So put on your Oakley Razor-Blades and dowse your nose with some PDF-30 because is S.O.B. is back with their junior release Reseda Beach which will be released on 10-23-2012 on Dirty Version Records. Styles Of Beyond’s long-delayed Reseda Beach LP has achieved mythical type status due to the fact that the group started work on the project so man

He adds grit to grime and flips style on its head when he pitches Cam’ron down to sound like the boogie monster, or when he remixes Madlib into a place just as quirky and mesmerizing as the hera
