Free Psychedelic Beats: Al Lover - Heavy Hippies / Cheapdrugsfreelove

Al Lover's latest beat tape is a mishmash of samples from fuzzy, washed out psychedelic & garage tunes, complemented by heavy heavy beats, making one deep trip of a tape. It's got that Fear & Loathing vibe, tracks'll get you sloshing through a melty jungle of sweaty gambling lizards. TELL ME ABOUT THE GOLF SHOES!!!

Free Beats: Mecca:83 - D A Y B R E A K EP

Manchester beatmaker Mecca:83 released this EP, recorded entirely in 24 hours, to support the mental health organization Mind. Mostly smooth-like-butter boom bap tracks with Dilla-esque choppy vocal samples. A bit of funk & fusion here and there as well. Dig it.
