DeadBeats?
Well, DeadBeats is a group…No. “DeadBeats” is many kinds of groups. Some people refer to them as DeadBeats. They rather adopted the name as a post modern blend of new jack rhyme meter and a morbid disorderly fusion entailing progressive hip hop accompanied by the colder elements of the digital world of sound that magnifies poetry to its most existential binary as self proclaimed vocal percussionists.
DeadBeats are like the 70’s version of Terrance L. Jackson in the year 3147, you know? They are Avantguardians; they are progressive beat heads…. it’s like abstract poetry over horror-esque beats that bump with sultry ambiance…but hey kids, let's not forget the experimental curve.
Now, deriving from Salt Lake City, it comes to many as a surprise when they hear the nascent sounds of DeadBeats. The air is thinner here, so what you have is light hearted, light headed, nosebleed music with no room for interpretation. Hate them? or love them? regardless, DeadBeats will keep making albums into their wrinkled years.
DeadBeats have shared the stage with such acts as Swollen Members, Aceyalone, MURS & Scarub (of Living Legends), Jerneye, Crown City Rockers, Pep-Love, DJ Lex & Opio (of Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief), Sweatshop Union, P.O.S. & Mac Lethal (of Rhymesayers), Sims (of Doomtree), GURU (of Gangstarr), Zion I, Josh Martinez, YO! Majesty, Supernatural, Subtle (Lex Records) among various others.
