Beasts of the Beat

IF MY STRENGHTS ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND TOGETHER WE WILL WIN - Moneyball
About Beasts of the Beat:
"Raising boys to men through community, relationships and hip-hop. Beast of the Beat's members were not invited to be part of this group because of their skill level or achievements in school. It is not a group for the leaders in the school. It's not a group for the best behaved kids. It is not a group of the best rappers or drummers in the school. Each member was picked specifically for their character traits. Each personality in the group exists for another; to uplift, challenge, equip, encourage or develop another leader. The best leaders do not have the greatest statistics, score the most points, gain the most fame or make the most money. The greatest leaders will inspire those around them and make them greater. This is my hope for Beasts of the Beat. This is a rap group specifically designed. An artistic community carefully pieced together to cultivate a strong, dedicated, masculine spirit inside each person."  -- Joe Vercellino
