DON’T SLEEP: Exibeo “Beat Mix 2” [BEAT MIX]
Early last month, a UK producer named Exibeo took to online forums such a Future Producers to open up threads offering his production to potential clients. It didn’t go very far. He also posted up some beats via YouTube and his SoundCloud page which has gone largely undiscovered by now. I heard the beats he uploaded and I decided to post his last 11 minute beat mix up on PIK. If you’re interested hit Exibeo up @Exibeobeats1[at]gmail[dot]com for availability and pricing. Serious inquiries only. Don’t sleep…

El-P’s new video off his excellent new album “Cancer 4 Cure” is for the jawn “The Full Retard”. This video is pretty much what you’d expect from El-P. Well, it’s what I’D expect from El-P seeing as he’s from my generation and grew up on Phillip K. Dick & all the post apocalyptic urban Sci Fi culture I grew up with. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Cream.cz x Inphy “MyNameIs: Inphy” [MINI DOCUMENTARY]
The illest thing about this interview with Inphy is that he chopped an obscure song by The Triads I started playing back in the Summer of 2009 when I began doing #DiggasKnow from my Dart Adams Twitter account and later from my Producers I Know one. You get to hear quite a few hot Inphy beats so if you’ve been sleeping on him up until now? Stop. Now wiggle with it. Don’t sleep…

JayLotus dropped this ill beat tape called “Ganesha” three months ago but I didn’t hear it until he posted his bandcamp link on Twitter randomly. Yes, people. I actually do go and listen to everything. As much material as you see posted here there’s FAR more that doesn’t. So much more that it would boggle your minds. You could make a separate blog for all the shit I turn down called “Producers I Don’t Even Wanna Know”. Don’t sleep…

Back in February, a beatmaker from the Russian Federation named Mr.KiD made a beat tape called “Fragments” that I managed to sleep on. Here we are at the end of May and I’m just catching up to it. The only thing I can do to make amends for my mistake is to share it with as many people as possible. I only wish I had a world renowned music blog and thousands of readers from all over the globe so I could make that happen. Ah well… *Shrugs* Oh. Wait. I fuckin’ DO. Don’t sleep…
