Hey all, got a track here from Solitary called "Its True". Make sure you grab this one, it is packing some serious heat.

Solitary - Its True

End of 2010

Hey all, so what a fucking crazy year we have had. I won't make you all read my rant about what I did so I'll get to the point. I have gone through everything I could find and picked out some small awards, as I don't have any money (nobody can seem to find that donate button) I haven't got any prizes for anybody. The best I can do is let you stare at this half naked dude statue so here goes.

 

Perth Underground Awards 2010

Top Album: Chekid & Corext - Champion Music

 This was a solid release that stood out with excellent promotion, a great launch and quality tunes (Dialekt came close with his album Illest Never Heard).

Champion Music on Triple J Unearthed

Top Mixtape: DT - Contagious Mixtape

This tape was absolute fire. It was hosted by DJ Symphony and was full of sick rhymes over some non hip hop beats. There were a couple of others that came close (A.Ford, JaeLan, Complete and Knoe FM) but Contagious stood out the most.

Check out DT

Top Artist: Dialekt

Dialekt was probably the most underrated and best performing Perth hip hop artist of this year. Not only did he release a free album "Illest Never Heard" he went over to LA and proved that Perth had what it takes to stand out in the world Hip Hop scene. Dialekt has collaborated with a few local artists this year and everybody that he has featured for would agree that he is easily one of the best.

Check out Dialekt

People's Champ: Rico (Green Gross Productions)

I think if anybody in the Hip Hop community of Perth gets forgotten about it is Rico. Rico has been putting on Mixtape Tuesdays (Dopest event in Perth Hip Hop) at The Newport every month and hosting all of the battles in Perth. He is easy to get in touch with and will always give somebody a shot. If you see him out buy him a beer coz I said so!

Green Gross Productions

 Top Beat Maker: Ta-Ku

Enough said, I think the Beat Down 3 is all people need to see this. I'd say someone else will take this prize next year though, some damn fire beats in Perth these days.

Beats from Ta-Ku

Top Track: SHROOMZone - More More More

I don't know about you but I nearly came in my pants when I heard this joint. Can't wait for an album to come out.

If you guys can think of any more awards for next year feel free to send them through. I only based my awards on things that were posted here on Perth Underground so if you feel like you should have got the award you should have sent me stuff to put up here. BTW none of these should really be taken that seriously as I hold basically no clout when it comes to the Australian Music Industry.

Cheers,

DekStah - I've Told My Self

Hey all, got a new track here from DekStah. Been pretty quiet leading up to new years but I promise we have heaps more coming early next year.

Hey all, for those of you that missed it Xplosion happened on Saturday night. It was an awesome show with a moderate crowd.

For those of you that missed out there are still plenty of Perth Underground Tees available so hit me up and I can get them out to you. We will be doing Xplosion again sometime so stay tuned so you don't miss out.

Big Tybes Beats

Hey all, sorry about the lack of updates but been a bit busy. Producer Appreciation Month has officially finished but I didn't get the last interview up in time. Anyhow last but not least we have an interview with Big Tybes Beats.

Big Tybes Beats Interview

 

When did you start and what got you into making beats?

I got into beat production when i found out it was to source beats, in 2004 i started taking it seriously.

What are your musical influences and how do they effect your style?

I used to be a metal head so my influences are wide and varied, this effects my style, i always try to bring that rock performance to our show.

If you could choose 10 rappers to produce for who would they be?

FUCK, in no particular order Dialetrix, Trem, Purpose, Eso, Seth Sentry, The Tounge, Maundz, Mr Trials, Professor Green (5 years ago) & Suffa.

What projects have you worked on so far?

My crew BYP have had two releases since 2008 both with me soley on production

Money well spent
Cause for concern.

What projects are you working on in future?

We are in the final stages of mixing our next release 'Never got paid', we have developed our sound with our recent addition of the legendary HYKUS. It will be dropping late 10 or early 11, we even have a surpise feature 'hush hush'.

Who do you think is holding it down for Perth right now?

There is a lot of buzz in the scene around heaps of up and comers which is always a good
sign we are developing and continuing to grow. But the usual dudes are still holding shit down this
side of the map... you know who they are.

What gear are you using to make beats?

I use Cubase and Fl Studio both for different reasons, i argue with many producers about this feature and
that feature but i feel its up to you how you wanna produce shit. Plus i have the luxury of having 2 studio
mixing lords in my crew to fix any imperfections the programs i use may show.

What are the top 5 beats ever made to you?

The Reason -Sesta
Move in silence -Bonez
The Take over - Chasm
Nutcase -Jase
The Sentinal -Suffa

Where can we hear some of your work?

I did a remix of Shroomz more more more, but apart from that stay tuned at http://www.myspace.com/byardproductions for NEVER GOT PAID.
