All beats posted are for sale! Considering the time, effort, and money I have invested in my music, I feel my beats are definitely worth the price. So invest in your own talent!
Quality aka John Bartholomew is a dedicated producer/beatmaker with a love for hip hop and music as a whole. Growing up, surprisingly he never really had an interest for music. But as soon as he became hooked on music, he learned what music is truly all about. About a year later, Quality started making beats. While influenced by dope artists like Jazzy Jeff, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and A Tribe Called Quest among many others, Quality is always striving to elevate his music and knowledge for it. Hip Hop is a huge part of his life, both listening to it and creating it. Quality is currently working on his first album with his emcee/cousin, Remix, collaborating on tracks with a growing number of real emcees for a solo producers album, and learning the lyrical side of things along with djing. He plans on going to Full Sail University to get a degree in recording arts in hope of becoming an engineer......... Thanks for checking out my page. Just another dude that loves chillin and kickin it with friends. I'm a hip hop head, and a fan of this art form for real. Really gotta give all the props to God though, who inspires me like no other. Always looking to connect with real artists, emcees get at me for beats. Peace!

Hey man. I checked out about half of all your beats. They're pretty impressive. I'm gonna focus on the MC2B project, becuz if I listen to anymore of your beats or peep them more than once, I think I'll be in trouble. Really looking foward to collabin' now.
thanks man we really appreciate the love. We are just trying to preserve the essence of real hip hop in everything we do. It's nice to get recognized for it. we are grateful man. stay up.
