“REAL HIP-HOP HEADS ALERT! lol. Yeh, thought that might get your attention and now it has let me tell you that you need to get this album. Its an official FREE download from the peeps at De Facto Entertainment and its a release that pays homage to Stealf’s on point production.”

— purpleresident

“Here we have, in my opinion, his best project to date. Why? Well there are a few reasons. I think the selection of beats as a project are near to perfect, with the right selection of shades of vibes to create something that sounds good together... This, for me, is where Stealf can sit back and feel proud, because this my friends is a solid release. If you like your Hip-Hop delivered with a garnish then Stealf is the chef for you, I can’t wait to see what else he cooks up.”

— Tricksta, ragomagazine.com

“ Stealf has style, thats for certain and its getting to the stage now that when i hear a track that is made with that certain something I just know its going to be Stealf who has produced it...DeFacto Entertainment his label are planning an onslaught of releases this year and I think this release and the prevous EP from Mista Flix have gave a new light to his label...I predict a riot! ”

— Alex Davello, bringdaruckus.com

“This album really does prove that Stealf is one of the UK’s leading Hip-Hop producers. It’s real testament to his label and to how much he has grown since his mixtape that he dropped with DJ Ames. Make sure you get this now”

— Josh Poewll, darealbiz.com

“This is a massive release that Hip-Hop fans are really going to love. Its a a collection of hard hitting beats and killer emcee’s all together on one project!...Stealf definitely has the skills to make waves and if this is the standard then the future looks bright for DeFacto.”

— Scott Patterson, hiphopmafia.com

“De Facto are stepping up the pace with a selection of free download projects from CEO and producer Stealf as well as his new artist Mista Flix...This is proper underground Hip-Hop...This is more of that old style UK Rap with a current flavour...UK Hip-Hop is such a wide tag now, but as far as the essence of what this music is and what it started out as, then ‘Lord Of The Real’ is exactley that. Its deep lyrically, so you need some kind of intelligence to actually understand what it is he does! ”

— talkingallthatrap.com

“Mista Flix signs with the UK based Hip-Hop record label De Facto Entertainment after the underground success of the Stealf produced Mista Flix five track EP ‘Conceptualized Deceit’. A full length Stealf produced debut album entitled ‘The Gospel For The Rap School’ is already in the works from Mista Flix…”

— urbanphenomenon.com

“‘Clash Of The Titans’ produced by Stealf being my personal favourite. This is quality UK Hip-Hop with top notch beats and heavy-hitting concepts. This ladies and gentlemen is De Facto… and we like it.”

— Josh Powell, darealbiz.com

“This is a good EP that UK Rap fans should definitely check for. Its lyrical onslaughts from the off from Mista Flix over some nice forward thinking production from the well respected UK beat-maker and CEO Stealf”

— Tricksta, Rago Magazine

“Stealf is about ‘real Hip-Hop’ and there’s a massive influx of golden era styles infused within production techniques and approach to recordings. This is underground music at its most original”

— Stu Patterson, hiphop4days.com

“Stealf has been reshaping the direction of his label De Facto as well as releasing and producing the dope EP ‘Beats & RhymesVol.1′ from US rapper Jackitdown Brown which featured Kool G Rap.”

— hiphoplifeandtimes.com

“ I love the fact he has teamed up with Stealf...Stealf gives up some solid production that really gives Flix the platform to drop science...I’ve jammed this EP loads this week and I’m still not bored of it! Great release and something that has got me listening to UK Rap again!!!”

— Alan Yates, fromthagutta.com

“This deadly duo have gave up the goods here and what I like the most about it was the fact it works nice as a collection. My only gripe was there wasn’t enough, but I guess that’s a good thing! Good solid UK Rap.”

— Josh Powell, Da Real Biz

“The “Conceptualized Deceit” EP just dropped, produced solely by Stealf, that dude has some jaw dropping beats in his locker and his creative vision has no boundaries, and the pace he works at is relentless, he is as real as they come and works hard.”

— Alex, Bring Da Ruckus

“Flix is currently working on his upcoming EP "Conceptualized Deceit" with Hip Hop super producer Stealf.”

— Urban Vault Interview, Urban Vault

“Stealf is one of the most steadfast and consistent cats I've ever worked with...If a track needs to be mixed...He's on it...If the vocals aren't lined up properly...He's on it....He put the right energy into the LP from conception to release date...Workin with that cat was truly a breath of fresh air”

— Solomon D' Augustine, The making of The Artful Dodgers LP

“Its hard to believe that there is a producer of Stealf's Caliber so readily available and within reach.My EP with Stealf has been ideal every step, so easy to work with and he can deliver EVERY time. His vision and work ethic is infectious and creates a positive momentum and mentality which enables you to fulfill your potential. Whether your fresh out the box or a Vet Stealf is the real deal and will always bring something dedicated and unique to each track he gives his seal of approval..... one of the hardest working producers in the game right now no doubt !”

— Mista Flix, The making of the Conceptualized Deceit EP

“Yes sir!! Your beats gave me a new lane to go down with my career and its dope I luv it...The Beats & Rhymes Vol.1 Ep is the kind of music I always wanted to do. Real hip hop not that watered down junk!”

— Jackitdown Brown, The making of Beats & Rhymes Vol. 1

“This album is the sound of a producer who has an unashamed love for pure hip-hop. Stealf has created an aural experience with draws out what made the scene great in the nineties, pulled together aspects of the US and UK sound, and given himself room to show off his skills while he's at it”

— Tom Denton, Recharged Magazine

“You got some fire trax homie, keep doin ya thing”

— Havoc of Mobb Deep

“Our overall conclusion is that this is a fantastic album which is an absolute must for any true music fan and we were blown away by the technical ability, the passion and the understanding shown whilst putting this together”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“Big up my boy Stealf doing some good stuff for the hip-hop movement”

— Tricksta, Tricksta - Facebook

“Now is definitely not a time to start sleeping on a true UK Genius who we associate with the “Not if but when …” tag when foreseeing his involvement in the fabric of UK Hip Hop”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“Word the switch ups are dope... drums patterns are dope too... You def got busy with the samples! keep it up!”

