The instrumental version of the tape tribute to Drake appears to be with "0to100", a simple and minimal drum machine, a lo-fi skeletal rhythm, a pretty vivid and acceptable, light production. A rather light production follows, skeletal and vibrant drum machine, light beat; Cookin Soul builds a circular but almost agile, relaxing sound. The third one is possibly one of the highlights of this instrumental tape: light and minimal drum machine, light beat, minimal, pretty dope. Great job by Cookin Soul. Then, "Walkit". That's a deeply soulful rhythm, with soulful female sample looped in background. Nice carpet, light, tight, lean, dope production. The next one has a light rhythm, with clock's tik-tok tight in background and heavenly musical carpet in background. "Over" keeps a skeletal production, midtempo, extravagant. It's followed by "Lookalive": soulful sample looped in background, simple and minimal drum machine, lo-fi beat, potentially is a great production, but Cookin Soul chooses to keep this rhythm tied to a pole, preventing it from vibrating towards the highs of this tape. The next one presents an evident homage to Biggie, sampling "Ten Crack Commandments" for this light, tight beat with simple, minimal and syncopated drum machine, the rhythm then slows down until it disappears in the end. "Notalive" is the last instrumental track that the beatmaker decide to insert here: drum machine simple and vibrant, eclectic rhythm, good vibes.
Highlights: "Sickomood", "Walkit".
Rating: 7/10.
