Beat Cypher 06 - DONE!

*PHOTO'S BY MAZZIE!!

So we made it out the other side!!, Beat Cypher 06 went off with a bang as we played host to amazing beats from FS Green, Sir OJ, Shears and Urban Monk. Its dope that each one gets taken to another level in some way and this one was no exception with some real heavyweight producers we played host to not just 1 international guest but 5!! as FS, OJ also had DJ/Producer Full Crate (who shared the wheels with CRO that night), ill producer Hayzee and their photographer Patrick.

Not only this but we were also blessed enough to have Dreaddy Beats (a Birmingham native at that too) roll through to judge the beat battle and let us hear some exclusive blaps straight out the macbook!

As usual we had the PA's do their thing which came from Taharka, and Chima Anya and Serocee in the second half, as with all these joints theres a lot of analyzing and runnings to break down so hopefully next time we'll keep taking things to the next level.

So YEAH, thanks for coming out and reaching people....beat heads in the Birmingham and surrounding area need to keep supporting us and (some how lol) we'll keep on bringing you these sick producers and their amazing talents (heads travelled from all over the UK, London, Scotland, Stoke On Trent, Peterborough) so THANK YOU for making it down for supporting Louis Den..

Thanks to FS Green, Sir OJ and Full Crate for providing the beats/sounds on the night..Amazing work, safe roads!! I hope you guys enjoyed Birmingham!!.

Thanks to SHEARS for ripping up the beat cypher and only adding to the dopeness on display and props to URBAN MONK for coming through and participating...(props to the two of them especially for holding out while we could sort you guys in the lineup!!..Den heads/Beat Cypher family..WE GOT YOU...just be patient!).

BIG PROPS AND RESPECT to Dready who made time to come to the Beat Cypher, judge the beat battle and hit off all us hungry blapfiends with some exclusives..(and I mean exclusives...we got sneak peaks into some amazing material), somone messing with those sort of calibre artists blessing an underground beat jam with heads of all sorts of abilities says a lot!!...PROPS!.
