Beat composer Mo Beatz releases new LP album 'Mo Better Beatz Than Blues'

The producer of hip hop instrumentals known as Mo Beatz has released his latest LP album, “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues.” The album contains 14 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 50 minutes. It has been proudly published on the Mo Better Beatz independent record label without the direction of the corporate music industry. A cutting edge hip hop record packed with instrumental grooves, “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” from Mo Beatz is a study in hip-hop music making.

Nigerian-born Mo Beatz cites as main artistic influences Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, Pete Rock, and J Dilla. His own sound on “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” borrows mostly from the hip hop producers of the late eighties and mid- nineties, but Beatz's sound is all his own. Primarily a work of minimalism and surgical precision, “Mo Better...” teaches that a clean beat with just a dash of melody should give any rapper more than enough to work with.

Mo Beatz originally released “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” in 2013 to widespread critical and fan acclaim. Now newly remixed and remastered, this clutch of beats never sounded more clear, more crisp, or more dialed-in to that sweet spot every rapper shoots for.

Mo Beatz started his career in hip hop in the 1990s. Disillusioned with his dependence on producers for beats and instrumentals, Beatz learned to work the boards himself.

“Shortly after this move, independent artists and up and coming rappers and singers began to take notice of his hip hop experimental sounds and quickly befriended him for beats,” says the artist's current official bio. “However, due to the lack of freedom, airplay, respect for the underground artists and their creativity, and the constant changes in the music industry, Mo Beatz decided to take a break from music and went on a little hiatus.”

It was during this period that Beatz discovered instrumental recordings by titans of the 808s and 909s like Jay Dilla and Madlib.

“Mo Beatz found gratitude in their art and began to feel the need to make music again,” his bio reads. “He began to change his approach from a producer to more of an instrumental artist.”

“I love making music,” says Mo Beatz. “It's a passion of mine. The money is secondary. The joy of making a song and having somebody else feel it is priceless. That's the validation.”

“Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” by Mo Beatz is available from over 600 quality digital music retailers online worldwide now. Get in early, beat fanatics.

Mo Beatz releases new capital single '5 Star General'

The DJ, composer and producer of instrumental hip hop known as Mo Beatz has released his latest flagship single, “5 Star General.” The track has been proudly published on the Mo Better Beatz independent music label without the influence or participation of the corporate music industry. Full of groove, packed with drum 'n' bass, and emotionally charged with the social injustices of the continuing struggle for true, civil rights in the United States, “5 Star General” by Mo Beatz is a hard-hitting hip-hop instrumental with a striking official video available soon for viewing worldwide.

Mo Beatz is the creator of such popular hip-hop releases as “Mo Better Beatz than Blues” and “Black Devils,” both of which have come to be seen as blueprint examples of how to make quality hip-hop and rap compositions in the modern music era. “5 Star General” takes Beatz's ingenuity up a notch from his shadowy chord progressions and urban-styled drum tracks to add an evocative visual component that has a strong social statement to make.

“'5 Star General' is a bass-thumping, orchestral-sounding instrumental single with an intense cinematic vibe,” writes Mo Beatz. “The title came about because the strings in the track sound so aggressive. It has a dramatic, warlike, movie-scene feel to it but with hard hip-hop drums on top.”

Concerning the video (available for public viewing online worldwide soon) Mo Beatz writes: “It's also because of [the song's dramatic power] that led to the idea to shoot an intense YouTube video inspired by Michael Jackson's 'Man in the Mirror,' with a message of 'Let's help heal the world and stop the violence.' The video was edited in New York City by a video director who goes by the name of Donald Robinson Cole and contains footage of mostly non-violent protests from around the world.”

“5 Star General” by Mo Beatz is the followup single to his “Black Devils” track which appeared in fall of 2014. Both are available for listening and download online worldwide. Also be sure to watch for the release of Beatz's official “5 Star General” music video on the World Wide Web soon.

Mo Beatz releases new single 'Black Devils'

The producer of hip hop known as Mo Beatz has released his latest single, “Black Devils.” The track is the followup official single to his 2013 LP record, “Mo Better Beatz than Blues.” Both have been proudly published on the Mo Better Beatz independent record label. Shadowy, crisp and bearing a razor-sharp edge, “Black Devils” by Mo Beatz is evidence that this Nigerian-born hip-hop artist is here to stay.

Mo Beatz cites as main artistic influences such titanic names as Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, John Lennon, Pete Rock, and J. Dilla. His own style on “Black Devils” takes cues from the early '90s hip-hop tracks, many of the best of which which used sparse, deep beats and minimalistic loops, often with eerie melody lines to create a subtly nightmarish ambiance. This atmosphere is thick in “Black Devils,” and Mo Beatz uses it expertly to provide a rolling groove that pulses like a beating heart and pours from stereo speakers like running water.

Producer Mo Beatz describes his latest track in no uncertain terms.

“'Black Devils,'” he writes, “is a dark and bass-heavy track that you can ride to in the car, and also hear bounce from wall to wall through the speakers as deejays blast it in the clubs.”

Mo Beatz cut his teeth in the hip-hop scene of the 1990s, but soon grew tired of working with other producers and began working in the studio himself. In not much time, his beats were in high demand for up-and-coming singers and rap artists. This, also, would come to an end.

“However,” his official artist's bio relates, “due to the lack of freedom, airplay, respect for the underground artists and their creativity, and the constant changes in the music industry, Mo Beatz decided to take a break from music and went on a little hiatus. During this time,he would listen to some of his favorite music and got inspired from instrumental albums by such artists as J. Dilla and Madlib.”

It was this deep appreciation he felt for these talented performers which sparked his renewed vigor as a musician in his own right. Nevertheless, his perspective had permanently altered. He would become an instrumental artist and composer, rather than merely a producer.

“I love making music,” he writes. “It's a passion of mine. The money is secondary, but the joy of making a song and having somebody else feel it is priceless. That's the validation.”

“Black Devils” by Mo Beatz is available online worldwide.

Mo Beatz releases new LP album 'Mo Better Beatz Than Blues'

The Nigerian-born producer known as Mo Beatz has released his latest full-length LP record, “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues,” to uniform, standing ovation. It has been released on the Mo Better Beatz music label. Comprised of 14 original instrumental tracks, it has an approximate playing time of 48 minutes, making it a comprehensive and profound exploration of Beatz' compositions. A work of rhythm, R 'n' B, hip hop, and a dash of soul, “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” is certain to enrapture music fans from New York City to Bangladesh.

The sound of “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” is groovy and mellow, with bass that spreads out, rather than stabs and pounds. His melodies are unlikely and creative, and no Beatz song sounds quite like anything else one is likely to have heard. This is evidently and obviously intentional.

Speaking of his artistic aims on this record, Mo Beatz writes, “I’m an instrumental artist so my album is more about providing an emotional 'n' sentimental vibe to listeners when they hear it. My music sounds melodic and experimental, different from the average hip-hop albums. So my message would be that you can be melodic and experimental and still make a great hip-hop album without sounding like everything else on the radio!”

This is a welcome attitude and philosophy in a genre filled with “I can do that, too” copycat artists. Of these, Beatz is far from one. He began his music career “by listening to my parents' old vinyl records and 80’s songs on the radio.” He names as main artistic influences Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Pete Rock, Jay Dilla, Madlib, and Rza.

“I love making music,” declares the eclectic urban anthem maker. “It’s a passion of mine. The money is secondary. The joy of making a song and having somebody else feel it is priceless. That’s the validation.”

The “Mo Better Beatz Than Blues” LP by Mo Beatz is available for everyone worldwide to feel it beginning July 2013.
