ABOUT BEAT MASTERS
Originally known as Zulu Jam Producer’s Edition which began in 2012, Beat Masters emerged as 206 Zulu’s flagship annual Hip Hop producers event. While Beat Masters is centered around the highly anticipated open format head-to-head tournament, the event often includes special producer showcases, workshops, panel discussions and a range of additional supplemental programming.
Beat Masters carries a continuing mission to:
- Raise awareness that beat making/production is an authentic and viable aspect of Hip Hop culture.
- Advocate for and establish spaces in Seattle where producers and aspiring producers can be in a supportive environment that spotlights not just the performing artist, but the often unrecognized art and craft of production.
- Dispel the negative connotations that Rap/Hip Hop music has through education and awareness.
- Showcase the Northwest region’s diverse range of talent.
