His name is an acronym  for the Divine Real Essence of Sound (D.R.E.S.). D.R.E.S. tha BEATnik  has been compared to artists such as Rahzel the Godfather of Noize,  Bobby McFerrin, Doug E. Fresh, and Biz Markie. In addition to the  artists mentioned, D.R.E.S. tha BEATnik has also taken the stage with  Black Eyed Peas, KRS-One, MF Doom, Busta Rhymes, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Slick  Rick, Mos Def, Jurassic5, Dilated Peoples, Public Enemy, Talib Kweli, De  La Soul, Rakim, Del the Funkee Homosapien, DJ Krush, Massinfluence, the  Roots, Kanye West, DJ Green Lantern, Common, and Erykah Badu. D.R.E.S.  tha BEATnik also lent his talents to Open Transport, a  nationally-distributed video compilation featuring Pharoahe Monch,  Reflection Eternal, and many other underground hip-hop artists. Always  embarking on new adventures, in 2006, D.R.E.S. toured the People’s  Republic of China alongside Public Enemy’s Own DJ Lord. The 6-Week  experience placed D.R.E.S. in front of Thousands of Fans who had only  heard of Him on record. While in China, D.R.E.S. also made time to host a  number of Hip Hop Clinics in which he educated the Youth of China on  the Culture of Hip Hop, as well as, the responsibility of keeping the  Culture of Hip Hop alive. He also took the time to film his accounts in  China for a documentary called “The Beatnik Chronicles”. “I wanted to do  this so that the world can see for itself what its like to live in  China... I’m always looking to make a mark in the world and I believe  that Hip Hop is the key to communicating with the Youth”, D.R.E.S. said  in a recent interview. “The Role or Responsibility of an Artist is to  advance civilization, as we know it.” For more info: http://www.indiereviewcd.com https://twitter.com/IndieRevue https://www.instagram.com/indie.review https://www.facebook.com/indie.review
