Between 2008 and 2011 14KT made a bunch of beats. His “14KillaTape” is full of beat battle minded beats as well as other types of beats. He sets off the Killer Tape with the first joint he ever made in a beat battle mind state and the rest is history. Free download is available over at A-side Worldwide.

You might remember this young buck that came out of nowhere and blew away the crowd at the Beat Battle at the Rooms of Red Bull. Well 1st Angle is back with another, short but flavorful, 8-bit inspired beat called “Don’t Stop”. It dropped via Beat M Up so nuff respect for those cats! Hope to hear more music from you soon Alex…keep it up. Photo credits go to Ismail Pinto…1luv

It took ages, or so it seemed, but finally all the audio was gathered and we asked JayHats to mix everything down so it sounds just right. No crappy sound, although please keep in mind that the beats you heard live at the battle may sound a bit different from this compilation. If you truly want to relive the moment I suggest you play these beats in a residential area, preferably as loud as possible. For those who weren’t at the Beat Battle at the Rooms of Red Bull…ya’ll missed a CLASSIC! Either way we asked all contestants to donate one beat so we could put together this compilation album. We called it “The Afterthought” because we thought it necessary to look back on what the f*ck happened that night. Since we know a little extra is always welcome, we added some bonus beats from the number 1 (Hayzee), number 2 (StatikMusic) and number 3 (J’83). Get this FREE download by clicking HERE..
Many thanks to all the beat makers for their beats. Johanna from Apple Juice Break for doing the artwork and JayHats for being the coolest motherfucker out there! This whole event was brought to you by ‘A Moovmnt with Nalden’ so don’t forget to thank Mr. Nalden too. After the jump I put this ill picture Arenda de Hoop shot during the battle and you can find the tracklist in there too…hella nice!
