142 emcees have stepped inside the DJBooth to spit an exclusive freestyle for their ongoing series, but almost no one has done so as creatively as DMV representer and RefinedHype favorite K-Beta on his trippy “Paperbag Writer”. On a production tip, Beta takes the Radiohead track of the same name and flips it into a vocally chopped but always smooth hip-hop joint, dropping references from everything to pandas to snitches. It take a brave man to go over some Thom Yorke, and apparently Beta, like Bonecrusher, ain’t never scared. Listen and download…

Having already dropped the joyful “I’m Grateful” and the darkly twisted “I’m Bleeding”, DMV representer K-Beta is now delving itn the world of relationships with his new single “Come Closer”, an examination of a love affair gone wrong featuring bright vocals from Mina, soul-drenched production from frequent production partner E-Minah and, of course, gripping lyrics from Beta. As if we need more proof of his versatility. Listen and download…

Having apparently recovered from opening up his arteries, DMV representer K-Beta is back with a brand new single “Black Business”, a crushingly dope track produced by Overok, who embeds the track with haunting vocal samples and back-breaking percussion, an intensely sonic backdrop for Beta to spit his always quality lyrics over. Don’t sleep, this is that real hip-hop. Listen and download…
