The people at Vans have a crush on us
THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING OF MY LIFE
Seriously,
Since the first day I started skating I pretty much only wore Vans and SB- but when the Nike hype went to its max a couple of years ago I became obsessed with Vans. Still to this day the guys Vans are one of the few brands, like New Era, that will collaborate with anyone that is working hard on their own, plus that Marc Jacobs collaboration had me at Black Sheep on queue for hours.
I will always say Vans has the best canvas sneakers.
Vans Skateboarding > 'Taylor' anything...

Rain
It rained last week in Chapel Hill and everyone was depressed, Seriously- we saw empty Zoloft bottles in the dumpsters. Such sadness around us inspired a melancholy song we call "Rain" because we are so uber-creative.

Jeet and Friends make a pornographic film
Not really, but like 90% of this is NSFW, the other 10% is awesome hip hop videos during a party I was working too hard to go to...some guys have all the fun...
While we are on videos, go to New Vintage!

Peter Bjorn and John x Busta Rhymes x The OfF Beats - Please Go
Busta Rhymes, Q tip, and Peter Bjorn are my favorite musicians of all time. This was an honor.

Follow us on Twitter
There's no 'official' Off Beats twitter, mainly because any collective that has one twitter is more often than not really lame - plus we'd rather not deal with spam concentrated into one place.
So, here is Mark's twitter in all its The Off Beats Movement styling.

Look! A movie + OST
Umm so other groups may put out singles with B Sides, but we'd rather make a sick short film and then give you guys the tracks because we really love you guys.
But not like the weird kind of deadly love that we see in this movie.
Please watch in HD.
We've submitted this film to two short film fests and have been screened at both! Lets hope we get more good news from these festivals saying we won.
OST
First song -
Mark Sabb - Another Funeral Theme by The OfF Beats
End Credits -

Why this guy needs to be heard
Some of us have to study music theory books and listen to countless hours of Dilla, Q Tip, Madlib, DJ Scratch, Babu, Illmind, 9th Wonder, and Khrysis to learn how to put together hot tracks. Others are just born with it. Kyle belongs to the latter. Here is an OLD video to prove it.
Now he has made one of my favorite songs of the last five years.
Lion King - Kyle Royster by The OfF Beats
We don't even know the name of these songs - mostly because Kyle doesn't name them as he is an asshole.
In middle school his Aim s/n was Kyleplayspianobetterthanmark
I grew up with this guy. He trains Pit Bulls to fight against Peta activists fighting Pit Bull fighting.
He also happens to be one of the freshest talents on the Electronic scene.

For Zach
We made this track for one of our favorite rappers to the point that we just named it "For Zach." As soon as we getter a better quality we'll throw that up, but until that time you guys get more samples, kicks, guitars, snares, and N.W.A. hihat rolls.

Nobody Listens to Jazz Anymore
The best reactions always come when we rock over a Jazz song.

If you know us...
You know we are all really nice, chivalrous men that will pull out your chair if you pay for our dinner.
And we'll make songs inspired by you, but won't put your name on them so when you tell your friends about it after we leave you they'll think you're lying!
Such a pretty song
A Lovely Afternoon by The OfF Beats
Luis killed the guitar on that btw.
Fresh Out The Oven
I hate when producers/musicians say stuff like that, you are a beatmaker, not a Baker Ace of Cakes.
