PEACE AND BLESSINGS


MY NAME IS HAKIM BEY AKA E21 MR.BOOMBAP. I HAVE BEEN MAKING UNDERGROUND HIPHOP BEATS FOR  15YRS+. I D.I.T.C. LONG AND HARD FOR RARE SAMPLES TO CHOP UP AND FLIP, ITS AN ART FORM THAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND. MY INFLUENCES START WITH  MY OLDER BROTHER RAYMOND BEY  ON THE TURNTABLES IN THE EARLY '80S, AS A KID ABOUT 7/8 YRS OLD. WHEN HE WASN'T HOME OR WHEN HE WAS ASLEEP I WOULD PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE TURNTABLE AND TURN THE RECORD WITH MY FINGER AND PUT  MY EAR TO THE RECORD SO I COULD HEAR THE SOUND AND TRY TO FIND HIS SCRATCH POINTS. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WENT THRUOGH A LOT OF NEEDLES. OTHER INFLUENCES COME FROM LEGENDARY PRODUCERS AND DJS  LIKE JAZZY JEFF, KID CAPRI, DJ DRAMADIK, NOTTZ RAW, MARCO POLO, MARLEY MARL, HANK SHOCKLEY, RICK RUBIN, ERIC SERMON, PREEMO, PETEROCK, D.R PERIOD, 9TH WONDER, J DILLA, NEEDLEZ, JUST BLAZE, EASY MOE BEE AND MORE. AND PERSONAL FRIENDS LIKE KY COOPER JONNY P DOMBEATS OPUS MONK ADVANT BLUU SUN ONE(EMCEE AND PRODUCER) AND MANY MORE.
