Wow, this is my inaugural post on this here blog. I’ll be dropping a truckload of stuff sometime early next week, when I’ve got all the stuff together.
As for write-ups, on this blog I’ll keep it strictly instrumental: No talking, I’ll just let the music speak for itself.

Be a good sport and buy the odd record. These cats need to eat, too.
Now enjoy.

What’s up Strictly Beats Fam… Nawledge writing and this is my first post here. I’m sure all of you are familiar with The Molemen so they don’t need an introduction, but I’m hoping that everybody’s not too familiar with this record. The Soundtrack To The Underground was released in 1999 and includes tracks from all members. It even features a few tracks from former member Mixx Massacre. Anyway, there’s a few skips in a few tracks, it’s not too bad, the LP isn’t in the best condition, so sorry for that. I recommend checking this out, PNS’s beats are the best on here I’d say, but I’ll leave that up to you… Peace.

After seeing a lot of heads interested in instrumental albums over at Twelve Inchers, I (along with some others) realized that an archive dedicated to hip-hop instrumentals would be extremely useful. Since we’re all short on time it seems, the easiest way to go about it is clearly through Blogger.

The contributers to this site will obviously do their best to keep things moving, but ultimately, this site’s purpose is to serve as an archive…which means it’s all of ours, hopefully. If you’ve got an instrumental EP/LP that hasn’t been upped (or has been upped to another blog), drop a link in the C-box; if you’ve got a grip of them, join as a contributer. All ya gotta do is ask, this isn’t an exclusive club.

Support dope production…
