Hey Top Cat, just wanna let you know our NEW E.P. 'The Making' is out November 30th, samples of the Tracks are on our myspace or check out www.thebeatpoets.com
Newly fresh out-the-bag mixes to infest into your ear drums like the winds of the Peruvian desert in mid-August after you've just quit your job and the only thing in life you have left to care about is a crumbled bite-size ammount of a biscuit you couldn't eat from the Grande Ball Extrordinaire the other night. Your pits smell like death and piss because a cat sprayed on you and then you rolled over and killed a gopher when you slept in that park the other night after binge drinking at your daughters 11th birthday. You sick bastard.
