When talking about Hip-Hop or any of the countless genres it has influenced, it???s all about the beats. Even after a producer loops ???Amen Brother??? for the millionth time, it will always be about the beats. They???re the foundation of Hip-Hop, and the defining characteristic of any artist or genre claiming Hip-Hop as inspiration. And at FACE MELT, they???re the only thing that matters.
As if he???s already plotting to bring an MPC to his cousin???s quincea??era, Maker explains the underlying motivations of FACE MELT as ???a gathering of different styles, cultures, and scenes that are all related??? It???s like a family reunion but with hard ass drums.??? Simple enough concept but reading between the lines, you may want to consider ear plugs!
