Thanks to the good folks at Paradise Rhythm, I’ve heard of Akron, Ohio-based producer B00 Radley before, but I didn’t know he has a long track record of music and production placements with groups like Main Attrakionz (and possibly some upcoming work with Chief Keef too.)  the Long Way Home EP is a good introduction to his style if you aren’t familiar.  The project is mostly ambient-sounding tracks that blend Trap sounds, various drum machine noises, progressions from multiple electronic genres and a healthy amount of reverb.  Here is a quick rundown of two tracks and how the whole tape plays out , a full review will be coming out later.  “Let Go”, the first track, is a Trappy track with a prominent saxophone sample and bongo drums that actually works quite well.  

“Red Eyes” is more like a traditional trap beat, but with an electro-style build-up. B00 produced all tracks (except for the bonus track, a KRILLN remix of “Kush Mountain” and “The Race” which Swimful was involved with.)
