Collaborative efforts

Non-Prophets

Non-Prophets is a pairing of lyricist Sage Francis and beatmaker Joe Beats. The duo came to attention with their first single, the "Drop Bass" b/w "Bounce" on Emerge Music in 1999. The follow up release came in 2000 as the "All Word, No Play" vinyl single. Francis’ self-released his "Sick Of" series also included some Non-Prophets material.

Their debut album, Hope was finally released on Lex Records in October 2003. The album was praised almost unanimously by critics. For example, it received a rating of a 9.2 (out of a possible 10) on the ever fickle Pitchfork Media. Hope was also nominated by Neil Strauss for the Shortlist Music Prize of 2004. In early 2004 they toured the United States on the infamous 40-city Fuck Clear Channel tour.

Joe Beats & Blak

Joe Beats & Blak came together during significant pauses in both of their former groups (Non-Prophets and One Drop). The pairing is simple: Joe on the beats and Blak on the mic. Their formula is even more straight ahead: pure hip hop music.

Despite living over 1200 miles apart (Rhode Island to Florida) the new duo have already embarked on two tours, releasing an EP in the process. Settling the score is not the name of the game, catering to no one is. Joe Beats & Blak are now in the process of creating their first LP.

olo career

Most of Joe’s solo efforts are presented in a continuous mix; one track transitions into the next without any pauses. With the exception of Indie Rock Blues, Beats’ projects usually contain raw hip hop instrumentals originally intended for emcees to rap over. He has yet to do an all-out instrumental album in the vein of DJ Shadow's Endtroducing.

Joe doesn’t contribute much guest work or one shot beats for albums. He prefers to be the executive producer for an album. This is why his instrumentals for whatever rare guest production he has done appear compiled in the mix on his beat releases.
