Styles of Beyond - Razor Tag presented by Green Lantern

Hard / Hard & It's Us are schweet. I'm not a fan of Fort Minor, but this is a good album.

Styles of Beyond is an underground rap group from Los Angeles, California, more specifically the San Fernando Valley. The group consists of MCs Ryan Patrick Maginn (Ryu) and Takbir Bashir (Tak), Colton Raisin Fisher (DJ Cheapshot), and producer Vin Skully (Jason). They have released two LPs and were heavily featured on Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor release, The Rising Tied. They are currently signed to Shinoda's Machine Shop Recordings label. They are also associated with the Demigodz supergroup which features similar artists such as Apathy, Celph Titled, and 7L & Esoteric.


Razor Tag is the first official full-length Styles Of Beyond Mixtape, released to promote the upcoming S.O.B. album Rocket Surgery. It is presented by DJ Green Lantern, who has worked with S.O.B. before, on the Fort Minor Mixtape, We Major. Incidentally, several of the tracks on Razor Tag contain vocal samples from the track There They Go, which is off the We Major mixtape. Savin' L.A. also includes several vocal samples from Ryu, from the track Can't Leave Rap Alone, off of Apathy's Eastern Philosophy album. Savin L.A. also includes vocals from Ryu's daughter Madison in the intro, and Madison also came up with the name Kill 'Em In The Face.
