Beedie - The Beat Bully LP (street album): (June 30, 2011)

Beedie has been working to create a buzz in his own lane over the last few years and is now poised to be one of the next stars to rise out of Pittsburgh. The Beat Bully LP is Beedie’s first official street album. Featuring 12 tracks all original productions plus 4 bonus tracks, it has been in the works for over a year. The process of crafting the album involved instrumentation from Beedie himself on keys and other musicians on guitar and drums. This Hip-Hop masterpiece is eager to push down the boundaries of the usual formula and is only a glimpse into the musical mind of Beedie. Later this year Beedie and Jon Quest will be bringing you the Varsity Squad album.

Beedie was invited back up to Detroit on February 3rd to compete in an emcee competition sponsored by Trojan Magnum called the Bring It Back Tour as part of the “Trojan Live Large Project 2”. Only 12 emcees from the midwest area were invited to compete. Located at the world famous Shelter featured in the film 8 Mile, the judges included Royce Da 5’9”, Trick Trick, One Be Lo, DJ House Shoes, Opio (Heiroglyphics), and Guilty Simpson. Round 1 was to rap 16 bars accapella. Round 2 was to freestyle 16 bars over a random beat. Round 3 was to perform a song. Here are some stills of what went down over the evening. Shout to Chief.

Pittsburgh rapper Beedie has set the standards for Pittsburgh rap since stepping on the scene in 2007. The 24-year-old rapper, born Brian Green, has amassed a following of loyal fans through his music, which is reminiscent of classic New York hip-hop.

With parents who were actors and famous opera singer Mildred Miller as a grandmother, it was almost a given that Beedie would be interested in making a living doing something creative.

Since debuting, Beedie has released several projects, including the critically acclaimed “The Beat Bully" LP.

“What I've come to appreciate most about the album is Beedie's honesty. The album is entertaining, yet personal,” the Pittsburgh City Paper wrote in a review on “The Beat Bully.”

Born in New York City on January 19, 1988, Beedie moved around with his family until settling in Pittsburgh, his mother’s hometown. Before moving to Pittsburgh, Beedie was skilled in piano, guitar and bass and used these sounds to influence his music.

Officially debuting as a rapper alongside Mac Miller in the duo The Ill Spoken, Beedie, who is influenced by J Dilla, Jay-Z, Kanye West, sought ways to improve his music.

He studied tape after tape of hip-hop music and tried to learn as much as he could about cadence, delivery and lyricism. He was inspired by releases from The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem and specifically “Soundbombing 2", a compilation produced by record label Rawkus Records.

“I feel like I'll always be a student. I'm always learning new things and new ways to get better,” Beedie said of his learning process.

After The Ill Spoken, Beedie continued to release music as part of the East End Empire, a conglomerate of Pittsburgh rappers, before forming the duo Varsity Squad with rapper Jon Quest.

The music released by Varsity Squad helped them secure placement on JENESIS Magazine’s coveted music cover in 2010. The magazine also tapped Beedie a year later as one of five Pittsburgh rappers likely to succeed on a national level.

In 2012 Beedie will go on tour to promote his forthcoming project “Above the Weather.”
