Beat tapes have and continue to serve as something of an audible résumé for many aspiring and up-and-coming producers. Sites like Bandcamp and Soundcloud enable artists to showcase their work to a vast audience and on the flip-side expose listeners to a wide array of music from well-established artists to aspiring bedroom producers and everyone else in between. West Coast beatsmith Suhnraw's latest beat tape 4U is a testament to the power of online music stores like Bandcamp. After a thorough listen, 4U is clearly the work of a diligent crate digger. The tape is packed full of soulful sample-based production with a crisp and well polished vintage sound. Follow the link below to head over to Suhnraw's Bandcamp page where the tape is available for free or donation.
