Dear BEAT family,

We're writing to say thank you.

Thank you for being part of an important movement that’s furthering Hip Hop’s legacy by advocating for quality arts education for under-resourced youth and people with disabilities by supporting BEAT.

Over the past year alone, nearly 700 students experienced our beatboxing, breakin’, songwriting, and music production classes thanks to your crucial support. Despite a global pandemic, a tumultuous election, everything going virtual, months of widespread protests, and rampant unemployment, you have remained firm in insisting that arts education matters. You’ve shown our students that their voices and abilities matter to you, no matter what. That means the world to us and the communities we serve.

In the coming weeks, you’ll hear from members of our administrative team on the challenges and triumphs we have tackled this year. We hope these personal accounts energize you in deepening your commitment to our life-changing work in 2021.

Thank you again for an amazing year, and for empowering our young people to use their voice to advocate for hope and a better tomorrow through music.

Stay safe, and happy holidays!

James and the entire BEAT Team: Brittany, Christina, Lulu, and Luiggi

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...
