DON’T SLEEP: Schadillac “Admiral EP” [BEAT TAPE]

I’m not a huge David Robinson fan because I’m from Boston and his injury prevented the Celtics from getting Tim Duncan and another good player in the 1997 NBA Draft (we got Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer instead, traded Chauncey after only 51 games and Ron Mercer didn’t get resigned) but I know a good beat tape when I hear one. I should’ve posted this jawn up yesterday but better late then never. Also, since Bandcamper took away the Genres and Browse features it’s essentially useless since the Search option sucks (look for “Knxwledge” on Bandcamper and see what happens). Don’t sleep on the “Admiral EP”…
