Beat Garden Entertainment is a collective of Philadelphia-based MC's, producers, visual artists, and more who have made their mark on the local scene since forming in 2006. They have managed to score a sizeable online audience through their critically acclaimed releases and unmatched live shows.
Together, Yadibox.com and Beat Garden Entertainment run things, simple and plain.
The Yadibox.com Mixtape is a collection of the best MCs Philly has to offer over tracks ranging from raw and rugged ("Prepare for Glory," "Beware," "Too Real") to laid back and funky ("The Grind," "Stop Fronting," "A Little Taste").

FILI-
One of, if not the best mixtape released this year. This plays more like a sampler than an actual mixtape, no DJ shouts over the tracks, just a sampling of some ill MC's out of Philly over new, exclusive beats and freestyles over well known instrumentals. A lot of you, including myself probably won't be too familiar with some of these MC's but they got skill, trust! This is a sort of introduction to what Beat Garden Ent has in store for an eager public cryin out for the real hip hop. The duo of Clean Guns already have an album out so does member, Nico the Beast who recently released a solo album. The other MC's on here do a get chance to shine and hopefully we'll hear much more from them in the future but for now, pop this in ya stereo and enjoy!
