DON’T SLEEP: Die-Rek “Beat Die-A-Logue” [BEAT TAPE]
Toronto beatmaker/producer Die-Rek’s “Beat Die-A-Logue” beat tape has been making the rounds in the beat culture section of these internets for a while now. I saw things were a little slow so I decided to take some time off until I had a day where I could post upwards of 10 releases for a change. This effort is one of the reasons that this looks like one of those days again. Don’t sleep on it…
