The Oakland beat genius is back. Fort Knocks, released by Jamla Records and Empire, is the latest beat tape by Sndtrak, linking together 20 two-minute vignettes into a masterful set of soulful boom bap. The last time we wrote about Sndtrak was to praise FLIPS V2: FLIP-TUCK, the artist’s second full-length collection of creative, jam-packed, and juicy beats flipping some of the most well-known songs from the past. On this latest collection, the sources are a bit more buried, showcasing the digger side of Sndtrak and (instead of getting playful and even a little silly as FLIPS does) exploring the emotions and heart strings threading through the music.
Fort Knocks is part of a series by the Soul Council, founded by hip hop producer 9th Wonder and currently made up of members Khrysis, Nottz, Eric G, Kash, Amp, E Jones, and Sndtrak.
