Strictly Beats: Louis Logic - Factotum
















I love this beat which Louis Logic used very well to discuss his alcohol problem or problem with not getting enough alcohol.  Either way the production was tight.

Strictly Beats: Thunderball - Scorpio Rising




















There is something real hypnotic about this album including the album cover which is a throwback to the 60's and 70's 007 flicks.  The name rings true too to that effect.  The music reflects this vibe very well as noted in this little gem.

Strictly Beats: Diamond D - Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop




















Which track can I really pick off of this solidly produced album by Diamond D?  Well, the title song for starters.  When I had this track on tape back in the day I could not play it enough and wonder how he could chop up samples like he said he did.  It turns out he really didn't but he did dig in the crates and pull out some great samples.

Strictly Beats: Architect - Rotation 10371/3 Mph




















This track produced by Homeliss Derelix producer Architect is one of my favorite instrumentals.  Pure genius.

Strictly Beats: Dust Brothers (for Beastie Boys) - Car Thief
















The whole Paul's Boutique album is filled with tons of samples carefully put together and this is one of the stand outs to me.  Or it just brings me back riding cross country in a van in 1989 listening to the marble cassette tape.

Strictly Beats: Atmosphere - Sunshine




















Great beat for a great song by Atmosphere.  Even without the thoughtful lyrics, by Slug, the music composed by Ant still stands out on its own.
