At long last, we return with another edition in our ongoing WKND BEATS series of beat CD’s & instrumental albums.

For our 11th installment, returning champ, TOPE (of both TxE and Living Proof) follows up on last year’s highlight, FREELEMONADE with a fresh batch of NEWKICKS.

Just as he did on FREELEM, the PRTLND producer again offers up another solid collection of for-sale instrumentals made out of mostly old soul records (& this time around – some contemporaries as well).

Except, here on NEWKICKS, TOPE re-emerges a noticeably more seasoned producer, apparently learning a lot in just the year since, w/ sharpened chops & new techniques heard without making for an even more enjoyable listen than the previous crowd favorite.
