Like kicking back and indulging in your favorite drink, this serving of underground Hip Hop sound is sure to get you intoxicated like the liquor. Enjoy a set of The Beatnuts' instrumental releases uploaded by a few crate diggers. When I thought of this post, I recalled the days I found each of these instrumental LPs while digging in NYC record stores. It was a delight to discover each, and I'm hoping you feel the same if you haven't heard the instrumentals of these classic Hip Hop albums already.

Take a dip in the vault of The World Famous Beatnuts as Psycho Les & V.I.C. give it to you raw in instrumental form. The Intoxicated Demon sound is in full form on these two projects, displaying the gritty sonics that this group is well known for. 

Listening to the snippets of each project takes me back to the early 90's and the musical identity of their debut EP. You can hear some of the same sounds they used back then but flipped in a different way. So press play and enjoy a hit of this Hip Hop intoxicant served up digitally and on cassette via Bandcamp. Below is a flashback to one of my earliest video uploads: a sit-down with JuJu, Fashion and Les in '93.

Big up yourself one time as the celebratory chant of Juju, Les and Fashion instills confidence on the Sebi remix of "Props Over Here". In 2024, this sound reminds us of the greatness of '94 and aspects of beats and rhymes that made us addicts. Now available digitally here at Bandcamp.
