PressBeatnam Vets: Revolutionary music group consisting of producers, Jonah Hakim and Joshua Rahim, and lyrical vocal composer/emcee, Solomon. Together, the three use music as a weapon to speak for those who can't speak for themselves. Their latest project, The “R” album, is lyrically forced by Solomon.

In addition to writing the album, Solomon is an incredible ghostwriter. Throughout his life he has been influenced by leaders such as Fred Hampton, Assata Shakur, Malcom X, Angela Davis, Leonard Peltier, Dhoruba Al-Mujahid, and Nelson Mandela, just to name a few. A Hip Hop messiah, Solomon is a messenger, where Allah's words flow from him through the microphone to the people.

All great lyrics need great beats. That is where Jonah and Joshua Vincent shine their brightest. Since the age of two, the twins have been influenced by artists from Curtis Mayfield, Herbie Hancock, and The Count Basie Big Band to Third Eye Blind, Maroon 5, and many others. In addition to producing, the brothers are also true musicians. Jonah, trumpet player, has performed with the legendary drummer; Antonio Hart, Ed Thigpen; and James Brown's Trombonist, Fred Wesley. Joshua not only plays the trombone in NCCU’s Jazz Big Band, but also uses his musical gift along with his education in history to lead his brothers and sisters to mental freedom. Their high level of talent and extra-ordinary skill has allowed the brothers to express themselves through music all across the country; from New York to New Orleans, Atlanta to Los Angeles.

Together, the three create world changing music. Beatnam Vets’ sound is like nothing you've ever heard before, yet something the world definitely needs more of. The time has come for our people to rage, rule, realize, react, re-enforce, resist, rebel, rebuild, remember, and regain; THE “R” ALBUM.
