Producer Austin Millz releases his debut instrumental project. This project features a compilation of 16 fresh instrumentals with 1 feature from artist A.P. This tape will serve as a preview of his sound, his vision and to prove to everyone on why respect and hustle in this music industry is Earned, not given. Artwork by Karla Moy.

A couple days ago a friend of mine alerted me that T.I. and Usher had something brewing that would see the light of day pretty soon and Rico just solidified that he in fact crafted the product for the two ATL hitmakers. Will this be THAT record to lead T.I. into 2012? We shall see.

Ahhhh, this is my FAVORITE instrumental project of ALL time. Not only because of the beats from Yeezy, but the interludes make the listening session that much better. Listening to these joints just take me back to the day I found out about Kanye on this MTV segment. I can’t remember the name of it, but I remember sitting in my dorm room at Howard University listening to “Through The Wire” JAMMING like it was the next best thing to H20.
These beats? Pshh, these beats are STILL fire. I mean not all of em are the greatest, but a good 90 percent of these joints I can listen to allllllll fucking day. Fuck that, I’m playing these every morning when I wake up. And you can bet your ASS this is going on the LowTouch. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Enjoy. Sidebar: The original version of “Through The Wire?” Man o man lol! Tracklisting and download link, below!

Ya’ll know the drill, I give you one beat to listen to and if you’re fucking with it you can download the entire product under the hood!

This certainly came out of nowhere. Chuck Inglish (from Chi-Town rap group The Cool Kids) got on the good foot for 2012, loaded up the beat machine and let loose 20 original instrumentals for his new beat tape WRKING. You know how it goes, I post my favorite joint from the tape and if you like you can hit the hood for the rest of the tape.

Singer/Songwriter/Rapper/Producer Kevin McCall let this go via DatPiff a couple days ago. However, one of my followers made me aware of its existence and ya’ll know how I feel about beat tapes anyway. These instrumentals are from Breezy’s previous mixtapes as well as Kevin’s. So if you’ve been following McCall? These should sound familiar. But don’t fret, if you’re not totally familiar with homey, I’m going to give you the hottest beat (not counting “Deuces”, in my opinion, and you can judge from that whether or not the boy has skill. Hit the hood for tracklisiting and download link.
UPDATE: Tons of entries… wow. We’re now closed! Check tomorrow at Noon to see the picks, and to vote.
I was looking around and no one has been offering any outlet to producers lately on mainstream sites. Production is 70% of a song these days, so I figure let’s get some instrumental action on YHTN. Tomorrow we’ll do a New Years beat battle. Here’s the deal:
- Producers of the world submit two (2) of your beats in MP3 format to beats@youheardthatnew.com
- They have to be submitted by Midnight EST on December 29th, 2011 (Today).
- I will listen to all of them (for real I promise) and will pick 5 beats by 5 different producers for the YHTN readership to vote on tomorrow.
- The voting will last all weekend and the winner will be announced at Noon EST on Monday, January 2nd.
- The 1st place winner will get a $25 iTunes or Amazon Giftcard (Winner’s Pick) and automatically get his or her beat placed in the next competition.
- 2nd place will probably get clowned in the comments.
- 3rd place should just be happy to be here.
