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
INTERVIEW: DJ and Gimme That Beat founder J. Rizzle answers quick-fire questions on the best of 2015
Around this time last year The New Beatmaker called J. Rizzle 'one of the most hardworking men in the game, J. Rizzle is a writer, DJ and music, sneaker and cap connoisseur to boot! He is clearly a man who has learned the secret of how to not need sleep.'
Well...he still hasn't told me his secret!
His output CONTINUES to include the instrumental / beats focused blog Gimmie That Beat, the DJ-Centred Check Deez, and 'KIX & LIDZ', dedicated to his love of sneakers and caps. I don't know how he does it all.
Welcome back to J. Rizzle, here's what he had to say about last year:
Favourite software: 'Trend Micro Titanium.'
Favourite freeware: 'ClipConverter.cc.'
Favourite album: 'Scarface "Deeply Rooted."'
Favourite musician, producer or beatmaker: 'Apollo Brown.'
Favourite app, blog or website: 'OkayPlayer.'

Highlight: When the mix I did "Forty04" reached over 3000+ plays on Audiomack.
Low point: 'Burnt a perfectly good Supreme thin Crust pizza, when it was the last thing left in the freezer, lol.'
Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud.
