News <p>So here it is...NO MERCY, the most honest and intimate installment of my life story as promised. Hope y'all enjoy it and it lives up to the very high standards I've set for myself or anyone who's to be considered one of the best. I must admit it takes a lot to go through as much as I have and still keep the love in your heart and in your art. But at the end of the day, if that's what it takes to produce the music that keeps the world of hip-hop evolving on it's axis....Then even the lowest of the lows of my life was all worth it.

News <p>Signing to any label doesn't make you the hottest artist or prove that you're working hard. It just means you can catch the eyes of executives. The question is how do you capitalize off your signing to make sure you'll eventually drop an album? Bei Maejor had the right answer. Aside from his production, Bei is signed to Jive and recently dropped his Upside Down free album. Twelve records spanning features from big names (T-Pain, Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, etc.) as well as matching production, mostly by himself, Maejor succeeded in doing what he set out to do.
