Now Visita Homemade presents FS Green, Full Crate and Grand Jackson who (under the name Visita Homemade) will be performing with homemade concoctions. Especially for the Visita Family they’re dropping an exclusive mini album. The album contains six different tracks, which will be released during the upcoming three editions off the Visita event. In case you were wondering who on the vocals…it’s the one and only Mar who will be performing live with the Homemade guys as well. We love this initiative and wish brands would do more to promote talented underground artists…real talent stands out! Photo by Paul Sijbers.

This Saturday (August 15th) Bacardi Visita is gonna get buckwild again for the third time. This time in Amsterdam at a marvelous venue on the IJ. Undercurrent Spaces is a floating location next to the NDSM grounds. Here they will hold yet another infamous Bacardi party.

The first time I heard “Going Fine” was during my daily Myspace shift a few months ago. I really liked it  but was let down cause I couldn’t get my hands on the track. Now the homie 14KT tweeted that the Going Fine 7″ is  available exclusively at Fatbeats LA.

Sorry we didn’t have time to update the website, but we were busy working on this event. Just a little taste from my man Lefto who shot this nice video last weekend. Hope you can get an idea of what the Beat Battle at the Rooms of Red Bull was like and how high both the quality of the beat makers and the energy level was. FS Green just gave me goosebumps when he played that dubstep joint man! Anyways…more footage very soon. Thanks ya’ll for coming out and next year we might even do it bigger, better and cooler. Check some reviews after the jump. Pics from ‘Ismail Pinto’ and Arenda de Hoop..
