When it all boils down to it, it’s really all about the music. If the music isn’t good, then what’s the point, right? There have been so many bullshit attempts at reshaping the culture lately, that people seem to have forgotten that this is still all about hiphop.

This brings us to something we here at BFS are extremely excited to present to you: The 1st Annual Built from Skratch Producer Battle! What we did was take 2 of the nicest producers in the Bay Area and give them a song to sample from and make a beat out of. The freshest beat wins. Simple as that. The producers we chose for this were Keelay from the Sole Vibe crew (produced tracks for the likes of Little Brother, Blu, Tha Alkaholiks, Planet Asia, etc.) and Nick Andre, DJ/Producer and Co-Founder of Bay Area record label Slept On Records (produced tracks for Gift of Gab, Foreign Legion, Lyrics Born, etc.) Two dope beats were made, but only 1 producer can move on and stake claim to the title of Built from Skratch’s Production King!

Next up we have one of the best, most gifted DJ’s on the planet, DJ Scene. Hailing from Seattle, and now residing in Las Vegas, Scene started with a backpack and has graduated to crack rap! NO DAYS OFF! Scene went from being one of the NW’s top turntablists to one of the top DJ’s in the world. Our dude is one of the hardest working DJ’s on the planet! For over 12 years DJ Scene has moved thousands of crowds with his progressive style. His trademark technique of scratching and mixing 80s, Classic Rock and Old School with current Hip Hop and Rock, sets fresh standards in every venue he performs.

Finally we have one of the freshest urban couture shops around San Jose’s Connoisseur533.
