Gadget sits down with Backpack Theory’s J. Scienide, an emcee/producer that will drop his debut EP “The Actual Heat” later this Summer on Backpack Theory. J. Scienide plays some of his works in progress and does work on his trusty ASR-X (to become only the other cat besides Fakts One to rock one between either me or Gadget’s videos). Enjoy this and don’t sleep on J. Scienide or Backpack Theory.

It apparently hit Hip Hop Bootleggers yesterday and has made the rounds to all the beat tape blogs today. I had it queued up to post this afternoon but I let the house. Here it is. Don’t sleep on it…

The homie Gadget of Digital Hustle Films and The Beat Tape Project had the misfortune of losing his father not too long ago. What ended up happening was he inherited his father’s rather impressive record collection that consisted of a bunch of great 45’s. Let’s watch Gadget as he drops the needle on some of the jawns, shall we? Be on the lookout for the Backpack Theory label as well. Don’t sleep…

If you actually copped the Louis Den “Behind Closed Doors Vol. 3” DVD like I told you to do a million times via my PIK Twitter account and this site you would’ve seen this already. This is a perfect promo for House Shoes new album “Let It Go” dropping June 19th, 2012 on Tres Records. Cop it!

I caught this DJ Kiyo instrumental project consisting of beats that were once remixes (that I’d never heard before) in the comments box of Strictly Beats. I gave it a listen (I don’t sleep, remember?) and after I was done it landed right here on Producers I Know. Also the interesting thing is DJ Kiyo’s “Bootleggin’ (Remixes)” instrumental collection is 15 hot beats for only ¥300 (that’s slightly less than $4 USD). You can’t beat that with a bat! © Dres The Black Sheep. Don’t sleep…

When I saw Frod & T-Dredz at the last JASS event I asked them what was up and Froderick told me that there was something in the works. When I told T-Dredz I needed another beat tape from him on Instagram the next day he said one was on the way. I JUST saw a picture of a split Sir Froderick/T-Dredz physical beat tape on Instagram a few minutes ago then my iPhone 3GS goes off. It’s an email from Froderick with these links. There is a physical split Sir Froderick/T-Dredz beat tape and only 24 have been produced but you can cop both digitally via Bandcamp. “MyNiGGAzEP” and “Sk8_bored” are both dope, I need to visit The Dunngeon one of these damb days. Don’t sleep…

The legendary K-Def just took a Seven Shawn acapella of a verse and put it to a beat then uploaded it to SoundCloud. It;s pretty dope, it even sounds like he rhymed to the beat initially. Don’t sleep on it…

First off, I’m not the biggest fan of Childish Gambino. However, I do like this remix. Nubbz sent this remix to me three different times before I actually listened to it. Now I’m posting it. He thought the email got lost, I bet. It didn’t. I was just being a jerk but I’m all better now. Still don’t care for Childish Gambino that much. He looks a lot like that comedian/actor guy Donald Glover, doesn’t he?
