Bio:
Joe Beats is most known as the sole producer of the duo Non-Prophets. Their debut album Hope was released on Lex Records late 2003. Since, Beats has continued as a soloist with numerous releases that thrust his production to the forefront.
Pitchfork Media – “Beats’ use of beautifully raw drum programming…and his mid-90s sampling style harkens back to Pete Rock and Prince Paul, or the low-end proficiency of a young Ali Shaheed Mohammed.”

Artists Bio:
Giant Step – The Polyrhythm Addicts were born in 1999, just as hip-hop was turning the corner into an era that was less about lyrics and truth. When Mr. Complex brought DJ Spinna and Shabaam Sahdeeq together he had only intended to drop one track for a Japanese compilation. That single, “Not Your Ordinary,” was so popular, it spurred the group into recording their debut album Rhyme Related.The Polyrhythm Addicts return now with scorching new member Tiye Phoenix.In addition, the album employs a mix of beats and live musicians to beef up the sound. Pharaohe Monch lends his skills to the mic on “Reachin”, while Phonte of Little Brother brings classic hip-hop flavor to “It’s My Life.” The record also boasts contributions from Planet Asia and many others, bringing together a diverse blend of creativity. “There still is a receptivity amongst the people for hip-hop to veer off in a new direction,” says Phoenix. “I think it’s what everybody is feeling like they are missing from hip-hop. Honest rhymes. Honest beats. And that pure love for the art form.”

GiantStep -
Sa-Ra, meaning “offspring of the most powerful energy in the universe;” the name also means “children of the cosmos”. With a variety of talent to draw from — the members were clearly established in the music industry before uniting — they focus on Om’Mas’ business acumen and his jazz background, Taz’s natural born winning attitude and street style as a “supreme visionary” and Shafiq’s deep resume and his exemplary talents as a rapper, singer, producer and songwriter (facets in which all three members indeed excel).

I control the masses, wit metaphors thats massive
Don’t ask if the n___a ruckest bash shit like cassius
I’m drastic, when it comes to verbs i be flippin
Cuz herbs jus be shittin off the words i be kickin
I scold you, double headed swords for the petty
But i told you, bitch n__az that headz aint ready
Now i mold you, back to the bitch that you are
Fuckin wit the ruckest get bruised, battered and scarred
