FortuneWest: Old Friends EP

/

old friends

Here’s the thing about beat tapes; unless you are an establish producer, most people won’t pay them any attention. Trust me I’ve been there a couple of times (see Grey Skies and The Palette Cleanse). We are in a hip-hop climate where emcees would rather try getting someone’s attention with a freestyle over one of Drake’s countless instrumentals, instead of building relationships with upcoming producers. At the end of the day this is the record business and you should make RECORDS. For those of you who want to head toward the right path, I suggest taking a listen to producer FortuneWest latest creation. His Old Friends EP is a bit different from your everyday hip-hop production and I’m sure a relationship could be built here. Govern yourselves accordingly.

Relax and Listen after the jump.
