New Mixtape: The Custodian of Records – The Sampler Platter

About The Sample Platter:

“Hailing from the muck that is Essex County, New Jerusalem (Home of Reggie Noble, Tame and El, Treach and Vinnie, LOTUG and The O.G Flavor Unit) comes The Custodian of Records. A self pro-claimed minimalist, once raised on the Radio, only began producing due to the mainstream of sewage and boring indie scene… Growing up on the four P’s (ed note: four??!) (Premier, Prince Paul and Extra P) among an almost endless list of other production greats, his journey begin when he was in the 7th grade and his folks bought him the rag tag Gemini start up kit (As seen in the back of The Source adds next to the gold teeth.) When he found out how “beats” were actually made, he booked time at a local studio and brought his own samples to the engineer to record into the Akai S950 and then dump into the classic SP-1200. Followed by that was a decent software program and weekly trips to local record spots (Yesterdays Books and Music!) and months later began hitting the pads on his trustee MPC 2000XL.. After years of self doubt, he started to step out with beat tapes and would even bring his sampler with him to Speak easy sounds open mics… Wasted money and a shitload of records and beats later, he feels his production is ready for the masses to hear and appreciate…

The Sampler Platter features Tame One,Tone Liv, Sol Zalez, Screwtape, 8th W1, Wyld Lyfe Federation, Hymn (Older Crowds, Louder Music) Murdoc, Gruff Rhino, Slangcorp All Stars, The Strangerz + Unofficial Remixes for some of hip hops favorites.

“This is a compilation of some of the stuff i’ve been working on throughout the years. Some previously released. Others unreleased. The soul goal of this is to build momentum for future projects I plan on releasing soon. And is essentially a care package to the new listener/ Old fan of my work” ”

This is straight FIYA!!!
