Expect nothing but well-tailored beats and impressive arrangements. Puzzles, an 11-track album by the 11 beat makers and producers of Raw Tapes, was released last January 2013.
Owned and operated by Osbourne “Ease” Green, Raw Tapes Records have been releasing outstanding records since 2010.
Ain’t music produced better than with love?
This probably is the mantra of rising urban group Ain’t No Love, which, after wowing indie music fans with slicker-than-slick tunes via their self-titled EP, returns with a slightly moody Tears of Joy.

Gold Standard is an epic hip-hop extraordinaire. Unusual beats, with a bit of jazz, the track is superbly slick.
