Seattle’s crawling with rappers these days and most of ’em are young. Hella. Like Uncle Hip-Hop gave them the keys to the car and now they’re out doing brodies in the parking lot. Thankfully, it’s all (mostly) good, and fun to see what these new jacks come with in their homemade studios and with their pirated production software. With the DIY-era seemingly approaching its zenith, the coming of age for young rappers is happening sooner and with even greater ease. The Myspace rappers are everywhere!
To call Antbeezy a “Myspace rapper” would, however, be incorrect. The average internet dude can’t rhyme his way out of a wet paper bag and Beezy, for all his youthful exuberance and amateur aesthetic, knows his way around a beat. He is, however, positively a member of the aforementioned do-it-yourself set. The 20-year old aspiring emcee takes beats and makes them his own, with his bedroom closet serving as a makeshift recording booth.
Now, Beezy is starting to get his hustle on. His first mixtape, Fly With Me, will be dropping soon. Below are two FREE downloads. Click on the photo below for his official homepage page, and here for his Twitter profile. His raps are fun, breezy, summer-riding type music that echo the mid to late 90’s lightheartedness of Cali-favorites Ahmad and The Pharcyde’s, Imani.
Download “Realer Than A Pickup Line” here.
Download “Rather Unique” here. (The fact that this 20-year old rapper chose to rhyme over an AZ track from 1995 says something about his appreciation for hip-hop, don’t you think?)
