Back when I was promoting The Beat Tape Project’s “The Ghostface Beat Tape” I was corresponding back and forth with Gadget of Digital Hustle Films and The Beat Tape Project talking about how great an idea the project was.

Gadget told me that his next two projects were already set up, “The Smooth Grooves Beat Tape” for Valentine’s Day and a Beatnuts beat tape in either March or April. Great minds think alike, I guess. Here is the long awaited “Return Of The Tec: The Beatnuts Beat Tape” featuring slaps by Newstalgia, Logikbomb, T-Mos, 4AR, DJ Mr. Doc, Jono Dorr, The Aqua League and more. Don’t sleep!
