organic rearrangement tapes

huck boles: organic rearrangement tapes - instrumental hip hop [2022]

this ep is a collection of hip-hop beats i made during the second half of 2022. consisting of heavily chopped and edited samples from other recorded music. this is a pretty sharp departure from my previous works, but i’ve always really enjoyed hip-hop from an instrumental prospective, and this album is an homage to some of my favorite producers, but with my own twist on everything.

it exists as a glimpse into the vast array of music that has influenced me and widened my perspective. i found it incredibly satisfying to work with songs that i’d known my whole life, and using them as building blocks for my own music really helped me appreciate them with a new lens.
