MORPHEGROUND
Being a big fan of electronica, this album caught my attention. Give it some hip-hop undertones, and I'm immediately sold. Flow Worthy!

STILL PHILOSOPHY & QMAN1
I am really starting to dig Qman1's work, might have to do some more digging on him later. In the meantime, y'all enjoy this album. Great experimental vibes, a little less hip hop then you'd want, but still, a very good album. Flow Worthy!

CAV3
Slightly off-kilter symphonies, wonky and progressive, boom bap and space. Definitely an album I was yearning to find on bandcamp. Give it up for Cav3, giving us the a hefty portion of experimental goodness. Flow Worthy!
DEUCIFER
Liked the beat, grab the whole album if you want, I didn't, but thats only because there are so much vocals. I've posted a lot of things with vocals lately, looks like its time to stop digging on bandcamp for awhile. Nevertheless, Flow Worthy!
REGGIE B
Smooth, definitely digging this single from the upcoming album, "The Traveler". Flow Worthy!
BITTER BEET
Long weekend, still a little tired. Found a group that seemed pretty interesting today. Dj House shoes, Guilty Simpson and MC Kadence make appearances on the album. Great Hip-Hop. Visit this link to download three albums after you have previewed them. There is a tape by producer/MC named tenacity, another is a trio of producers that have collaborated to create the tape you see above. The final is another producer/MC named Ares who drops another tape as well. Flow Worthy!

NEFARIOUS!
Old but still good, this is for the peeps who haven't grabbed it yet. Flow Worthy! Download Here for some reason he didn't make it down-loadable off of bandcamp.
SELF SAYS
Devonwho, Samiyam, Knowledge, JackHigh! Don't forget the MC, but the producers, oh my! Flow Worthy!
ERIK L & ILLINGSWORTH
Throwing down a hot single straight off "Northern Connection", a great album worth the 10$. Flow Worthy!
BLACK MILK
It's Black Milk, you know him, I know him, we both know how good of a producer he is. Flow Worthy!
DECA ONE
Download it, don't make me say it again. This tape comes from Deca One, a producer thats been catching my attention lately and quickly surfacing around the net. Computer soul gives you a dilla-esque vibe with digital doggedness detrimentally deciphered by deranged synths and various other sounds. Flow Worthy!
VINTAGE NOIZE
One of my favorite beats from producer 14KT. Vintage Noize lays down a couple lyrics for the track. Flow Worthy!
THE UGH
I didn't know what to think at first, but, I downloaded his album and had my speakers bumping for a solid hour. Those two tracks on bandcamp are dope. If you dig it, follow this Download Link for the full 20 track album download. The Ugh brings an intended gritty distorted set of songs that have definitely found there way onto our blog. Flow Worthy!
BEATS BY REECE
Reece's two pieces on this album are great to listen to. A lot of die hard Dilla fans think anyone who takes samples from the Dillaoriginals that the producer is garbage. I advocate Dilla samples all day, you gotta love it when people have there own take of how some of Dillas work could sound. Sometimes they just raise the drums and hats, interesting how some people view it as blasphemy. Flow Worthy!

SCIENZE
Can't believe I just found this if anyone has already heard it. All you need to know is that its Dilla's production with new MC Scienze rhyming, nuff said. Flow Worthy!

DERT FLOYD
Dert comes out with another artist themed beat tape entitled Dert Floyd, inspired by Pink Floyd. This album sends you on a perilous journey through the years when Pink Floyd rained supreme and tight pants were all the rage. This is a great album showcasing samples from many of Pink Floyds critically acclaimed songs. Each track is untitled, but leaves a great mystery to the listener, and allows them to figure out which legenday song Dert is sampling from. Flow Worthy!
Download Here
STONE DETECTIVES
The Mc's are the heroes, the beats are sweet, grab the damn download, your in for a treat. Flow Worthy!
FALL STAR
This is a track I liked off of Fall Stars album "Midnight Special",, it sounded pretty ill. Check out some of his other songs and even download the whole album on Bandcamp if you want. Flow Worthy!
PLANET? & QMAN1
It must be experimental day here at Flow Worthy, all good though, definitely feeling these vibes. Surely fans of flying lotus, I think this tape gives you an idea of where there inspiration came from. I'm feeling a prefuse73 vibe with some flying lotus interlaced throughout. Flow Worthy!
THE ABSTRACT ONE
As I'm writing this and listening to The Abstract One, I get a sudden nostalgic pulse from my speakers. Grimy like Samiyam and Mr. Dibiase, but still retains his own originality. The Abstract One gives it to you from the confines of a plastic cover cartridge containing confluent cosmic compositions carefully calculated for the ultimate ear melting experience. Flow Worthy!
PROVIDE SOUL
There is quite a few people who contributed to this album, peep the bandcamp for more details. All and all, a great lounge album. Something to sit and vibe to. Flow Worthy! By the way, it's not the DJ Drama you are thinking of you when you hear the album, the way this cat spells it is DJ Jrama.
THIS IS TOMORROW
I'm not one for posting singles (unless there good) so this ones an exception. Someone you need to keep your ears open for. Checkout his other track on band camp "On The Hill", a tribute to Andrew Hill. Also spend some time on his Blog, great sounds coming out of there. Flow Worthy!
SHANO
Some gems on this album, some I'm not really feeling. Check out "Linden Street", one of my favorites. Flow Worthy!
NEW TRACK FROM STEVO
Stevo getting synth-happy. This track doesn't hold back, the combination of snares, kicks, and synths, creates a harmonic equilibrium. This beat seems light years ahead of it's time, we have to go back to the future. Flow Worthy!

