BEAT TAPE TO PEEP: “Gina’s Tape” from Notiz Yong

Notiz Yong’s new beat tape, curated from years of making beats while his recently departed doggo Gina sat next to him, is unsurprisingly a quality package of thoughtful, rappable, melodic beats with crispy drums and slick sirens.
Tanjint’s fave beat from the tape
Since he knew he was about to be a dad we’ve seen Notiz do more vulnerable, adult and even family-oriented work. We’ve seen him embrace melody and confessionalism more than ever. Now we see his heart continues to expand and learn…you can’t help but wonder if that was the plan all along because he always told us he intended to grow some.
