Tape2

A four-track hip-hop beat tape built as a collection of beats meant to stand on their own as compositions. Rooted in an underground hip-hop sensibility, the tape explores heavy drums, low-slung grooves, smoky textures, and the use of space across four distinct tracks. While each beat has its own character, they are connected through a strong focus on beatmaking itself-sampling, drums, bass, texture, and the placement of sound. These tracks are not simply instrumentals waiting for vocals. They are pieces designed to be heard and experienced as beats in their own right. Whether listened to through headphones, played while moving through the city, or simply left on in the background, this beat tape is a collection of sounds built around the timeless idea of letting the beat speak for itself.
