Joey Dixon’s got talent as a beatmaker. I wish someone would coach him on mixing (vocals down, please!). And he really needs to learn how to rap better or just get better rappers on his tracks. But yeah, he’s got beats.
Truthfully, I might not have thrown this mixtape up. But I saw Dixon perform a few weeks ago at the North Park Music Thing. He was playing hype-man for female MC, Vision. At the end, she gave him space to perform a solo song, “Thank Me,” above. And he killed it just from sheer energy. You should’ve seen this guy jumping up and down, definitely the most excited body in the room. When the song came to a break full of nothing but crashing cymbals, he was hitting every single imaginary cymbal in the air in front of him. Some heads probably laughed but he didn’t seem to care. He was basking in the glory of hearing his beat on-stage. That’s a good performance. It’s actually a little embarrassing how rare, ummmm, enthusiasm seems to be in live hip-hop performances. Rappers might could learn something about that from Dixon.
Reading be fun though:
