Matt Shadetek delivered us a stellar rap instrumental for our first compilation series, Mixpak Pressure, and has now let loose this beat he made for NY rapper Le1f, for his mixtape ‘Dark York’. In Matt’s words:
My homie Dead O from clouds gave me a huge stack of underground Memphis rap CDs several years ago when I played in Helsinki with him and the hypnotic darkness really made an impact. This is my love letter to those beats. A big shoutout to Le1f for using it for his tape, as a lifelong New York Rap Guy I’m happy to be included in this new generation of weird rap that’s oozing out of NY right now. I’m calling the genre for this one Emotional Grease.