— Statik Selekta

“Once again Stealf has stood up tall and sent a loud banging message to the UK that he is here to stay and that he will continue to smash the scene, capturing some of the hottest names in Hip Hop as the Stealf snowball gathers momentum on its path to smashing into the industry at full force.”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“Stealf has already proved he is a producer making moves but Rain Bring Pain is his best work to date”

— certifiedbanger.co.uk

“ One of the most impressive features about this album is Stealf’s ability to keep the listener focused on the fact that this is not a collaboration album, and this isn’t a mix-tape, this is a producer’s album who has some fantastic guests but still refuses to have the show stolen”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“He’s a good way to spend to 79p lol! It’s the new single, in fact the first single from Stealf’s album ‘I Am Stealf’ which promises to be one of the best ‘producer’ albums of the year...This single is really good, from the concept to the lyrics to the beat and is a testament to how far Stealf has come since his mixtape with DJ Ames”

— Mick Walters, Real, Rugged & Raw

“The pride of UK Production”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“Stealf has definatley upped his game production wise. I mean to a certain degree a producer can only be as good as the vocalist they are working with. Well Nu Jerzey can rap and what he has brought to the table will definatley help this UK producer’s career. ”

— Josh Powell, thehiphopcrates.com

“Overall we take our hats off to Stealf for his vision and some awesome production work, but we might have to moan at Stealf for now leaving us hanging for the release of the album, of which we simply cannot wait to get our hands on!”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“He handles the production and handles it well while Blackwall Street artist Nu Jerzey Devil lays the track. The combination is a good one as the track has an infectious hook-line and a real good song concept...Stealf has dropped bombs (again!!!)”

— Lee Wellman, rawroots.com

“Stealf is fast becoming one of the hottest properties in the UK Scene producing some stunning tracks with some of the best talent around, cementing his place in the production scene and standing tall for the U.K.”

— Tom, finebeats.com

“It’s a killer of a track and is already getting some positive feedback from DJ’s both sides of the pond. Expect big things from Stealf in 2011, this is one producer who ain’t playing.”

— Tricksta, Rago Magazine

“Stealf is a UK producer with a worldwide vision and that is proven eveytime he turns on his Akai MPC!”

— Alex Davello, Bring Da Ruckus

“This typifies Stealf's crate-digging, MPC-focused production style, and the sample's manipulated perfectly around the vocals of featured MC Nu Jerzey Devil.”

— Tom Denton, Recharged Magazine

“Stealf's musical approach has managed to draw out the latent emotion of the words, creating an end product that could put you in mind of some of Dr Dre's Death Row output.”

— Tom Denton, Recharged Magazine

“What I like about STEALFS beats, is the fact they're straight hip hop, he really captures that gritty N.Y sound with the MPC. But what I like most of all is the way he backs things, A real safe guy to work with.”

— Deeze, Artist

“I consider a beat good or great, when two things happen: 1) It makes me want to pick up a mic and start rapping and 2) If I actually enjoy listening to the beat by itself And your beats definitely fit this...you are one of the best producers I've heard in a while... So keep it up and good look in the future...”

— Rex, Artist

"Stealf, the UK producer who has worked with 40Glocc, Jadakiss, The Game, Jim Jones and more also comes up trumps with the last track ‘My Business Card’. I love the concept of this track and the way Deeze delivers it is so tight

— Stu Patterson, Mixtgapematters.com

“You got the tightest samples bro”

— Mike Dizzle, Artist

“Big up Stealf, the remix you did for my Council Estate track is hot. Emcees need to holla at this guy, He's fully professional ”

— Late - Wolftown Recording Artist, Stealf's Council Estate Remix

“Nothing But Real Hip Hop Beats Here!!.. keep doing your thing my dude”

— Jay-Son, Artist

“Helpful, patient and supportive, Stealf aims to provide the artist with their exact needs and always guarantees quality music. From big names to up and comers, Stealf is about one thing, real hip hop!”

— Lullabye (H.O.O.D. Fellaz), Artist

“Stealf is looking to build a bridge with artists from the UK and USA, in order to spread his sound across the globe like a musical virus. This humble and talented producer has already been making noise with his debut mixtape, ‘Avoiding Radar Protection’which is mixed and hosted by leading UK mixtape man, DJ Ames. The mixtape features official remixes, tracks and collaborations all produced entirely by Stealf.”

— Nik Squared, B Somebody Website

“The hottest producer this side of London, always guaranteed top quality beats and a professional manner”

— Sir Mic, Artist

“Here we get a selection of tracks over jacked beats as well as tracks from some of the UK’s leading producers such as Stealf”

— Nexting, www.downloadamixtape.com

“Stealf is a very professional producer who is ALWAYS on point with his business and music.. he is a pleasure to work with and a dope Hip-Hop producer who is destined for greatness!”

— Capital R, Artist

“Stealf is a twenty-nine year old hip-hop producer who has firmly established his reputation with his mixtape Avoiding Radar Detection...Stealf's down-to-earth, humble personality belies the heavyweight beats he's been turning out, and when his album drops in December it's clearly going to cement his reputation as one of the hottest names in hip-hop in the UK."”

— Tom Denton, Recharged Magazine

“Stealf beats are a challenge they bring out the best in an MC thats what sets my dude Stealf apart of the rest”

— JackitDown Brown, Artist
