Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
**PRE ORDER*** Shipping In JULY!

I'm taking pre-orders on all physical products now. All vinyl is made to order so I have to collect orders for a couple weeks, and order that amount, so order will take a few weeks at minimum. There are vinyl and CD options for 8 of my releases available on this page.
These are demo tapes recorded at home in the 90s, some with 4-tracks, others with more primitive means, sound quality reflects such.

NOTE ABOUT ALL VINYL:

All vinyl is manufactured by Kunaki.com, and is made to order, so I never have excess stock. If you want information on the quality, pressing process, etc..., please visit Kunaki.Com.

These vinyl pieces are something I do as collector's items for people who want to support and have a piece of my music history in their collection. It's definitely not for audiophiles. Listening to the digital will give you an idea of how it sounds.

INTERNATIONAL ORDER: If are out of the country and would like to make an order, first off, thank you kindly. Secondly, hit me up directly to work out shipping rates: KevinBeacham21@gmail.com

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
All CD are manufactured by Kunaki.Com. Here's a note about their CDs from their site:

Does Kunaki replicate (press) or duplicate discs?

Kunaki duplicates discs. Duplication has made major strides over the last few years. Today mediocre duplication is superior to bad replication. And superior duplication is better than mediocre replication. Lastly, superior duplication is every bit as good as the best replication.

about

This is a collection of unreleased demos from North Chicago, IL group, D.O.P.E, consisting of DMF of Flex MC a.k.a Ram. D.O.P.E was a part of Kevin Beacham's Rage Production crew in the late 80s/early 90s. These demos were all recorded between 1990-93, mostly at the Rage Cage, which was wherever Kevin had his equipment set up at the time.

Tracks 2-8 and 10 were produced/recorded using a SP-12, Shure SM58 mics, Tascam 688 8-Track, and a quadraverb. The four bonus songs (#12-15) were produced/recorded using a Roland TR-808, Casio SK-5 Sampler (all samples added manually!), and a Tascam 4-track Portastudio.

Brilliant hip-hop for the fans of boom bap. It also has a slightly more experimental side, but remains super cohesive altogether. The flows of the MCs are masterfully complementing excellent production. This is a great album. Thibaut Devigne
