Two beatmakers/producers that had the great 2011’s are Prof.Logik and Ackryte. To further prove how unfair a pairing between the both of them would be simply listen to this collaborative beat tape/instrumental project called “BrushStrokes”. All I can say is “DAMB!”. Don’t sleep…

Imagine this: early Esthero x Samurai Champloo OST’s x early Little Dragon. What you end up with is something near the aesthetic of OneOfUs’ “Disengage” project. If you somehow managed to sleep on Sinitus Tempo’s latest album “Koyo (Autumn Leaves)” then kick your own self in the ass and download this jawn because it’s free and it really shouldn’t be.

DON’T SLEEP: Kenny Keys “The Neon Brown Sound Vol. 1” [BEAT TAPE]
I was first put onto Kenny Keys a few years ago by some of the folks I follow on Twitter. I just saw someone on Twitter talking about this beat tape “The Neon Brown Sound Vol. 1” early this morning (like 4 AM) so I found the Bandcamp page & fell asleep (I managed to close the laptop first). When I awoke, I did the customary morning routine then I listened to this. Jeebus. This dude is a BEAST. Don’t sleep…
