SOLEDAD

We are back again with another album by beat maker ‘Mr Johnson Beats’, who had an interesting release last time, so I was curious to see where he’d go this time around!

So this one has 7 tracks with a 16-minute runtime, and I feel compared to the last one, one has a more ‘traditional hip-hop’ soundscape and atmosphere attached.

Across the tracks, you hear elements of -Lo-Fi -Ambient -Traditional Hip Hop -Vocal Samples And he seems to tie all these parts in rather well and makes for a catchy and entertaining listen for the short project that it is.

Unlike the other project, there’s no rapping, just a beat tape with various inspirations and samples that I feel any fan of instrumental tapes should like this one!

We have something darker, like the 5th track, which has what sounds like a distorted moaning person used as the base line for the beat.

Or even the track right after, which has a more ‘classical’ and ‘soul’ feel to the production with those specific uses of vocal samples and the beat itself!

Overall, for 16 minutes, I don’t think you can go wrong with this one; it’s fun, short, and sweet and packed with enough variety to keep you coming back for more!
