BLESTeNATION Free Mixtape

(PR) BLESTeNATION have been called 'hip hop for rock fans'; their sound is a combination of samples of some timeless rock classics (Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love", Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion", Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing", etc.) and lyrics with a message, rapped and sung.

For the track "The Way It Is" they recruited Travis Barker of Blink 182 and +44 fame. Here is part of the PR blurb about them: Some say three's a crowd, but this trio knows there's enough room for everyone. A shared talent for spitting lyrics gave MCs Various and Werdplay a reason to conspire. "I walked up to Various at a house party, started talking, and a week later, we had this whole s*** set up," says the emotive lyricist Werdplay. The duo met Fafu and added him to the lineup as their resident DJ and beatmaker. With a sonic mixture of gritty appeal and comic relief on rock-rapinspired beats, BLESTeNATION was born.

"It's the combination of what we do together and our outlook on life," says Fafu of the group's best qualities. From touring with Scarface and Erik Sermon to rocking the warped tour; from collaborating with Method Man and Kardinal Offishall to working with Page Hamilton (Helmet),Travis Barker and many others, Bleste puts in more work than a crack ho before Christmas.
