New Music Spotlight: Risk for Reward – Poets 1

Editor Note:

Beatbay is proud to have been a part of this new release. All the beats on this 6 track CD were Beatbay exclusives. This is the first release to be entirely powered by Beatbay producers. Props go out to Poets 1 for rolling the dice and believing in himself.

Poets 1 discovered hip hop at a young age via his older brother’s mixtapes. Influential artists in these early days included Xzibit, Cypress Hill, Dr. Dre and 2 Pac. Moving to Melbourne in his teens Poets discovered the Oz Hip Hop scene. Poets was immediately hooked on the Melbourne scene and in his own words:

 “I didn’t truly discover the Oz Hip Hop scene until about the age of 15 (which was when I moved to the Burn). I fell in love with the culture – the graff and the music had me deeply intrigued and still does to this day – 13 years later.”

Fast forward to 2022 and Poets 1’s debut EP “Risk for Reward” was a spontaneous release. Poets spent the last 6 years away from recording music due his own self doubt and personal struggles, but with encouragement from his old friend Ruwems, Poets got back into recording again.

“Just something as simple as that from an old mate got me thinking. I had been following Ciecmate on Instagram for quite a while and saw he was slanging some beats. Clicked the link, headed to Beatbay and started going through his catalogue – the beats were BANGING! It was a complete risk for reward situation, I had no idea what I was doing or where it would lead. Once I left that studio on the first session, I was so amped up, I took the risk and came out with the reward of self-achievement. I didn’t care if a single person listened to it, it was about my own art form. A long passion I had always desired and love I have for the culture. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Produced, mixed and mastered by the Generalissimo of BTE – Ciecmate (who also features on track 4 “Heaven”) – this release is a 6 tracker of Hip Hop bangers. Stand out tracks like “Risk for Reward”, “Heaven” and “Verbal Assault” showcases Poets lyrical flow and skill.

Poets 1 – Risk for Reward is available now on Poets 1’s bandcamp site
