This collection of hip-hop beats, percussion and riffs veers towards the commercial end of the urban spectrum.
The disc features 30 construction kits - these range from 80bpm to 107bpm - and a few folders of extras (including vocals and scratches).
Most users will enjoy the percussion, which has an authentic feel to it. The same can't be said of the instrumentation, which is a little lacking.
There are a few token sound effects, but for the most part it's only the drum hits that will really inspire you.
This is a fair package, but with better instrumentation it could've been a great one.
