Beatnik Castle also was placed in the Grammy Ballot categories “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year” in 2010. The showcase performance will debut new Beatnik singer Ohsha Kai and the sophomore Beatnik single “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart (Like Mine)?” – a seventies-style old school dance track with, according to Quincy B,  “has plenty of strings and backing vocals.”The Spanish Rap version of Beatnik Castle’s current single “Will U B Mine?” – appropriately titled  “Tu Puedos ser Mio?”will be performed by Tampa Hip-Hop Duo Apocalipsis and Leemarie. Leemarie also will sing back-up with Ohsha on “Broken Heart.”

“Wait until you see and hear these kids perform “Will U B Mine?” exclaims an excited Ohsha. “It just adds another dimension to the single!”
