!llmind – THROWBLAPS! Vol. 1 [Mixtape]
“As promised, here is the infamous ‘THROWBLAPS’ compilation. I had this idea a long time ago, but was always reluctant to put it out. I’ve got more than 3,000 beats I made over several years, on several hard drives. I knew most of them will probably never see the light of day, until now! This edition is a collection of random beats I made between the years 2000 and 2002. It was an exciting time for me because I had ZERO placements, I had JUST copped an Ensoniq ASR-10 keyboard, and I was making, like, 10 beats a day. It was crazy. I was still pretty wet behind the ears, and after hearing it, you will notice the heavy J Dilla influence (R.I.P.).” Download: !llmind – THROWBLAPS! Vol. 1 Tracklist: 01. Look Of Love Revisited 02. The Wonder 03. Amazing 04. Heartbreaker 05. Johnny Porter 06. Lightning 07. Wesside 08. Hurt You 09. Stay Strong 10. Midnight Rockin
