DON’T SLEEP: Beatz Boutique “Beat Tape Vol. 1” [BEAT TAPE]
Hartford, CT’s Beatz Boutique made a beat tape a couple of weeks back I didn’t hear until tonight. I dug what I heard so I decided to give it some shine after seeing it posted on Beat Tape Co-Op earlier. My only issue is that too many of these beats are too damb long. So long, in fact, I had to post this beat tape the NEXT DAY before I even heard the whole damb thing. This beat tape should’ve only been half the length but still…Don’t sleep on it…
