Seldom do I hear a beat tape that strikes me like Nhu-Rha’s HeartBeats. Let me just preface this by saying if you like J Dilla, you will definitely dig Nhu-Rha. I’ve heard tons of Dilla tributes, but this one, without even being a Dilla tribute, sounds so much like that 90s Jay Dee sound, it’s unreal. Neo-soul vibes, dirty bass, dusty snares and just straight, raw energy, HeartBeats is the fruition of an ingenious producer with a knack for vintage sound. WARNING: This beat tape will have you seeing the doctor with severe neck pains.
