I saw a Depakote beat tape with a crappy cover floating around on other sites but I wasn’t sure it was his so I never downloaded it. Recently Depakote hit me up on Twitter when I was on the Producers I Know account and it turns out that this is, in fact, his beat tape. My bad, don’t sleep!

Detroit producer Black Bethoven who’s best known for his work with Nametag has just dropped his second instrumental project named “Lightyears”. There is some serious heat on this jawn and cats need to make it point to not sleep on it. 21 tracks to nod your head to. You’ve been warned…
One.
More hot shit from HAZ SOLO x 0hbliv. This jawn features the Milwaukee emcee Bandana. HAZ & Bandana both spit bars over a ridiculoid 0hbliv blap and it’s called “Learn It”. Get you some. DON’T SLEEP!
One.

Apathy’s highly anticipated project “Honkey Kong” (which is finally available for purchase via Dirty Version Records today) can be copped right now via iTunes, UGHH, Fat Beats, Amazon and wherever else Hip Hop CD’s & vinyl are sold. Features include Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks) Ill Bill, Slaine, Celph Titled (Demigodz), Xzibit, Blacastan, Action Bronson, Steele (Smif N’ Wessun), Mad Lion, Esoteric, Reef The Lost Cauze, Outerspace, Motive, Tosha Makia & Brevi.
Production on “Honkey Kong” is handled by Apathy, DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, Da Beatminerz, Evidence, Khrysis!, Statik Selektah, Teddy Roxpin, DJ Wayne Ski, Smoke The World, Stu Bangas & Vanderslice (Brutal Music). This album lives up to all the expectations heads had for it (which is saying a lot). Support quality Hip Hop when it drops. DON’T SLEEP!
One.
Oddisee’s brand new Mello Music Group LP “Rock Creek Park” evokes memories of Oddisee’s material with the trio Ave.To from back in 2008 and it’s a continuation of much of the soulful production aesthetic involving live instrumentation (salute to the homies Jon Laine & Ralph Real) you can hear all over his previous release “Odd Seasons”. I recommend that you all cop this album as it’s dropped exclusively on iTunes today (August 23rd) for only $7.99 but it goes on sale everywhere else (Amazon, Fat Beats, UGHH & Bandcamp) on September 6th, 2011. Don’t sleep on “Rock Creek Park”. DON’T DO IT.
One.
European producers/beatmakers Abby Lee Tee & feux collaborate on an ethereal reconstruction/reconfiguration of Eddie Kendricks’ classic song “Keep On Truckin'”. Don’t sleep…
One.
Here’s a 60 minute Mixcloud beat mix from Japanese producer/beatmaker Ichiro_ which dropped recently on the Error Brodacast Mixcloud account site called “Zansho”. I’m curious to see if it actually embeds here or not since Vimeo nor official.fm seem to do so. Aaaaand, it DIDN’T. If you want to hear “Zansho” then click the provided Mixcloud link. Don’t sleep!

Via The Soul Dojo comes the long awaited instrumental project from Scrabble “Mental Space” which you can now check out on Bandcamp. Don’t sleep on this jawn, people…

Sango (or Sangobeats)’s latest beat tape just dropped a few days. It’s essentially a collection of 13 blaps dedicated to his mother Tracey. “Also Tracey” is full of some nice atmospheric beats and ill chops. Do yourself a favor and don’t sleep on it…
One.
This 14 beat project “Choses d’ete” is reminiscent of Nvthlss’ previous release “Nvthlss” which I posted on this site just three weeks ago. Don’t sleep on it…

Last week, Lunice dropped his impressive EP “One Hunned” on LuckyMe Records. It spans 8 tracks including 2 outside remixes for what will open several eyes of cats that are currently sleeping on him. Below in the 5 minute long EP sampler in addition to links to audio of the single “Guardian” and the video for the banging “Glow” which I can’t embed for whatever reason. Cop it from iTunes, Amazon, Boomkat and Rush Hour. Don’t sleep!

Sure the cover art looks like a character design to the “Fantastic Planet” sequel but the long awaited One Handed Music release “Rapping With Paul White”is finally available for streaming and purchase. Paul White (“The Strange Dreams Of Paul White”, “Sounds From The Skylight” & “Paul White & The Purple Brain”) has remained a consistent figure over the past 4 years. Whether it was his vinyl singles or his full length releases, everything he’s dropped has been a heat rock.”Rapping With Paul White” is no different.
From the off kilter, bugged out compositions to his rawest slaps (i.e. “The Punch Drummer”) Paul White has run the gauntlet. After hearing the Guilty Simpson collaboration “Ancient Treasure” a while back, I often wondered what an entire album of vocalists over Paul White beats would sound like. I don’t need to wonder anymore. You heard his slaps on Danny Brown’s “XXX”?
“Rapping With Paul White” is a full length project featuring bars and vocals from Guilty Simpson, Marv Won, Danny Brown, Moe Pope, Homeboy Sandman, Jehst, Tranqill & Nancy Elizabeth via One Handed Music. Salute Alex Chase. DON’T SLEEP!

Experimental beat culture producer/beatmaker Shlohmo (spell it right or else you’ll be listening to that beatboxer guy instead) just released a new project with Tall Corn Music titled “Bad Vibes”. If this isn’t your type of thing I can understand that…
