When we look back at 2018, Kenny Beats must get his recognition for the work he's done this year. Whether it's producing a project filled with doep boy-fueled raps with Freddie Gibbs or providing the soundscape to Vince Staples' world of Long Beach, CA, Kenny Beats has been behind some of the most revered hip-hop music to be released this year. However, the producer isn't done with the year just yet. After releasing "Blitz" with ALLBLACK, he and the Oakland rapper come through with their new joint project, 2 Minute Drills.
ALLBLACK and Kenny Beats have returned with their new project, 2 Minute Drills. The collaborative effort consists of seven tracks and runs for a bit over 16 minutes, making it a quick, yet enjoyable listen. Although ALLBLACK handles the majority of the vocals on the project, he does recruit Rob Vicious for some assistance on track five, "Weight Ins."
Peep their new project below.
