade in our previous two years of existence but this award is warranted in 2013. No one is responsible for more ill beats in my iTunes collection from this past year than producer extraordinaire, Alterbeats (Twitter, Website, Facebook, YouTube). He has made bangers for some of … Continue reading Producer Of The Year: Alterbeats (2013)
I love it when two of my favorites join forces for a track. Alterbeats and Skeezo do damage with their track, Real Talk, off of the producer’s album, Class Struggle, which is out now. This track serves notice that real recognizes real and the more heads like this collaborate, the better off we all … Continue reading Alterbeats – Real Talk (ft. Skeezo) (Video)

This video is full of changes of direction, dope production from Alterbeats, and raw rhymes from Mic Handz. Every video that’s done for an Alterbeats’ cut is just extremely well done. There’s no getting around that. There’s also no denying Mic Handz’ opportunity to achieve his dream. He has the skill, the production behind him, … Continue reading Alterbeats x Mic Handz – My Life (Video)

Alterbeats outdid himself with this production and Bekay was the perfect emcee to drop those lava rocks all across it. This is just one of those perfect combinations. The strings with the oriental flare over the crescendo of boom-bap flavor makes hip hop heads of all walks happy campers. Class Struggle is dropping in … Continue reading Alterbeats – Idol (ft. Bekay) (Video)
Alterbeats’ Class Struggle is dropping on October 29th. The two songs I have heard from the project have both been fantastic but I expect nothing less from the French producer. He also only works with some of the most gifted emcees in the game, so the combination of talent is always ill. This time … Continue reading Alterbeats – Grustle (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq, Skeezo and Mic Handz) (Video)
Alterbeats went out and got a couple of the most distinctive voices in the game for the lead single to their forthcoming project, Class Struggle.

Shabaam Sahdeeq is back with a song from his forthcoming project, Keepers Of The Lost Art, which unfortunately has a release date into next year.
