Hayzee – Next Level beat tape


Along with artists like Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus, Hud’ Mo’ and Afta-1 we’ve been listening to this a fair bit since it dropped. Hayzee’s Next Level beat tape flips sampled electronic sounds to produce really well effectuated beat tape. Just let the track below bump – when the beat drops it all makes sense. Just nod your head!
