2 latin men that are about to make the new foundation of Hip-Hop. A combination of Latin Flavor with some fresh Hip-Hop and R&B.
Why this name?
26:

We were looking for a name that completed our expectations with the feelin' that music raises in us. Something that could express the origin of our inspirations. As a matter of fact a "Beat" it's the reason why we bounce our head, we drop a line on it, we get inspired, we can change its tempo in order to change the feeling and the words that come out of our heads. It's simple, any phat beat that could exist, it can have a deep
factory inside of our world, inside of our minds, and would let us get to the next level of hip hop.

Homie:

All-Phat-Beatz its the expresion of our music...our combination ..our flow...our name in this culture...our badge. Why? Simply cause beatz are our heaven... and on them we commit the lyrical 187...and it definitly contents the style we carry...
Do you play live?
26 & Homie:

Yes we do. We love it, its like heaven, its like havin you own world. Parties, special events, at the beach, in the basement, in the attic, the kitchen, the livin room, the streets, parks, shelters, bridges, offices, bathrooms, restaurants...etc Special moments?......."The Roof: Uncensored" concert in Nicaragua 2003, "Dj Lazz featuring Pitbull" Concert in Nicaragua 2003, "Dj Epps World Tour 2004 -2005" Concert in San Juan del Sur 2005, Beatboxin all the time and while we doin' graffiti or simply runnin'
the streetz...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
26:

I would say it's a expansion pack to our world, we can share it in an easier way, we can modify it, we can use it everywhere, even in our telephones. As a matter of fact it has affected music, cuz its easier to get music, people do not buy cds, at least not like they used to. Some ppl do, but some people just go to a special website and click it and downloads it. Simple!!! It depend in what side are you. But in my personal opinion, in years to come, even the mp3 will have to be paid. Think about it!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Dependin on what does the record company offer...
Band History:
26:

We all started Freestyling and listenin to Hip Hop since we were pretty little, as the time past, we earn some experienced that as a matter of fact grows everyday, we don't stop, makin music it's the second step everyday.

We used to perform at school parties, playin covers.
We were involved with many people, managers, crews, b-boys, etc. A long way has been walked, and finally the survivors, me and Homie have decided to take music to the next level. Sometimes when you have a dream, you need to keep forward, and the biggest problem we face its that the country were we lived doesn't believe in the word goal, so you gotta work harder, as MJ said one day "Even though I can swim, ill swim at least enough to survive". So we had issues in the past, we lost some
friends, haters came along, but we're still facing up. Doors closed, NO's in the face, dust, sweat, everythin, but music it's the best reliefer and The sun its infront of us.

Homie:

Graffiti and rhymes its my past, present and future...no matter
what...but tru all this years its been kinda hard to find the right spot and the right crew...but it all depends on how real and true your skillz are and your devotion its. Ive been underground most of the time...but now we feel like we need to blow some speakers oficially and let everybody know that hip hop its still alive...i dont care...i dont care what it takes, i just wanna make real my music and everything else can wait or never come, its gonna be the same 4 me.
