DON’T SLEEP: Ballantyne & Sneak-E “Beattape 2012” [BEAT TAPE]
I was sent this beat tape via the good people over @ BeatBakkers but I HATE getting beat tapes with just download links. I have to download it and commit to using valuable hard drive space rather than streaming it first. In the end it made on here a few days late. In the future, folks? Give us listeners & potential downloaders the option. Why? Because if this jawn was less than dope we’d NEVER download another beat tape of yours again while we MIGHT peruse a second stream. Be smart. Download Ballantyne & Sneak-E’s “Beattape 2012”…
