Collab with  @hightopbeats  , he drops beats every Monday, very very unique style trust me every week the vibe is completely different, very versatile producer. He also normally plays all his melodies himself which is crazy to me as a sample based producer. For this collab I sent him my flip from the 'Calm Piano' beat off my most recent beat tape, and he then flipped it completely different, chopped up my flip and reversed etc to make it way more chill. He also put this Tribe Called Quest acapella over the beat which I did not expect at all, fits the chill vibe crazy well imo. I think I can say for certain that Tribe are for sure his favourite Hip Hop artist from the 90s, I feel like we'll defo collab on more Tribe remixes in the future. I can never decide if Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders is my favourite album from them, it constantly fluctuates between the two to be honest. All of their albums are full of gems which is crazy, but for me those two have slightly more replay value as full albums. 

We then went back and forth adding drums, working out the arrangement etc, was a dope workflow and will defo be doing this fairly regularly. We've got a lot of collab stuff on the way full stop: Ive got mad lyrics over his beats: once my albums released the next big project will definitely be a full length album where I'm writing over his beats. So excited to share that all I feel like I've been sitting on it way too long.

We did drop a track together last year called New Scapes: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/new-scapes

Loads more on the way hopefully towards the end of this year. 

Peace, thank you for listening!!

[Lyrics]

Booked a flight to the Florida keys
No packed clothes I'm short of tees
Four day trip I don't need more than three
Why shop accordingly I can afford a spree

Push to start disregard car keys
Pleased by palm tress
Front desk informed me of amenities without fees
Use the resort breeze to ash cigar leaves

10k steps a day I'm cooked
Let's see how the neighborhood look
Park the car illegally and stepped away on foot
Being black means I'm cosplaying a crook

Make an advance, connect to locals
Tapered pants, dress loafers
I look famous but let's focus
Ya walls closed I know what could get 'em open

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Flew to Texas South by Southwest
Second time round I sent out texts
It's best they know to expect you
Notified homies made sure my connects knew

Uber eats liquor, ordering fresh food
At the Air BNB doing a check through
Take whatever room y'all wanna keep
I'm living the dream, I ain't going to sleep

Hit the road in a jeep
Got fitted for a cowboy hat, took a flick and the pose elite
At the half step, noticed in record speed
I dap the bartender embraced Bethany

Hit the bar, a lot of liq to sip
I saw Clear Soul, started politicking quick
Triple digit über, or whip the bitch
Who call quits, cancel my lift

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Good anywhere I go
Look high, swear I'm low
Said they ain't see caught staring hard
They don't care about merit in America

Back home, my bread low
Give a fuck had the best time
Crack that Modelo
Live it up in the meantime

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Jacuzzi Loafers [prod. by Momo Ward]

[LYRICS]

My pockets aim to get fat don’t talk game I act 
Rock a stage for a rack posture change when I rap
Shockwave on the map shots aimed at my back
My block game Shaq like cops raided my flat 

Swat attempts to get me ride bench initially
Priorities in order itemize quickly
Slide round to Nipsey 5 buck shades hide sky tint me 
Surprised eyes idolize Balenci 

Wrist game Pluto, Pyrex pot
Visible in the kitchen the whip game pseudo
A doctor know medicine not no flow veteran 
A Wing Chun master get trained in judo
Without blue flame can’t kick like Lui Kang 
Basically what I’m saying to explain is futile

Got it or don’t part of life simply destiny
And won’t come out right perfectly with the recipe 
The best shooters make shots gotta miss eventually
Caged bird say word lettin’ ‘em fly
