Beat Rabbi shows retirement needn’t mean complete obscurity with Mazel Tov Cocktail.

You can’t keep a good hip hop clergyman down. While Beat Rabbi has no calls to return to the beat bimah, he has blessed us with a farewell project of sorts. Mazel Tov Cocktail is a 31-track beat tape, the last hurrah to a brilliant career, packed with classic boom bap and break-filled rhythms.

Here’s what Beat Rabbi had to say about the project:

“I assume other producers have been in a similar situation where they have a number of beats they really like that have been repeatedly passed over by rappers for years and they think, I really would like to get these joints out there and heard so people know all the kinds of sounds and styles I’ve experimented with, even if a rapper doesn’t want to rhyme on it. That’s how this project started, though it expanded beyond just that. But being that I hung up the beat making trade years ago, I needed the right person to edit, mix and master these beats – and spice them up to make them presentable. DJ Sean P is that dude for me – I have so much respect for his ear, style and talent and was blessed that enthusiastically signed up for the task. So here it is – some Beat Rabbi as you have and haven’t heard him before, topped off with some Sean P funk.”

He lived up to his name, omnipresent among the breaks and creating sermons from them. They say faith can move mountains and thanks to Beat Rabbi, his music moved crowds.
