First Dirt went on their first European tour in November 2015. They scheduled, funded, and coordinated it completely independently. They built their relationships and got people to believe in their movement. Hip hop is no longer a genre of music where artists take pride in working hard to get their music to the fans. Not First Dirt.

These guys have been taking their music to the people since day one. They don;t wait for anyone. They have faith in their music and just want to opportunity to be heard. So even if you don’t like their music you have no choice but to respect their hustle. Lets keep that tradition alive and not let the convenience of modern technology cast a shadow on the ones that stay true to the artform.

Checkout a day in the life of First Dirt Producer LEKSBEAT.

From sharing the stage with his First Dirt brethren at Paid Dues 2013 with some legendary artist like Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne, Black Hippy, Scarface, and Souls of Mischief just to name a few, Leksbeat, First Dirt Producer and DJ, gives you an inside look of his process of flipping a sample using his weapon of choice, the Akai MPC 2500. For this instrumental, he took a classic Christmas sample, Santa baby by Eartha Kitt, and made a jolly Christmas song into a raw hip hop track.

Timothy Rhyme – “I Love My Life” ft. MicBarz, Noelle Chesnut

West coast emcee, Timothy Rhyme, is determined to inspire. As an indie artist, his life is no cake walk but he refuses to let anything control his perception. After fighting for his life, relocating to LA, going thru life’s ups and downs, and dealing with the music industry norms, this young star in the making has more than enough justification in looking at the glass as half empty. But he chooses to do the contrary.
Premiering on UndergroundHipHopBLOG.com Timothy Rhyme’s single, “I Love My Life”, is a song that empowers while it entertains. Teaming up with Atlanta-based lyricist MicBarz and Los Angeles singer extrordinaire Noelle Chesnut, this song is something special just in time for the holidays. Dedicated to those that need a boost, this song speaks to anyone in a slump looking for some motivation.

The Breeze first introduced business marketing and communications major Joey Atilano (60 East) last semes­ter as he campaigned for and later won a spot to perform at the independent hip-hop festival, Paid Dues.

“Since the last interview I have just been focused on making music, learning more about the music business and going to school,” 60 East said. “It’s getting real hard to balance work, school and music with new opportuni­ties approaching everyday. I’ve just been playing things by ear.”

In playing things by ear, 60 East has been keeping up on the show circuit, recently performing at the music and art celebration, End of Summer Festival.

“The End of Summer Festival was a great event,” 60 East said. “I actually heard about it last year randomly and decided to attend as a fan, not knowing anyone that was on the lineup or anyone throwing the event personally. The event was during my Paid Dues campaign which included attending independently thrown events and promoting our campaign. While I was promoting at the festival, I ended up meeting the founder of the event. He ended up follow­ing and supporting me during my campaign. After suc­cessfully getting on Paid Dues, he invited my team and I to perform at the 2nd annual EOSF.”

The Thursday following his EOSF performance, 60 East was announced as 2013’s Best Hip-Hop Artist, as chosen by voters on IE Weekly. Holding the title, he continues laying out his next plans for success.

“I am going to be releasing a mixtape in Oct. 2013 called ‘Mood Muzik Mixtape,’ which is the 2nd mixtape in a remix series I am working on. Following that, I will be releasing the music video to the single off my upcoming album ‘Motivation.’ After that, I will begin the promotion­al process for my upcoming album ‘10,000 Hours,’ which will hopefully be ready early next year. We (First Dirt) will be going on The Black Rosary Tour with artist Chino XL and another with artist Blu in the next few months.”
