DJ Primate (2k12) Yugo (iNstrumental Hip-Hop)
An El Paso, texan Resident . . . . 17yrs old.
Much like the car the album is named after, this tape is short, rough,
and unpolished, but it gets the job done. This album is made up of demos
that I've made over the past few months that were actually listenable. I
planned to make it this nice big album, but what the hell, this is good
enough. I like it.
P.S. If you can name all the (main) samples used in this EP, you'll get an internet high-five because I've lost the original artwork I was originally going to give out. Sorry.

DarkerThanWax: NegiumBeats (2k13) Sweet Life
NEGUIMBEATS - SWEET LIFE EP
CAT NO : DTW 22
NeguimBeats is the latest contribution to the constant paradigm shifts in the movement of Brazil – though "Sweet Life" is devoid of the booming favela funk influence, especially pivotal in the current wave of electronic music. In place is a palatial sonic platter of impeccable arrangements. Typical sounds are tastefully woven together, resulting in an incredibly emotive and ambient soundscape. Shaking off expectations of the tropical, South American percussion based samples, he tastefully relives the omnipresent nostalgia of jazz - blithe stabs of keys and notes resonating with earthy, full-bodied snares, as he does in "Smooth Ambient" and "Life in Abundance". Everything falls into its right place as "Jazz" (featuring Kolombiano) hits the cans, with flowing anamorphic sounds and melancholic reverb of piano keys, exuding a keen sense of longing, ending with the illuminating "Space Traveller", capturing the calming, cosmic ambience. Neguim Beats evokes an innate connection with the listener, fast becoming an anomaly in the relationship between artistes and fans – a vital connection we thrive on at DTW.

!llmind (Aug 2013) !.B.F.K.W. (!llmind Beats For Kanye West) EP
Been a Fan of this Man for a Long time, ever since hearin of WaxReform back in 05 / 06'ish; been hooked ever since. Here is A collection of beats created for Kanye West . . . . . iNstrumentals.
14KT (Aug. 2013) Nickel'N'Dimed
14KT laces together 14 instrumentals + 1 song with an incomparable ear
for flipping samples, and his signature boom-bap, off-kilter drum
programming and spacey synths. Then he enlists a handful of his favorite
artists for a vocal encore (including Blu, Black Milk and MED) +
appearances by Detroit's own JMSN on the summer cruiser Slo Swerve (also
featuring Jamall Bufford) and Cali's Kokane (along with MED) on the new
west coast anthem "W.C.E.F." 14KT even steps up to the microphone
himself on "Five & Ten" to paint a picture of his take on the
phrase, “Nickel & Dimed."
Kendall Tucker, aka 14KT, 1/7 of
Michigan’s mighty hip-hop group Athletic Mic League, released his debut
solo LP "The Golden Hour [Soundtrack]" in 2008 after a rich history with
AML. Despite being an instrumental album, The Golden Hour appeared on
many year-end “top albums” lists. Okayplayer said “this is the sort of
striking project that can single-handedly create an artists following.”
And so it did.
14KT has since released four solo albums, and is preparing his new instrumental album "Nickel & Dimed" for an August 27th release on Mello Music Group. From the lean soaked swerve to flamboyant west coast Errol Flynnin', the soulful synths and hard hitting drums drive KT's most eclectic project to date.

Oh-No (2013) vs. Now-Again Two
(copied from Webpage) Oh No’s debut album for Now-Again Records
was also the first in Now-Again’s “music library” series, one of the
label’s most successful exercises in creating modern “library music” for
easy synchronization for film and TV. It also stood alone as an
instrumental album for this lauded producer.
For this entry, the seventh
Now-Again Music Library, Oh No combs through a now-much-more-vast
catalog from American soul, funk and jazz to Iranian folk to Zambian
hard rock. Fans of the variety of projects that Oh No is a part – from
his Gangrene project with Alchemist to his production for the likes of
Talib Kweli and Danny Brown – will be pleased with the variety of beats
contained within.
This album is 19 tracks,
running 40 minutes. As with all of Now-Again’s library releases, comes
as a limited edition is CD is packaged in a “mini-LP” thick cardboard
“tip-on” sleeve and is only available digitally at Now-Again’s
subscription service at http://drip.fm/nowagain
