Former Rhythm & Flow Fan Favorite Beanz Showcases Her Spitting Skills on “Basement”

With a booming voice and an uncompromising attitude, Beanz won’t stop working ’til she reaches the top. Sharing a freestyle video for her fans, the Pennsylvania native opens up with “Basement.” Rhyming over hypnotic flutes and booming bass from star producer Wheezy, Beanz takes a moment to take shots at haters as she celebrates her ability to by a new whip for her mom: “I desire for more, that’s why I get mine/When I be out workin’, you inside, bedtime/I don’t see a limit goin’ farther than the end line.” In the video for “Basement,” the proud East Coaster continues to enoy her vacation to sunny California, as she rides escalators to symbolize her rising career path. “Basement” quickly follows last week’s release of Crackin, produced by JetsonMade, and the freestyle video for Waves, which featured a cameo appearance from Bay Area sound architect P-Lo, who produced the track.

Born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, a mid-sized city located between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Beanz started on her artistic path at the age of 12, when she started writing poetry to escape her household struggles. As she grew older, her poems turned into rap songs, and she developed a reputation as the best rapper in her city. Beanz brought her artistry to a larger audience when she joined the cast of Rhythm & Flow, Netflix’s first-ever reality competition show. Though she didn’t win, Beanz became a fan favorite, winning the affections of many with her lyricism and take-no-prisoners attitude. Since Rhythm & Flow, Beanz has been active, releasing successful singles like “Can’t Call It” (over 1 million streams across platforms) and collaborating with Dizzy Wright for “Sick Of Complaining.”

Determined to raise her game, the artist is preparing to drop a deluge of new music, including a forthcoming project set to arrive in the spring. Haters take note: there’s no stopping Beanz season.
