Jefe's Beats For Days (Take 1)

Going in a different direction with this one. Beats For Days is the hip-hop equivalent to the Free Flying mixes. It features artists such as Jay-Z, The Roots, Nas and more. This is no ordinary hip-hop mix so you wont find any radio hits here. There are plenty of sleepers like "Purple Rain" by J. Cole, "Dancing In The Rain" & "Amnesia" by Blu, and "Let It Fall" by The ILLZ (which has a roots sound). Instrumentals from Mos Def, XV, Pete Rock and Hannibal King is just the start of the beat tapes. Plus lots of soulful samples (check out RJD2 & Saigon) and arguably my favorite Drake track. I had to start it off which one of the best intro's ever, enjoy!
