Real MuthaF***in' Muzak! That’s THE statement...The statement (pause and all) that meant exactly what two boys grinding up beats and rhymes wanted to say. “The Producer (Tone Beatz)” made beats that were musically in tune, very rarely sampled, and always super hot. His southern swagger was/is ever present in his work though his brilliant diversity gives his sound a unique and new feel that mesmerizes listeners and captivates them into his world. With a knack for finding that perfect blend of substance he stays trendsetting and complete. His production is from the heart inspired by life and living in reality which keeps it REAL. “The MC (100 Proof)” - a man with a lot to say and roots in hip hop. This half of the duo brought to the studio his hunger for wisdom. He put into his lyrics principles, priorities, and discipline from an urban perspective with the rawness and reality of his environment and self. He put forth effort to keep his music and ideas real, realizing that greatness is an everyday battle to stay true to ones own reality while pushing forward. The two meet thru a cousin of 100 and after one session together both were committed to the effort of being successful in the music industry, realizing the potential in each other and their natural chemistry, (thus the phrase “like Jordan and Pippen”) the team was set. The name of what started off as a two man team was easy to put together for the duo; Real (life & living) Muzak (beats & rhyme). In no time at all, their first project, the “100 Proof Mixtape” was born.Real Muzak was off to a slow start when they were approached by then CEO of the record company formerly known as LockDown Familia (L.D.F.), Beans, after hearing a copy of the mixtape. 100 Proof and Tone Beatz soon joined the L.D.F. as artist and producer under the direction of Beans and other Co-CEO’s of the former LockDown Familia. However, due to differences in vision, Beans quietly resigned from his position as CEO of L.D.F.While planning for the launch of his own label, Beans was approached by 100 Proof and Tone Beatz with an unrefusable offer to Co-Own and act as CEO of Real Muzak...Enter “The Coach (CEO Beans)” The playmaker for the dynamic duo (the “Phil Jackson to the “Jordan and Pippen” team). Every good team needs a good coach and coaching staff. Beans combines his knowledge of the music industry, and superb leadership skills with his street smarts, laid back and mysterious personality, and powerful presence to make him an irrefutable choice as the CEO of Real Muzak. Beans’ mission is to keep Real Muzak as Real as can be, music and business alike.DJ Joey Fingaz & Big Heff's "Real Muzak Vol. " Mix CD hosted by 100 Proof was released in May 2007 featuring music by Real Muzak, Inc., Young Buck, MIMS, Jim Jones, and more. 100 Proof's "Swagger" MixCD Hosted by Tone Beatz featuring music by 100 Proof, Heavy W8, G Short, Young Felon/Grind Related, and R&B Artist Lovely was released in October 2007 and is to be hosted on DatPiff.com.Artist 100 Proof is currently on a promotional campaign for the release of his first album, Thoroughbred.
