DESCRIPTION:
Maker & Joe Beats - Falcon By Design (2011)
http://joeybeats.bandcamp.com/album/falcon-by-design-joeys-side
2 of North America's most interesting and concealed independent hip-hop producers, Chicago's Maker and Rhode Island's Joe Beats, have teamed up for a collaborative LP on Fieldwerk Recordings titled Falcon By Design. The album which has 10 tracks split into two sides (one side for each artist) features pure, sample based tracks mixed with heavy breaks and bone crushing drums. A style that is a nod to hip-hop's beats of the past but also introduces a modern twist. On Maker's side of the LP, he institutes a continuous mix furthering his theme of evolving depth with beautifully composed, carefully constructed instrumentals. On the flip, Joe Beats does the opposite, staying true to himself and pressing on with what he is known for best: beats after beats after beats.
