New BBI track, a new beat for lease and purchase, and as always, the production vault update!

Also note: If you haven't heard yet, our Beats section on our website will be updated bi-weekly! This week has the second beat in the bi-weekly series! =]

.: Quick News Tidbits :.

Short list of what's happened this week and what's coming up:

• A new Black and Blue Ink. track from the upcoming album, "The Lyricist Manifesto," was released. The Five Card Saloon has the feel of a Western, and it needs to be heard for you to get what we were trying to do. =]
• A new beat is in the Beats section, called "Half Club, Half G." All you Rick Ross types may want to get on that.
• CoCoa's new song, "Heart Invasion," will be worked on soon.
• Destiny Soprano has a cover that will be worked on soon.

We have two kits (and a small bonus) with this week's bundle, and it consists of the SIHD 1 kit and the Thug Poet kit. Thug Poet is a producer who has worked with Torch from Triple C's (Carol City Cartel of Rick Ross fame), Devin the Dude, Beeda Weeda, Chuwee from The Usual Suspects, Lefty Thefty, and others. He provided us with a kit that, although small in number, will get the job done in many boom-bap style cases. The drums come with a slightly noticeable hiss on them to give you that feel of old school vinyl, and the kicks have a hard punch to them. One thing you may notice is a lack of hats, but you can fill those in with either hats from the other kit in the bundle, or (what I think would be a great fit) would be the Deadly or Filthy Drum kits, also available below.

The other kit is the SIHD 1 kit, which is a great kit with very clear sounding drums, which I guess is indicative by the HD in the name of the kit. This gives you some flexibility to go from newer styles where crystal clear recording studio quality is desired, or you can filter it up yourself and dirty it up for that old school flavor. There are some awesome punchy kicks in this kit that I personally use, and I'm sure you can find a use for them as well.
