9 out of 10 times when reconnecting with Self Suffice over the phone or in person or having a chat with his mom who is my mom I somehow wonder how is it I actually know this brother. How is it that I actually get to experience life on this planet with him and his blessed family. This man is a true legend in my eyes. The first time I ever decided to rhyme on a street corner in my neighborhood of the lower east side it was through his guidance and appreciation for who I was and what I had to say. I joined Self Suffice’s hip hop group called “Underrated” long ago in the early nineties hence my adaptation of the word Undercover for my alias Undakova. I was the secret ingredient and Self Suffice was the overall special sauce.


Anyhow enough about my relationship to Suffice. I wanted to hopefully be the introduction or reconnection to your relationship with him. From rhyming on a corner to a beat box to building in a personal conversation and practically getting school’d about hip hop at one of his workshops this Urban Busk Video indeed captures a valuable part of who this man truly is for hip hop and the global community. Check it out.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
