Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page
NEWS: The much loved BeatTips Manual is now available as digital download
The BeatTips Manual has been long regarded as the beat making Bible by many in the hip hop and beat making community. Written by accomplished beat maker, MC and beattips.com founder Amir 'Sa'id' Said, the 400 page book covers five categories in great detail: history, instruction, music theory, business and interviews with hip hop legends including DJ Premier, DJ Toomp, Buckwild, 9th Wonder and Marly Marl.
With this digital release The BeatTips Manual is set to further solidify its position as the go-to book on beat making, both as an instructional resource and as a cultural document for the beat making rookie and veteran producer alike.

The BeatTips Manual earns its stripes as a legitimate textbook, accessible to students at college and students of the game alike. (hiphopisread.com)I'm a big fan of beattips.com and I highly recommend anyone who hasn't checked out his site - or is in doubt as to whether or not to cop the digital download - to see for yourself just how informative and well written Sa'id's work is. Alternatively, checkout this review by another The New Beat Maker favourite, saintjoe.
