First released on cassette via 〈STONES THROW〉 to considerable buzz, the second volume of beats from Dutch genius singer-songwriter and maestro Benny Sings, "Beat Tape II," now gets an LP pressing! You might expect a beat tape to be all instrumental, but this is a full-on R&B/HIP HOP album with raps and vocals throughout — what a lucky find! Alongside longtime friend Mocky, disco/electro-pop producer and cute-voiced singer Cola Boyy turns up on the mic for A3 "Beat 100" (sample_2) — a rare lineup and essential listening.

He started making music in the mid-'90s while listening to De La Soul, and beatmaking is still the very first step in his writing process today. A pleasant late-'90s/early-'00s neo-soul mood runs through the entire record — irresistible for anyone who loves Erykah Badu, Amel Larrieux, or The Roots! Perfect for your downtime~ (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
