The Dirty Sample delivers Beats To Murder Rappers 2

Out now! Just in time for Halloween! The new horrorcore beat tape from The Dirty Sample…

Calgary producer The Dirty Sample goes darker for volume 2 in his horrorcore beat tape series. Beats To Murder Rappers 2 is a horrendous, spine-tingling thrill ride through 20 tracks built upon a foundation of boom bap drums augmented by  only the finest notes and strings plucked from Halloween soundtracks alongside vocal samples from horror b-movies. While the digital album drops on Halloween, the cassette tape dropped early as an official Cassette Week 2024 release. MCs beware as you enter the horrifying world of Beats To Murder Rappers 2.

Produced by The Dirty Sample

Also available on cassette in your choice of five sparkly colours: red, blue, green, silver, and gold…