LENNON
I like the Boom-Bap sound, Lennon delivers the goods, snaretastic, clean, original, what more could you want from a beat tape. Flow Worthy!
TOMCAT
A single remixed from Slum Villages "Look of Love", by Tomcat, I was feeling it. Flow Worthy!
TOPE=DOPE
Tope is the producer, dope are the beats, it's not often that I will post beat tapes that aren't down-loadable. Tope Beats is going to have to be an exception. Sorry ya'll, Tope is trying to get paid, don't blame him. Don't miss out though, take a good long listen, you don't have to own everything. Flow Worthy!
PROSPECT
I usually don't like the little "This beat is by" annotations you hear in songs, i'll let this one slide cause I like some of the beats. I wasn't sure if I should post this, the beats are originals everyone has heard before, understandably they never get old, of course. You know what, Flow Worthy!
NONEPIC
Real ambient beats, some retain a hip-hop persona, while others drift off into a hazy, dreary, mystical rabbit hole. Surely the mad hatter will be pleased to see you. Flow Worthy!
LAKIM
Another great from bandcamp, Lakim holds it down. This beat tape sends you on a journey to the west-side cosmos where the extraterrestrials who inhabit it, know how to keep it real. Flow Worthy!
IVAN ICE
1. Intro
2. Childsplay
3. Breakbeat
4. The African
5. Reform
6. Barbershop
7. Plaja
8. Sunny Moon
9. Lidle
10. Thinkin About MJ
11. Ivanhouse
12. Thinkin About Jay Dee
13. Back to the Ghetto you go
Using a minimal amount of materials, Ivan Ice blesses us with some great vibes reminiscent of Madlib with his own flavorful beat composure. Flow Worthy!

THE BUTTERFLY RETURN
The Butterfly Return by kronika
This is a great mix by Kronika 11:11, laid back and soulful, just the way we like it. Peep her "Nothing But Butter Mix", over at the Sticky Sugar Shack Blog.

THE FRESH VILLAGE
Kronika 11:11 reminded me of The Fresh Villages other album "Go IVth", this track was one of her favorites on the album. Flow Worthy!
TEK NALO G
This is one of the many tracks that caught my attention. Tek Nalo G has a flow of his own. If you like this joint, cop some others, and feel free to send a little bit of paper green love his way on bandcamp. Flow Worthy!
IVAN ICE + EMAY
Download this now, don't even play the tracks, download it!! This is a crazy collab with Ivan Ice's sick production skills and the sublime flows of Emay. Flow Worthy!
X-One
Seems like I've been raiding bandcamp a lot, gotta love that site. Here's a producer I felt deserved some recognition, "Saturday Night" caught my attention on this album. Flow Worthy!
SYKLIK
It's mind numbing how many albums I've found today that have been enjoyable. Syklik doesn't disappoint with this joint, splifftastic and Flow Worthy!
OCTOPUS JONES
Courtesy of Positive Soul Movement for unearthing another great album to vibe too. KhrisPkream of the Kream Team produced all these tracks, giving us samples of flamboyant yet unrefined tracks of bliss, laced with boom bap. A good distinction of style would be closely related with an infusion of Pharrell and The Cool Kids. Flow Worthy.
STYLE MISIA
Blessing us with some West-Coast Flavor, Style Misia brings us a 22 track compilation of vibes old and new. Flow Worthy!
THE FRESH VILLAGE
One of my favorite bandcamp tapes I did some digging for. The fresh village grabs some nostalgia and originality, sprinkles some soul essence on top, and gives you a nice helping of Donuts for Dilla. Flow Worthy!
KDK-KADAJ DA KID
Kadaj hooks Flow Worthy up with some funky boom-bap electronics. If you love good original music, Kadaj will hook you up, peep the bandcamp for earlier works. Flow Worthy!
D/WILL
It may be vocals, but there good, the music production is solid, big ups to D/WILL, keeping hip-hop alive. Flow Worthy!
AYIRO
Ayiro (Pronounced "Arrow") pops off with "Emerald", a free album comprising of 33 tantalizing tracks from his "Gems Series". Flow Worthy!
MAN MANTIS
Man Mantis greets you with an unkempt composure, consistent compositions calibrated to complete a class act concoction. Flow Worthy!
BAXTER
BAXTER slaps a slurry sauce of samples that should be more then sufficient for your daily beat-cravings. Flow Worthy!
PROFESSA
Giving you a serving size full of musical compositions, Professa plasters a plethora of platonic pieces purposed for your pleasure. Flow Worthy!
COFFEE HOUSE SWINGER
Smooth soul for the educated, Boho Fau and Elevated Soul bring you a cool crisp collab vanilla swirl of beats and vocals. Download the entire album and get the instrumentals as well. Surely flow worthy.
