After winning the 2011 Miltown Beat Down, Reason didn’t just relax and play it cool. Nope! He put out a new project. Check out his “Champion Sound” that gives you a little taste of his catalog.

Another well attended evening of battles here in Milwaukee last night. The energy level was almost a 9 last night (on Jordan’s scale of 10), as some MTBD vets and rookies moved on the JUNE 10th finals at Turner Hall.
We again had some very close calls last night. One battle even came down to just 2 points. The vets came correct last night, but the new faces had some of the most exciting sounds we heard. The diversity of sound last night was one of my favorite parts of the battle. Heads were feeling some of the unexpected new styles that hit the stage last night. Here are the scores…
Reason [408] vs. MC Cullah [361]
Mixed Up [362] v.s Luxi[428].
Goodwill [423] vs. Mighty DR [168]
Hurrikayne [275] vs. Jooney Dubz [361]
There was a lot of energy in these first four bouts. It was nice to see some hardware in the house, as Mixed Up played his beats out on his ROLAND MV8000. (that big ass one the RZA uses.) Goodwill also surprised the crowd and the judges, while I kept my smart ass comments to myself when Hurrikayne and Jooney Dubz battled. (These fellas made me look like a 12-year-old up there. Big ass dudes with big beats.)
The evening finals were close… VERY CLOSE.
In the battle of LUXI vs. REASON, only 2 points came between Luxi and a trip to Turner Hall. Final score for that battle… Luxi [399] and REASON [401]. This puts the Reason and Luxi battle even closer than the ClassiCal and 40 MIL battle from last week.
Jooney Dubz and Goodwill also got down to the wire in their battle. After 3 beats, it was too close to call, and the KID CUT UP called upon the crowd to chant for a “beat off’. Each producer was given a 4th beat, and while Jooney Dubz played to cool, and selected his beat 2nd, Goodwill played the best beat we’d heard all night, and Jooney Dubz [366] lost to Goodwill [438], in over time.
Congratulations to GoodWill and Reason. These fellas will be at the June 10th finals with White Russian, Audio Pilot, 40 Mil and TradeMark.

Welcome to 2011.
We are in the works of planning the 2011 MILTOWN BEAT DOWN. As we prepare all the details, we want to take the beginning of this year to recap all the excitement we’ve seen in years past.
2010 was a landmark year for the battle. Our 2010 champ LEX LUTHOR was invited to participate in the 2010 RED BULL BIG TUNE BATTLE.
