Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 is a mixtape by American recording artist Mýa. It is her first mixtape to be released by Young Empire Music Group with distribution from Fontana Distribution on September 29, 2009. The project came to surface when Harrison felt as though she had abandoned her U.S. fan base and wanted to release music for them. The mixtape served as Harrison's second independently released project on her own label imprint Planet 9 and was created to serve the "clubs, strip clubs, whips, and bedroom" with a predominantly southern sound.
Production on Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 was primarily handled by in-house producers selected by Harrison; Young Yonny, The Bama Boyz, T-Minus, Arkatech Beatz and a host of others. Just as she did previously with her fifth studio album Sugar & Spice (2008), Harrison lent a hand in the songwriting process, co-writing several of the mixtape's tracks with many different artists and songwriters and served as executive producer to the project. Guest features included a then unknown Nicki Minaj, Houston native rappers Bun B, Chamillionaire, Trae, Slim Thug and Z-Ro and Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo.

The Basters (also known as Baasters, Rehobothers or Rehoboth Basters) are the descendants of Cape Colony Dutch and indigenous African women. They live largely in Namibia, in and around the town of Rehoboth, and are similar to Coloured or Griqua people in South Africa.
The name Baster is derived from the Dutch word for "bastard" (or "crossbreed"). While some people consider this term demeaning, the Basters proudly use the term as an indication of their history.
While the current numbers of Basters remain unclear (figures between 20,000 and 40,000 are given), the Basters are concerned that their unique heritage will be lost in a modern Namibia.
The Basters were mainly persons of mixed descent who at one time would have been absorbed in the white community. However, it was as much an economic and cultural category as a racial one, and included the most economically advanced non-white population at the Cape. Among these were persons who acted as supervisors of other servants and were the confidential employees of their masters. Sometimes, these were treated almost as members of the white family. The group also included Khoi, free blacks and persons of mixed descent who had succeeded in acquiring property and establishing themselves as farmers in their own right. The term Orlam was sometimes applied to persons who could also be known as Baster but was a more general name for Khoi and Coloured persons generally who spoke Dutch and practised a largely European way of life.
Baster is a band which from Réunion founded in 1983. They perform sega, maloya and reggae. Their music has been described as electric maloya. They are one of the most popular maloya groups and perform a poetic and lyrical form of the genre.
They formed at Basse-Terre, which was formerly a village near Saint-Pierre but, due to urban sprawl, it is now part of Saint-Pierre.
Their songs are defined by their texts in Réunion Creole written and sung by Thierry Gauliris, and their addition of reggae elements set with strong guitar solos.
In 2002, he went to the Tuff Gong studio of Bob Marley and did reggae versions of his greatest hits.
The Basters are an ethnic group in Namibia.
