[Beat Tape] OnGaud: "GaudWork Vol. 1"
The OnGaud production team has become a staple crew in Chicago after making great records alongside some of the city's most promising emcees in 2013. Naturally, the next move for the trio was to put out a beat 'tape showcasing their range as musicians with eight fantastic tracks, all brand new.
The project is definitely meant to be played in a chill environment and perfect to vibe out to through speakers. The whole 'tape is worth a download and multiple listens, but my three favorite joints hands-down have to be "Intro", "New Generation" & "Smoove Like Butta" featuring Nico Segal.
SolarFive: "No Love" (feat. Mick Jenkins) (Prod. by OnGaud)
To be honest, I wasn't all that familiar with SolarFive before hearing his latest record, "No Love". Nevertheless, the Mick Jenkins-assisted joint was a perfect way for me to be introduced to Solar and his music. The smooth instrumental --produced by OnGuad--is the perfect backdrop for the two emerging artists to trade bars while speaking on the lack of love that a lot of people go through in their lives. Solar's SayNoMore 'tape will be released on May 14th 2013.
