Wow. This is what happens when you have a demo fiend like K Funk, and an acclaimed radio show host/dj like Kevin Beacham, on the same forum. Exclusive demo mixtape anybody?! I can absolutely co-sign that this is a great listen all the way through and will be looked back on as a classic mixtape to many people.
Personally, I love demos and this should not fall short of any of your expectations if you feel the same. Everything is in the best available quality. No radio rips or skips or pops anywhere in sight.
*In case you were wondering, this Kool Keith cut was actually released on that Unreleased Sex Style Archives in 2009. You can cop that here.
Kev Beacham would like to shout out the following:
Alyssa Nikole, Tina & all her family, Quincy, Mom & Dad, Tif, Chris, Mikey (stay strong!),
Tif, Leon, Messiah, Ari, The Gashs, The Beachams, The Current & Redef Radio Listeners,
K Funk, Philaflava, Boogs (for the Dilla quote), J Pratt, Surge Hands Of Time, Aaron Low
Budget, RSE, IPR, all the artists who have sent me demos over the years and everyone
who listens and enjoys!

Thanks for checking in, Kev. And thanks for the great concept mixtape and back story on it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I misspoke about the quality of the
recordings here. I just enjoy the demo sounds so much that the quality sounds just great to me.
Definitely a great mix that I will revisit often years from now.
Good shit, my man.
