Teezy" src="http://indytrackhustle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DSC_2850.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="230" />In this time of crisis and turmoil, happiness is something that people  all over the world want to feel and music plays a big part.  With an  upbeat tempo, and beats that make you want to move and get up and dance,  P.A. Teezy has the sound that makes you forget about your problems.</p>
<p>After discovering his talent at the age of 12, P.A. Teezy has steadily  continued to develop and mature his sound into what is is today.   Already an underground Miami legend with the club smash &#8220;Do My Dance,&#8221;  P.A. Teezy is now poised to take over the world.</p>
<p>P.A. Teezy&#8217;s new single  <span id="more-2712"></span>&#8220;Bennie Biggle Wiggle,&#8221; off of the &#8220;P.A. Teezy vs.  DJ Pat&#8221; mixtape, has quickly spread all over Florida as well as portions  of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, D.C., Maryland,  Virginia, Canada, and even the UK. P.A. Teezy is making a name for  himself and quickly proving that he belongs in this game called music,  for now and many years to come.</p>

<p>Recently, I had a chance to talk to the up-and-coming Hip-Hop duo RIBKAT AND JOSY B. They&#8217;ve already had a placement in the Oscar-nominated film the <em>The Wrestler</em>, a 2008 Hollywood Music Award nomination and an Effigy Award for best Hip Hop song in 2009 under their belts. They recently released their latest album <em>Theory of Addicts</em> and it looks like 2010 is going to be a good year for Tak and Josy B.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ribkatandjosyb.com/main.html"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1407" src="http://musicgoat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/red1_23-300x239.jpg" alt="Ribkat and Josy B." width="300" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>The chemistry between the two of you is undeniable, how did you meet and what made you start performing together?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I wrote a song called &#8220;Redrum&#8221; and I really wanted a female to sing the chorus I had written, and then, what do you know? With the snap of a finger, I was introduced to a cute, vivacious Puerto Rican girl with amazing vocals that went by the name of Josy B. Shortly  after the recording, I realized our chemistry was so magnetic and decided to release the song as our first single, which did great overseas, and we continued to work together from that point on</p>
<p>What is the first song you ever wrote together?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It was a song called &#8216;Reveriez&#8221; which happened to be our first single from our new album <em>Theory of Addicts</em>. You can get a free download of our album at <a href="http://www.ribkatandjosyb.com">www.RIBKATANDJOSYB.COM</a>. I strongly encourage all you folks out there to come join us and get yourself a free copy!</p>
<p>Tak, you&#8217;ve been in the game a long time with groups like Styles of Beyond and Fort Minor, how is RIBKAT AND JOSY B. different?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">For starters, I&#8217;ve never done an entire project with a female. Another is I got a chance to reinvent myself and showcase my music production and songwriting ability in a way the fans have never heard or would ever expect. Our sound is more electro-pop tip with a fusion of 80&#8242;s music and early 90&#8242;s Hip Hop in it&#8217;s prime. I never considered myself to be a rapper for the most part, but more of a songwriter who was always intrigued by the art of storytelling, with the soul of a musician.</p>
<p>Josy B., you&#8217;ve had the opportunity to work with the legendary Dr. Dre, tell us about the experience.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It was an awesome opportunity and a great learning experience. At the time, Dre was doing the soundtrack for a movie called<em> El Diablo</em> and we worked together to write some lyrics in Spanish for a track that was used for one of the scenes. The song turned out great! He was a really fun and down-to-earth guy and it was an honor to have worked with the Dr.</p>
<p>Josy B., you seem to love fashion, does your style influence your music and stage persona?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Fashion is my love!!! I&#8217;m addicted to accessories and colorful bags. What I wear is who I am which has a lot of influence not only with the music that I do but on stage as well. I don&#8217;t try to think too hard about what I&#8217;m going to wear when I perform. I&#8217;m very versatile with my visions and mood and sometimes I throw something together spontaneously, so you never know what I may be wearing when I come out!</p>
<p>Your new album <em>Theory of Addicts</em> was just released, what tracks are you most excited to perform live?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">To be honest, we get excited to perform all of our songs because we love our album! We don&#8217;t use profanity in any way and we strongly believe in unifying a nation of people young and elderly through a positive medium of enjoyable music with an innovative energy behind it.</p>
<p>If you could collaborate with any other artist/s who would it be?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A man-made android combining the DNA of Culture Club, Talking Heads, Human League, Huey and the News, Tears for Fears, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J., Leaders of the New School, with a splash of Michael Jackson.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the game plan for 2010?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">To infect the world with a plague called &#8220;Good Honest Music&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;Sheena Felix</p>

Just when you thought the flute was strictly for use in the symphony and Jethro Tull tunes, someone comes along and adds a little beatbox and a lot of flavor.

<p>This talented individual was able to take his beatbox skills and merge them with his flute playing skill. I love coming across stuff like this because it is a great reminder that there are endless ways to do something different.</p>
<p>Check it out as Nathan takes it outside of the box.</p>

<p>Very cool aye?</p>
<p>Make sure you stop by and check out some of his other videos over on YouTube. And while your there&#8230;wink, wink&#8230;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/musicgoat1">befriend the Musicgoat</a>. See you there!</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s some music you need to check out. The group is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/atmosphere">Atmosphere</a> and they are an Indie Hip Hop duo from Minneapolis.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to get permission &#8211; for a few months now &#8211; to play some of their stuff on the podcast but haven&#8217;t had any luck. Today I was soaking them in while riding in my car and figured it was time I said something via a quick post.</p>
<p>Their latest release &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Furl%3Dsearch-alias%253Ddigital-music%26field-keywords%3Dwhen%2Blife%2Bgives%2Byou%2Blemons%26x%3D0%26y%3D0&amp;tag=ml0a-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint That Shit Gold</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ml0a-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important" width="1" border="0" height="1" />&#8221; offers up a little something for everyone and you can tell they&#8217;ve been at it for awhile (this is their fifth full length album). The sound quality is top notch, the rhymes are heartfelt and thought provoking. These dudes are seasoned pros.</p>
<p>Overall, the release deserves at least a listen from anyone with a wide music pallet. And if you are a hip hop diehard (Dubz!), just <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Furl%3Dsearch-alias%253Ddigital-music%26field-keywords%3Dwhen%2Blife%2Bgives%2Byou%2Blemons%26x%3D0%26y%3D0&amp;tag=ml0a-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">download &#8220;When Life Gives You Lemons&#8221; now</a>&#8230;.trust me.</p>
<p>Check it out and if you agree or disagree, let us know in the comments below. Oh, and if you are not sure where to start, give my favorites a listen; &#8220;Yesterday&#8221;, &#8220;Guarantees&#8221;, &#8220;Wild Wild Horses&#8221;, &#8220;The Waitress&#8221;, and &#8220;In Her Music Box.&#8221;</p>
