My first body of cohesive work. This beat tape was produced and arranged between March and August of 2022. All beats on this tape were created with my SP-404 SX and SP-404 MK2. Many of the beats on this tape draw inspiration from J. Dilla, Nujabes, Madlib, MF DOOM, and Odd Future. Albums such as Modal Soul, Medicine Show #5, Dilla's Delights, Doomsday, and Bastard were in constant rotation in the months that the tape was being made. This tape is visually inspired by cartoons such as Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai, and Adult Swim subculture in its entirety. Though this tape was created in only a few short months, this tape symbolizes nearly 5 years of finding my own sound and inspirational base. Listen to this tape in a place and time of day that you feel happiest. A special thanks to Joe, Julian, Trent, Dean, and Allison.
