DON’T SLEEP: Ta-Ku “D U S T Y” [BEAT TAPE]
If it weren’t for me seeing this on my trusty Bandcamper app late last night/early this morning on my iPhone I’d have NO idea Ta-Ku even dropped “D U S T Y”. I feel asleep playing it (cuz it was 4 AM) but it’s bananas so cop it if you can. Don’t sleep (unless you’ve been up for 32 straight hours)…

DON’T SLEEP: Ta-Ku “50 DAYS FOR DILLA” [BEAT TAPE]
50 days ago the homie Ta-Ku began a huge undertaking where he’d make a beat a day for 50 straight days in honor of one of his biggest influences (and mine) Jay Dee AKA J Dilla. I made a choice early on that I could post each of his beats or I could listen to them, wait and post the entire project after he was done for the sake of continuity. This way the full weight of this immense project captures the listener. I’ve embedded the entire run of Ta-Ku’s “50 DAYS FOR DILLA” on the site and I’ll give y’all some time to listen before I post anything else up on PIK. Don’t sleep…
