Sometimes you don’t feel like DJing the party. Either you’re too drunk to mix tracks, or someone attractive is whispering dirty limericks in your ear, or some other elaborate shenanigans have otherwise rendered you musically impotent. It is during these desperate times that albums like The Beatard’s I’m the DJ drop in and save the party. From the effervescent “Get Lite” to the psycho-disco of “Neon Light” every track is a certifiable banger. MC UTK drops equally vicious raps and infectious melody, while Chuck Wild spits heavy slabs of concrete. The “Mixtape Riot” parties solidified their presence, and this first album will undoubtedly propel them into the megasphere. Put down the headphones and step away from the turntables – the Beatards are the DJ. – BrokeMC
