Harlem, New York producer/emcee 88-Keys has announced that he will release 88-Keys Presents…Locksmith Music on December 1. The producer for Jay-Z & Kanye West, Black Star and Diamond D’s free project will feature original production from D.I.T.C. member Buckwild, along with vocal appearances by Nemo Achida, Lil Vic and Mann95. Locksmith Music will be mixed by DJ Dras79.
88 explained to HipHopDX the concept behind the release, “This mixtape is comprised of my artists work before they signed to [Locksmith], so the only production of my own are the intro, intermission and outro.” The man who released Death of Adam in 2009 will also host the tape.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1. “NutraSweet Noise” (Intro) by 88-Keys – prod. by 88-Keys
14. “English Muffins” (Outro) by 88-Keys – prod. by 88-Keys additional bass by Mike L. LaValle
I’ll look for that.
He’s one of the most underrated producers in the game, should be a nice release
death of adam is one underappreciated album…most cats dont even know who 88 keys is sad!
The only thing that would’ve compelled me to peep this was if 88 laced this tape with beats… he didn’t – so I won’t.
