4. All beat tapes in the series are made as stand alone albums, but I also encourage rappers and song-writers to record to them.

5. Benny James, who is speaking on the intro is an actor I met from Las Vegas.  If you look closely on my video for the song “Curry Lipz” he is an extra.

6. This as well as my 2nd beat tape “Money” has more of a focus on beats you can actually rap over.

7. “I Got Mine” is me singing a line from The Black Keys album “Attack & Release.”  I couldn’t get the lyric out of my head so I decided to put it in the song.
