DON’T SLEEP: Canya Reial “SPECIAL WEEDZ VOL. 4” [BEAT TAPE]
Canya Reial’s ongoing instrumental series “Special Weedz” is a take off on DOOM’s iconic “Special Herbs” instrumental albums. I guarantee you’ll dig this as well. Maybe I shouldn’t be making guarantees, though. If I make guarantees it’s have to be about something I’m absolutely sure of. OK, I guarantee I won’t ever get drunk & wake up in bed with a Kardashian sister. I don’t drink so I’d be completely sober. Just listen to the damb beat tape!
