instrumental

It's not every day that Metro Boomin' offers up a straight-up instrumental without a feature attached. The producer has been working with just about everybody in the Atlanta rap scene, and recently produced Future's entire Monster mixtape.

Cashmere Cat is a Norwegian producer, who you may have seen once or twice on the site this past year as he contributed to Ludacris' "Party Girls" single, among a few other notable hip-hop releases.

Joey Bada$$ is fresh off the release of his debut album B4.DA.$$, and with that project off his plate, Pro Era's go-to producer Chuck Strangers gives fans a little something to get them through the winter months.

DJ Dahi has quickly become one of the most sought after producers in the game, contributing to instrumentals such as Kendrick Lamar's "Money Trees", Drake's "Worst Behaviour", and Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck With U".

Included on his phenomenal 2011 album Electronic Dream, araabMUZIK's track "Lift Off" was one of many on the project that saw him effortlessly blending elements of street-knocking hip-hop and roof-raising EDM.

It's been two years since Jahlil Beats delivered one of his Crack Music instrumental mixtapes, with Crack Music 6 dropping December 2012. Today the producer decides to bring it back with Crack Music 7.

Up until recently, the world knew Chase N. Cashe solely for his phenomenal production work. This year, however, he's been focusing a lot of his time on rapping, which has proven rather fruitful for the New Orleans native. Today, he returns to his production side on an instrumental mixtape entitled Via.

Kendrick Lamar isn't often the subject of tabloid/gossip sites, however, every artist seems to encounter a lawsuit at some point or another in their rising career. K. Dot's facing a new lawsuit according to TMZ, over his Section.80 record "Rigamortis."

It's always interesting to see where producers draw inspiration from when crafting their original instrumentals. For DJ Mustard, current "it" producer on the West Coast, inspiration comes from a wide variety of genres--at least according to a new interview with XXL.

Blue Sky Black Death keep the instrumental and remixes coming with the third instalment in their on-going instrumental tape series, Euphoric Tape III. The project is a mix of original production and remix production, all with a soothing effect that makes for easy listening.

Veteran DJ/producer House Shoes, who also happens to be Detroit's Hip-Hop Ambassador To The World, is currently hosting a J Dilla remix challenge, inviting participants to flip the late producer's "Electric Piano Solo" interlude, from his 1997 EP Unreleased. 

"Cue 06" is a new instrumental single from elusive hip-hop maestro Madlib, included on the soundtrack to Stones Throw Records' new auto-documentary Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton, which is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray (with the soundtrack included) here. 

It’s been a minute since we last heard from Rhymesayer's Aesop Rock, but as he promised earlier this week, the indie rap vet decides to let got of a 32 minute instrumental titled "The Blob". He had this to say about the new release:

J. Hill is a talented mufucka we've had our eyes on for at least two minutes now. The producer, who currently resides in the ATL, has produced tracks for artists like Sir Michael Rocks (see his Lap Of Lux mixtape), Mac Miller ("Someone Like You"), T-Pain ("I Got It"), Migos ("In Yo Life") and the list goes on and on.

Harry Fraud does release his instrumentals for free from time to time, and today happens to be one of those days. The producer has decided to release one of his stand-out contributions to French Montana's Coke Boys 4 mixtape, "88 Coupes" which originally featured French and Jadakiss.

Producer !llmind recently had a venting session about producers not receiving credit for their work and others stealing their records, something which we reported on here.
