What is REALLY good??? We are happy to announce the release of our brand new single "Don't Step On My Sneakers" b/w "Get Lite"! These two tracks are the lead off for our yet unnamed album that is going to drop in early 2010! "Sneakers" is the ode to the Everyman's obsession, FRESH KICKS! And keeping them fresh! Everyone has been in that situation where you just cop some krispies but some jerk off scuffs em up before you even get to rock em out. And they don't even say excuse me! Now before this turns into a situation where "Keepin It Real Goes Wrong". We urge you to listen to the Bside and "Get Lite". Our song about rising above the bulls**t and haters and freeing yourself from the quicksand we call life. Click the link below to get the whole shebang. Full cuts, instrumentals, and acapellas. All you producers, what up??? Remix our sh*t and show us what you got! So click the link below to get the latest single from The Beatards!

Anyone remember the rapper Royal Flush? He had a couple dope tracks his biggest prolly being "Worldwide" but my favorite was "Moving on Your Weak Production".
Anyhow, this has nothing to do with him but everything to do with The Royal Flush Film Festival going on this week! Our friends James and Jim are throwing this thing and we are playing the opening party @ HIRO Ballroom tonight! We go on with our homie Miz Metro around midnight so come early for the 2-4-1 drinks and check out the show at one of our favorite places to play in the City!

Did I mention that it's FREE?!?!?!?!

We finally got this ILL video from VIMBY from our highly excellent Mixtape Riot! LA party that happened back in July. Check us out rockin with Mixmaster Mike, Mayer Hawthorne, and Nola Darling! That show was mad fun I wanna do it again.

AND we have two new interviews up and out there in the world. Read them both and get that much closer to understanding the disastrous natural events that lead to the creation of our crew.

If you don't see us update this site on the regular, it's definitely not due to lack of activity. Prolly just the opposite, WE DOING TOO MUCH! But it's all good cuz we're having good times doing it. Come out and join us at one of our parties this week!

I realize it's late notice, but this should be a fun ass show today. Specially seeing how nice it is outside right now. Get your Ginsberg on and see us in Tompkins Square Park!

I've been in Brooklyn for a good long while now. I was in BK when the towers fell and I remember walking over the Williamburg Bridge to Manhattan looking for friends. I remember when you could still party at raves in Dumbo. I remember walking up Flatbush Ave. for my first time ever at age 16, finally coming up on Grand Army Plaza and being amazed that it wasn't one of the classic locations that people know NYC by. I've been in Brooklyn enough years to say that I've lived here longer than any other town in my life, which is long enough to experience one of the most infamous and archetypal of all Brooklyn scenarios- getting jacked. Don't let the plague of condos or the ever expanding presence of "East-East-Village" fool you, it's still a gritty place. This song, which I made entirely in one hyper afternoon (beat, lyrics, recording, mix, finito), is about that very real part of my home that I love. Appropriately enough, the laptop and hard drive I used to make the beat were also stolen at a later point, so I can never go back and tweak what I did on that day!

SO many of my friends here can relate 100% to this track, and maybe that's why it's been going over really well at our live shows. That's also probably why I was able to get these dope up-n-coming producers to make extremely ILL remixes just out of the love. I know for a fact that Dypso from Murdertronics has been jacked here at least 3 times, not sure about Morsy, but dude can relate. Even after being jumped by 6 hoodlums, it's best if you can laugh about it afterward, or even better, make something creative out of it. I've been waiting too long already to drop this one officially, so now without further ado, I present a true Brooklyn party starter...
