PARTYMAN & GLOBAL BEATBANDITZ: BRIDGING CALIFORNIA THROUGH SOUND AND UNITY
“Prior to the remix, the original version included Al West, Mike Fatz, and Dap Daniel from the Brohydez,” Partyman explains. “That song was fire, and we thought a remix would be even better with a more popular artist. We asked Glasses Malone to jump on it — he was a natural fit. Once he accepted, the Compton, Watts, Richmond connection was born.”
As one fan described it, “It’s a drunk man’s anthem” — but behind the humor is a deeper sense of unity and celebration. Dap Daniel from Brohydez recalls how the song was born out of a spontaneous morning session with his crew. “We were all bored at Fatz’s house one morning, thinking about having a drink. It was too early, but we said, ‘It’s 5 o’clock somewhere,’” he laughs. “We hit the store, got a bottle, and started recording. That’s how the 5 o’clock saga began.”
The remix, Partyman says, captures that same carefree, communal spirit. “It’s a feel-good record. It’s about bringing three cities together — me from Compton, Glasses Malone from Watts, and the Brohydez brothers from Richmond. No matter how early it is, with the right elements and a ‘don’t care’ attitude, there’s never a wrong time to party. And nobody can party like the West.”
But beyond the party vibes lies a mission. For Partyman and his team, Global BeatBanditz isn’t just a production unit — it’s a movement. “The idea came from wanting to unite artists and musicians from diverse backgrounds who share a common passion for pushing creative boundaries,” he says. “We’re a conglomerate in every sense of the word — different people and styles grouped together as one powerful whole. That’s why we call ourselves Global. It’s not just about making tracks; it’s about creating a platform for expression, collaboration, and empowerment.”
Their motto, “The sky is not the limit but only the beginning,” reflects that ambition. “It’s about believing there are no ceilings,” Partyman explains. “Every limit we face is just a chance to explore further, to evolve, and to prove that our best work is always ahead of us.”
While the group blends genres like hip-hop, soul, and jazz, their sound remains cohesive — built on groove, energy, and authenticity. “We respect each artist’s voice and influences, and we find the common ground where it all clicks,” says Partyman. “That’s the beauty of Global BeatBanditz — it’s diversity with purpose.”
Michael “Dap” Daniel adds his own perspective on how regional roots shape the group’s chemistry. “Richmond had a huge influence on the Bay Area sound,” he says proudly. “The Brohydez stay ‘Richmond with it’ no matter what. It’s just embedded in us.”
Partyman also highlights what separates Global BeatBanditz from other collectives. “Groups like the L.A. Leakers are amazing at showcasing established artists. But what makes us different is our focus on cultural fusion and community-driven creativity. We’re not just showcasing talent — we’re cultivating it.”
Beyond music, the team is expanding into sync licensing and brand partnerships, aiming to bring their unique sound to film, TV, and gaming. “We’re currently doing that in collaboration with Bellringer Productions,” says Partyman. “We want to create music that elevates visual storytelling and connects with audiences. It’s about bridging music and media in a way that feels real and lasting.”
Looking ahead, Global BeatBanditz is gearing up for multiple projects. “Next up, we’re releasing a producer/artist project featuring Dap Daniel, myself, and several other talented independent artists,” Partyman reveals. “We’re also working on a series of singles showcasing different genres and live instruments. Big things are on the horizon — we can’t wait to share them with our supporters.”
From the studio to the stage, Global BeatBanditz is proving that unity, creativity, and authenticity are still the driving forces of real music. As Partyman puts it, “We’re just getting started — the sky isn’t the limit, it’s only the beginning.”
