![VS Mini @ Riot Room [Recap]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lou-rip-at-vs-1024x599.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
As usual, the VS battle on Saturday night prompted a lot of "ooohs" and "aaahs". DRplus2, Barbaric Merits, Info Gates and Ghost competed in a beat battle royal with Ghost playing drums over his own pre-recorded tracks. Barbaric Merits left with the prize, while former Demencha...
10. Young Fate - "All Gass" [prod. Mr. Fresh] Ladies and gentlemen, hit play and start your engines. This video player popped up in February and sees Fate spitting game over a real heat-rock from Mr. Fresh. While Young Fate verses are on my brain, his 16 on Ron Ron’s...

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...
![D/L: Leonard DStroy’s “ADHD” Album [out today on Elm & Oak Records]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/lenny-d-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
As we mentioned over the weekend, KC-beat guru, Leonard DStroy, has a new album coming out soon. Soon is today. The Elm & Oak label is calling this a "collage album", featuring over 50 beats in just nine tracks. The name behind the album seems rather simple now. We've always...

"Attention Deficit High Definition" (ADHD), the long-awaited beat album from Kansas City sound-shaper, Leonard DStroy, drops on Tuesday, December 27th. Elm & Oak decided it would be only right to throw out a leaked single from the project which sounds like a rather...
I have to clear the air and note that it's quite rare that we jack content from other official sites, much less podcasts specific to other sites, but this new hour long mix from the one man, London-based bass tastemaker, Om Unit, is something else. XLR8R has been doing an...

BEAR CLUB x KJHK SADLY PRESENTS: BLASIAN FINALE: WE GONE, DUECES EDITION from Team Bearclub on Vimeo. Morri$ and the Team Bear Club crew have been making a lot of noise out in Lawrence for a hot minute now. One of those noises manifested itself in the regular Blasian...
With this being the second official release from Newman and Quest (CLICK HERE for the duo's debut from last year), the KC-based MC and the Lawrence-based DJ/producer have come together once again to release Skinny Jeans For Fat People today. Our favorite cut off their new...
![VIDEO: i-R Neko – “The Prognosis” [prod. B.B.P.]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/i-r-Neko-pic-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
We first came to familiarity with i-R Neko after hearing his With Love From KC mixtape a couple of months ago that included a track with Gee Watts and himself rapping on Tupac's "Temptations" beat. That prompted me to look into Gee Watts quite a bit more. But with this...
Platinum recording r&b singer, Joe, recently had what we hope is another smooth hit dropped in his lap by Kansas City-native and gifted crooner/writer/producer in his own right, Anthony Saunders. Specifically, we're really looking forward to another Michael Jackson...
