Beat Boxing is the under-appreciated Fifth Element in the Hip-Hop movement. Let there be no doubts about it! "Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. "—Wikipedia. Org
Long before (and after) the tired beat machines that used to crank out mechanical, predigested, synthetic, "soulless" percussive rhythms…there was the singular and quintessential breathless "Human Beat Boxer."
The "Human Beat Boxer" stood before and alongside the MC in the center of the Cypher and mesmerized the faithful with his or her blended virtuoso street performance. Within the magical toolbox of the Beat Boxer are an array of unique & personalized mixed bag of clicks, drum sounds, scratches, bass lines beats, trumpets, cymbals, guitar riffs, screams and other indescribable noizes..
The audiences' soulful "head-nod" is the first affirmation of the "death-of-silence" which is always the first casualty, whenever "Tha Show" is in effect.
Combining these dynamic throat-based effects is to create a "wall of sound" that pays a distinct & living homage to the sacred "Boom-Bap", which is the literal heart & soul, and underbelly of ole' school Hip-Hop. Ask any true-skool head about that!
The joy of the Human Beat Boxer is to compose a flawless soundscape "the music" with which he and the MC together rock the set, creating the perfect circle.
