Posted by Nathan S. on 05/05/11 | Filed under Downloads, Bekay

Serious moments are few and far between in RefinedHype Nation, but if I can be allowed a moment of non-ironic, non-sarcastic legitimacy, let's all take a minute today to listen to this new Bekay record, "Remember". In honor of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), "Remember", finds Bekay telling a gripping story of a family torn apart during the Holocaust, and the legacy such horrors leave behind.

One Last Shot at 2010: Bekay’s Year in Review” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/05/11 | Filed under Downloads, Bekay

Since Skillz annual "Rap Up" lacked some of his traditional punch - even he's admitted that he's getting tired - so I thought I'd re-up and fire one last shot at 2010 with Brooklyn emcee and RefinedHype regular Bekay, who delivers his "2010 Year in Review" with an aggression and fearlessness we've come to expect from the man.

El Da Sensei, Sean Price & Bekay Live “Everyday in the Street” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/06/10 | Filed under Downloads, Sean Price, Bekay, El Da Sensei

Maybe it's this rainy weather (for the record, it rains like three times a year in L.A.) or maybe I just needed some testicular fortitude after yesterday's cryfest (Drake's "I Get Lonely Too"), but I'm in a bad mood this morning - so the second El Da Sensei's new single "Everyday in the Street" hit my headphones I was sold. Now this is some grown man rap. Listen and download...

Bekay & BLESTeNATION Are the “Realest That Run It (Remix)” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 03/25/10 | Filed under Downloads, Bekay, BLESTeNATION

After spending the last hour listening to P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" (don't judge me) I could use a track with some cojones, and luckily that sonic testicular fortitude has arrived in the form of Bekay's "The Realest That Run It (Remix)" featuring the three man rap/rock trio BLESTeNATION. First released on the "NXNE: The Southwest Invasion (Mixtape)", "The Realest (Remix) flips a Jay-Z line, mixes in some absolutely banging production from Contagious, and adds the high caliber rhyme skills of Bekay and BLEST emcees Werdplay and Various.

Production Breakdown: Bekay’s “I Am (NodFactor.com Remix)”

Posted by Richard on 02/13/10 | Filed under Features, Production Breakdown, Bekay

Let's talk about one of the highest-rated features over at DJBooth.net this week, a newly-released remix of underground emcee Bekay's single, “I Am.” Chosen as the winning instrumental in a contest held by NodFactor.com DJ Qvali's blend of sampled strings and authentic cuts (with a little help from DJ Revolutioun) was received by Booth readers as not only equal to, but arguably an improvement over heavyweight producer The Alchemist's original – and I tend to agree.

Last week the consummately controversial Bekay dropped off "Brooklyn Bridge Part II", one of the highlights off his upcoming "Hunger Pains Remix" album, and today he's back and still as hard as ever on his "Brain Tumors (Remix)". Here Bekay has brought along some lyrical assistance from M-Dot and newcomer Reef the Lost Cauze (Boston stand up!) to go in over the original's cinematic Reef Ali production and turntable cuts from DJ Grazzhoppa.

Bekay, the latest addition to Brooklyn's long history of intensely lyrical emcees, is building off the success of his last album "Hunger Pains" and coming back for seconds, dropping a series of remixes (more on that later) that begins with "Brooklyn Bridge (Part II)", a remix of the Babu-produced classic that brings together fellow Brooklynites Bekay, Sha Stimuli and Push! Montana (no relation to French Montana) for yet another dope ode to one of hip-hop's epicenters. Listen and download...

Bekay is Out for Blood on “Bloodsport” (Video and Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/11/09 | Filed under Videos, Bekay

Hip-hop has always been a contact sport, and no one in the game seems to know that better right now than Bekay. Fresh from the release of his new album "Hunger Pains", the Brooklyn emcee is back with the fight night video for his single "Bloodsport". It's no Jean Claude van Damme flick, but it's still pretty damn good. See more to watch and download...
