Crate Kings 3: Homage To A Misspent Youth



A third mixtape of original instrumentals (a "beatstrumental"?) has been issued by members of the Crate Kings forums. Samples came from music and sounds associated with wasting time when you were a kid: tv themes and movie themes, video game soundtracks, cartoon intros, etc. 17 beatmakesters came up with 28 dope beats , guaranteed to tug your nostalgic heartstrings. Downstroke made the cover art. That's Xtra-K sporting the MPC.
