Dj Nik Bean

2008 Official Press Release
Renowned Los Angeles-based DJ Nik Bean has announced plans today to release a new mixtape project every week during the months of January, February, and March. This is exciting news for fans of California hip-hop, who have quickly come to recognize Nik's mixtapes as a street-savvy source of quality music. While Nik has created compilations for West Coast legends like Ice Cube, Tha Dogg Pound, and Jayo Felony, he is most well-known for his ability to highlight the best in new artists, as evidenced by his projects with emerging superstars Hot Dollar and Glasses Malone.
Nik, known in the streets as "The Mixtape Hustler," will be on the grind more than ever with this three-month long mixtape extravaganza. A highlight from the set is "Streetz Of L.A. Volume 4," the latest installment in Nik's highly successful West Coast mixtape series. For this fourth edition, Nik has teamed up with L.A. radio heavyweight Felli Fel and Atlanta's mixtape champion DJ Drama to create what will assuredly be one of the biggest mixtape releases of the year. The involvement from Drama and Felli Fel, the latter of which recently signed with Atlanta-based So So Def Records, will combine with Nik's California-bred mentality to make the project a cross-country success in more ways than one.
Nik and Felli Fel have teamed up to release four other projects together during this blitz. A Valentine's Day release with lyrical firestarter Crooked I entitled "The St. Valentine's Day Bossacre" will hit the streets as a surprise gift. The project will feature a variety of new and previously unreleased material. Mixtapes with G-Unit's Spider Loc, renowned writer Problem, and Aftermath-signee Stat Quo will also come from the newly formed powerhouse team. DJ Felli Fel's debut project "Go DJ" is set for an early 2008 release. A video for the nationwide hit single from the album, "Get Buck In Here," will be released next week. You can purchase "Get Buck In Here" from iTunes by clicking HERE!
Nik has many more projects to put out. Solo mixtapes include "Sonically Correct" with Watts star Bangloose, Sillk Calone's "By Way Of South Central," and releases from Roscoe Umali and Yung Berg. Nik has also teamed up with Atlanta's DJ Scream and "The Butcher" DJ Vlad for a mixtape with 2Five titled "Talk Is Cheap, I Plead The 5th." The Bay Area will be excited when Nik drops Balance's "Unsigned Legend" alongside the highly-respected DJ Rah2K as well.
With over ten mixtapes ready for release, Nik is giving the public many more reasons to call him "L.A.'s Mixtape King." However, it won't be long before the "Mixtape Hustler" steps into the retail album world. Nik has officially started to record material for his full-length debut album, tentatively titled "The Hustler's Manual." The project will feature an all-star lineup of West Coast acts and some very special surprise guests from other regions as well. Fans can be on the look out for the album in stores later this year.
Nik is also starting "Streetz Of L.A. Radio," his weekly radio offering. The first episode will air on Sirius Satellite Radio's Shade 45 channel in the beginning of February. In addition to all of these music projects, Nik is also putting together a new quarterly DVD magazine that will be released in February. "Street Certified" promises to give viewers a look at the inner-workings of the hip-hop world. Artists like Crooked I, Rick Ross, Mistah F.A.B., and Glasses Malone have already contributed to the first issue, which will arrive in stores next month.
DJ Nik Bean is starting 2008 off with a loud bang on the West Coast that will be heard across the nation. The three-month long mixtape blitz will simply solidify his spot as one of the hardest-working, and most prominent, mixtape DJs in the game.
