Bekay takes some time to address the sweet science of boxing on his new track, Magic Man. Specifically addressing fellow BK native Paulie Malignaggi and his upcoming fight with Zab Juddah. Bekay conducts some fight music over some Al’Tarba production. Now if we could only get a new album!
Alterbeats – Class Struggle (2013)
I wish I had more time to do a proper write up of this release but as it is time is short and I want to at least let you know that i’s out there. I just finished giving Class Struggle it’s first listen and similar to their previous release, The French Revolution, in that it’s chocked full of bangers. I of course have my favorite tracks: Brass Knuckles by Halfabrick, Real Talk by Skeezo, and Idol by Bekay are tracks that will be on repeat.
But more than that I love the production that Alterbeats is doing. He just keeps getting better. You can cop this album on iTunes, Amazon, UGHH and elsewhere. You can also stream the album in it’s entirety at DJ Booth simply by clicking the link below:

Alterbeats – Idol (ft. Bekay) (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 just a few days, so make sure you mark the calendar.
Grim Reaperz – Blood Leg Vol. 1 & 2
I don’t have time for a full review of these EPs but I really find it necessary to showcase the material in these two pieces. I think they have gone largely unnoticed and they are too dope not to give a fair listen.
The Grim Reaperz are a production team out of France. (Yes, I know…France is killin’ it right now when it comes to production.) Too rock over their heavy hitting productions they have enlisted the likes of RA The Rugged Man, Bekay, Shaz Illyork, Reks, Diabolic, King Magnetic, and a slew of other dope artists.
So if you are a fan of any or all these artists, I am sure that you will dig these EPs. Vol. 1 dates back to July 2012 while Vol. 2 just dropped within the last month or so. Enjoy…and cop if you like what you hear.
Single You Out: Bekay – 15 Months Of Violins
Bekay has had enough! All the crazy thoughts going on in his head and the frustration of the last few months stored up, he goes for delf on his latest single. The song is edgy with no hook. Bekay just releases angst in the freshest way possible.
Enjoy…
Infinity Gauntlet – Anti-Angelz (Video)
Call me out for being asleep at the proverbial wheel. Bekay? Shabaam Sahdeeq? Red Eye? F.T.? El Gant? How the hell did I not know this was a group? And then they hit me off with this video? Shit, I am going to bed before I find out that I have been missing out on some more dope material…
On a more serious note, this cut is ill. Very ill. Does anyone else think that Bekay’s verse was the show stopper? Damn.
