Actual Workflow! - Beat Tape Vol. 2 Previews

I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long to start making this blog live up to its name, but... NEWNESS:

Ekundayo - puzzle (draft)



Ekundayo - like we used to be (draft)


I wanted to get Beat Tape Vol. 1 up here first, but I'm having a delay - heavy couple of weeks. Constant work, my computer and pro tools gear breaking, perpetual lack of sleep, money, a steady normal person job, etc.

SO SCREW IT - above are two working versions of beats that are going in my next volume of new stuff that will go out to everyone I work with. They're rough, but I think they show where I'm going. I might throw up more, but I'm holding the secret weapons in reserve till the final release - like the fiery second half of "puzzle", a few wacky remixes, some funny samples, short & sweet beats, everything that makes instrumental hip hop work without the MC.

Don't worry - Vol 1. is still going up some time soon. I played it for some friends over the weekend - even though 6 months is a long time in the evolution of anyone's style, I think I still feel pretty good about those beats. Stay tuned!
