## BULLETPROOF CRATES RECORDINGS PRESENT

DJ SHEEP'S WINTER BLUNTZ: BLUNT ONE
Recorded: 3rd July 2014

After spending hours in my own crates due to this forthcoming sale, I got inspired, hopped on the decks and rocked a live 90 minute mix of soul, funk, library, jazz, disco, hip-hop, etc. There's joints and genres from all around the world. I went hard (pause) on the doubles at some points, and there's some instrumental/acapella blends up there too… 

This was an spur of the moment practice session that was never to be given to the public, just to listen to later for ideas… no playlists, no preparation… A few mates enjoyed it whom I sent it to and prompted me to get it out there… Please excuse all the sloppy mixes, cuts, etc. I wanted to keep it raw like the mixes of the 90's… feedback is appreciated.

Peace. DJ Sheep

RESPECT to the break mix originators: Phil "Soulman" Stroman, Silverchild & MSA, Jake One, DJ Muro, Kon & Amir, DJ Shame, Paul Nice, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.

KELLEN DE VOS - GRAND SLAM

Echoes of Pain & Glory is a 12-track journey through heartbreak, resilience, and redemption — blending the raw storytelling of rap with the soulful melodies of gospel and R&B. Each track feels like a diary entry, heavy with scars yet lifted by faith. The production is built on piano chords, guitar riffs, deep 808s, and atmospheric pads, with gospel choirs swelling throughout.

Listeners are pulled into a world of late-night confessions, letters never sent, prayers from mama, and storms that never seem to fade. Yet beneath the weight of pain lies a message of survival — a reminder that even in the darkest nights, the soul can still rise.

This project sits in the lane of Rod Wave, Morray, and Toosii, but carries its own fingerprint: raw emotion turned into cinematic soundscapes, pain turned into power, and brokenness rebuilt into glory.
