DJ Babu - The Beat Tape Vol. 2

A world famous champion DJ, with active memberships in Dilated Peoples and Beat Junkies among his most notable accomplishments, DJ Babu has marked out an impressive career over the last decade and more. The Los Angeles based turntablist also stands as one of underground rap's fastest-rising producers. In 2007 Babu released ‘The Beat Tape Vol. 1’, an instrumental album of the beatsmith's soulful yet hard hitting compositions. In 2008, he released the critically acclaimed ‘Duck Season Vol. 3’, a self-produced album that boasted tracks from MCs across the globe. Both albums were well received with press including the likes of XXL, The Source, and Allhiphop.com. Now, DJ Babu, The Dilated Junkie, comes forth with his instrumental follow up, ‘The Beat Tape Vol. 2’. As he explains; "There was no holding back with this album, I wanted to get the beats out no matter what, to give my fans a fresh body of music. My mission with these instrumentals is to put some doubters to rest. I want people to know my sound, all my beats come from a DJ mentality, so ‘The Beat Tape Vol. 2’ is a great outlet for me to showcase my production. A lot of the DJs I looked up to became great producers, from Dr. Dre, to DJ Premier, to Pete Rock. In a lot of ways, I'm trying to carry that same torch”.
