Friday, November 20th marks the launch of the new independent record label, Beatrock Music. The party will also celebrate the label’s first official release, The CounterParts’ self-titled debut album. There will be a stacked line-up of live performances by label artists and affiliated musicians from all across California:
THE COUNTERPARTS:T-Know, BraelanB, Otayo Dubb, Gammaray and Fatgums are patnas who have been making music together since the ‘90’s. Reunited to form The CounterParts, this allstar crew is ready to rock the mic and turntables once again. Download their album Appetizer for free: http://www.zshare.net/download/50554513e6871707#. For more info visit http://www.myspace.com/counterpartscrew.
BAMBU & DJ PHATRICK:Two-thirds of the legendary group Native Guns, Bambu and DJ Phatrick have been spending the last few years rocking stages across the globe. These dudes bring it live. For more info visit http://www.bambu.la and http://www.djphatrick.com
RHYTHM NATIVES:Southern Cali’s illest live hip hop band cooks up an organic mix of hip hop, jazz, R&B, and soul. Now in the studio with producer Asi Friedman, the ‘Natives will be releasing their highly anticipated full-length album in early 2010. For more info visit http://www.rhythmnatives.com
OTAYO DUBB:After two records with acclaimed hip-hop group Co-Deez, Oakland emcee Otayo Dubb is going solo. ‘Tayo defines his sound as “Blue collar hip-hop for the Joe Dubsacks out here who like to light up a fat one and get their headnod on after work.” His solo debut, entitled A WOLF IN SHEEP’S MUSIC, will drop in early 2010 as a collaborative release from Beatrock Music and Hella Records. For more info visit http://www.myspace.com/otayodubb
POWER STRUGGLE:Spitting grimy yet intelligent Midwest rhymes over Mister REY and Fatgums’ sample heavy score, Nomi of Power Struggle brings a new rawness to Asian American hip hop. Watch for their new album entitled Remittances, slated to drop in December of 2009 on Beatrock Music. Download the album sampler for free: http://www.zshare.net/download/65378110473f7f9b/ For more info visit http://www.myspace.com/powerstruggle

AESTHETICS CREW:In the hallowed brew-school tradition of cup-in-hand rhyming at backyard house parties, the Los Angeles-based Aesthetics crew is here to put the fun back in the funk. Following in the footsteps of legends like the Get Fresh Crew, Native Tongues or 3rd Bass, Indi, Aidge and DJ Props fuse candid rhymes with melodic beats to create a refreshing sound in the midst of a stagnant hip-hop scene. For more info visit http://aestheticscrew.com/
ROCKY RIVERA:Rocky Rivera (aka EyeASage) is a vicious MC from San Francisco. She dropped her hood classic mixtape, “Married To The Hustle” in 2008 and is releasing her highly anticipated debut album “Rocky Rivera” soon. For more info visit http://www.myspace.com/eyeasagemuzikpage, http://www.youtube.com/eyeasage and http://www.guerillabusfare.com
BWAN & MISTER REY:The deadly combination of BWAN’s spitfire lyrics and Mister REY’s head breaking production make this San Francisco duo a force to be reckoned with. Together they send an arsenal of true-school Bay Area hip hop straight to the eardrums. For more info visit http://www.myspace.com/mistahrey and http://www.myspace.com/bwan1
The evening will be hosted by Bambu.
Mass Movement DJs and DJ Phatrick will be on the wheels of steel.

if you loved Raekwon’s first Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, you gotta cop the new Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II..
this is one of my favorite tracks off the album, dedicated to the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and produced by the late J Dilla.
back in 2005, the homie Lon hooked it up with Dilla’s unreleased LA beats, and this is one of the one’s that i really loved from those instrumentals. i’m glad Rae got this one..

“You’re A Jerk (Remix)” feat. Intellect, Aspect, ET, T-Know, & ReVision
DOWNLOAD mp3 HERE
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo visited LA on June 20, 2009 to consolidate support from her Fil-Am allies so she can run for Congress in her province of Pampanga in the upcoming 2010 elections.
She’s responsible for 1,013 political killings and over 200 abductions and disappearances, as well as countless corruption scandals such as vote rigging in the 2004 elections.
Her second term as President ends in 2010 and she can no longer run for the presidency. But she is desperately trying to cling to power.
Her alleged plan is to become Speaker of the House and push through with a Constituent Assembly (Con-Ass), where the Congress would vote to change the Philippine Constitution through Charter Change (Cha-Cha).
Then they would convert the Congress into a Parliamentary form of government, with herself ruling as the Prime Minister for an indefinite period of time.
What a jerk!

After a couple years in the making, The CounterParts’ full-length debut album is finally reaching its final stages! Actually, this album has been more like a decade in the making. See, we all have been friends since I was in high school. The story of how we all came together is pretty complicated, but basically Gammaray (who has been my best friend/music patna since kindergarten) introduced me to these emcees who were killing the open mic circuit in San Francisco back in 1998. I remember being particularly amazed by this one Filipino rapper named Mygraine. I had never seen a dude freestyle like him before. Hella energy, wordplay, and rawness - more than anyone else in the Bay at the time. Mygraine took a hiatus from the rap game to raise a family and is now back full force as the CounterPart MC T-Know. I met BraelanB soon after meeting T-Know. Braelan was also a freestyle monster. What amazed me about him, and what continues to amaze me, is his insight, poeticism, and complex delivery. You’ve never heard a rapper like BraelanB before, I promise. Otayo Dubb was the last CounterPart I met. Tayo is a straight up musician through and through. I’ve never met someone with so much soul and natural musical ability. His talent is very apparent on his previous release entitled Royalty as a member of Co-Deez. I really can’t wait until the world hears the music we have recorded over the last two years. Gammaray, T-Know, BraelanB, Otayo Dubb, and your boy Fatgums are about to bring it.
