Beanz and Kornbread sounds really good right about now. And much like a plate of the Southern favorite side dishes, theres pretty much never a moment when this duo of talented producers/musicians ever dont sound as good as anything youll hear. They possess a sound that is influenced by a bizarre and amazingly varied group of artists, from the late genius J Dilla to the legendary DJ Quik to jazz great Herbie Hancock to rock band Pink Floyd, without ever forgetting their roots.The word multi-talented does not begin to describe Beanz, a musician's musician who happens to be a classically-trained percussionist, and a self taught multi-instrumentalist who also has a capability to use all of these talents to produce wildly different, yet unchangingly brilliant music, in many genres. Kornbread is the other half of the duo, not only does he bring flair and passion to the music but this self taught musician brings a knowledge of styles in music from his life by living in such cities as Los Angeles, St. Louis and Houston, but his avid fandom of not just creating but music itself. Together, it is almost unfair that this much skill be within one group, yet work so well together.In the tradition of past great production duo's, Beanz and Kornbread are a pairing of two life-long students of music using their unique skills to produce a sound as fresh as a plate of soul food. - Jacob Mustafa
