Here’s a brand new beat tape from Overknights Crew member and Bedroom Research‘s own Digi G’Alessio done exclusively with an SP 404 and a keyboard for synths. 20 slaps that are each 1 minute long so you can’t get bored with anything, if anything you’d wanna rewind a few jawns. Don’t sleep on this one. The cover art alone is genius…

The last time Cloud. was featured on Producers I Know was for his beat tape “Hang + Bang” way back in May (incidentally, the same month I began to get really serious with this site). Now he’s back with “Candycoated Freshness” for your ears n’ shit. Yeah, ingest this hotness into your earholes and skeet due to overwhelming aural pleasure later. I apologize. I had some serious time to kill between writing this entry and posting it. Don’t sleep…

Hir-O of the BLAT! Pack dropped a new 9 song/beat project called “The Freakstrumental Joint” on the internet today. Rather than drop it on his Bandcamp he made his own website and offered it as a download via Hulkshare. I typically bristle at these things but I downloaded it anyways and I’m glad I did. It boasts features from Lyric Jones, L05 and Antonia Moses and some ill production you can’t afford to sleep on. You can download it here…
