BEAU Knows Rap

Is there anything BEAU cannot do?  I’m starting to think the answer is no.  The latest discipline that BEAU is conquering is music!  Political rap lyrics over hip hop beats, a new genre called Politca-Hop is born.  You can check out BEAU’s latest single “Another King’s Clothes” below and for a limited time you can download it for free.  Don’t sleep on this one.  Your life may depend on it!  You can follow BEAU’s music career at BEAUnyc on Soundcloud.  Enjoy!

Rocker Brad Oberhofer has released a new EP.  On his Facebook page, he left a message for fans that simply said:

“Had a crazy night last night. First slumber party record. More in the future. All songs written, recorded, mixed from 12:47-8:53 this morning. Probably the most personal thing i’ve ever shared with more than one person at a time.”  The EP was recorded on March 6, 2013 and is available for a “pay what you want” price on his Bandcamp page.

The EP is called “CANNIBALISM, FREUD, NIGHT OF 3​.​15​.​13​/​MORNING OF 3​.​16​.​13″ (editors note: as of press time, 3/15 and 3/16 have not happened yet, so we assume he means 3/5 and 3/6)

The track list is:

1. Scared, Alone

2. Clouds, Fountains

3. No One Nothing

4. Winter Has Come and Gone Again

5. Your Blood Will Always Flow
