“Straight up…this is that raw ish. Slaps. Face Twisters. Hard beats. All these joints were made in a span of 08’-11’. It all started when I first got into the Red Bull Beat Battle in Detroit end of 08’. I was never known as a beat battle type producer and believe it or not, I actually don’t like battling with beats. However, that was my first time ever battling with beats. Knowing I was battling, I definitely found myself in a different frame of mind when I sat down to make joints in the lab. While in the lab, my motivation was making beats that I would have HATED if my opponent played them against me. I took a collection of beats where I had that mind state and mixed them with other beats I made during that time period. I’m setting this Killer Tape off with the first joint I ever made in a beat battle mind state and the rest is history. I got a new nickname under my belt now, 14KillaTape…haha” – 14KT

Weeks later, links with remixes to download invaded our mailbox and the results were simply astounding! Each artist has brought his own distinctive tone, his musical perception and, most importantly, his creativity and production skills.
Listen to the downbeat gypsy soul in Palov’s version, the enigmatic dubstep mix by Ekelon, Kill Emil’s hip hop melancholy and the kaleidoscopic reggae feel in BNC’s remix. Then again, the drum n bass frenzy of Turntable Dubbers and ragga fused jungle by the infamous Illbred Bazin is followed by the darker side of hip hop, the mpc duo, Jmelik & Billa Qause and the murky ways of Gary Poter.
