www.OnlyGoodGuide.com — Basics For The Amateur Beat Maker Beat making is about passion. If you don’t have the determination and love for the profession then you will struggle to make anything significant. In most cases beat makers teach others to be beat makers. You will definitely need a good role model who is an established beat maker in your area.

Dante Ross features a guest from none other than producer/crate digger J-Zone who lists his Top 10 Adventures in Diggin’.

When a man is into digging for records, he puts his health (and life) on the line. I haven’t known anybody to die in the line of duty, but some of us have knocked a few years off of our lives by inhaling mold and funny looking dusts that can’t possibly be OSHA approved.
