Fanatik for a more evolved hip-hop<br />
Art, in any and all its forms, is the truest representation<br />
of the soul. To understand an artist and his<br />
creations, it hence makes sense to delve deep into<br />
the alleys of his mind and at least try to understand<br />
his beliefs, inspirations and thought processes that<br />
seamlessly blend to give birth to newer creations.<br />
Thanks to the social networking sites, taking a peek<br />
into the psychology is not that difficult after all.<br />
For instance, one of the tweets of music artist and<br />
producer OnBeats aka Fanatik reads, ‘Never met a<br />
Beat I didn’t Break’ thus setting our expectations for<br />
something new, unique and almost revolutionary<br />
in its nature and appeal. The progressive listeners<br />
already know what this veteran hip-hop artist has<br />
in store for them every time. But perhaps not all are<br />

of the hip-hop genre, the name OnBeats perhaps<br />
hints at the powerful symphonic deluge that has<br />
taken over the music lover’s world and the passion<br />
and ‘Fanatik’cism that has forever changed the<br />
way hip-hop was perceived. Not only has OnBeats<br />
given the world an evolved hip-hop music but has<br />
also introduced such future stars as Planet Asia, DJ<br />
Babu and Rhettmatic and the Subcontinents. In<br />
fact, the sparse relaxed beats of Fanatik provided<br />
the perfect backdrop where Planet Asia’s battletested<br />
flow would find its truest expression. The<br />
duo appeared together on Tripek Records’ Rules of<br />
the Game compilation alongside veterans like the<br />
Living Legends and the Coup.<br />
The official website of Fanatik describes him as a<br />
beat maker, music producer and multimedia artist.<br />
And, in all these capacities, sometimes alone and<br />
sometimes in collaboration with another artist or
