MusicRadar Verdict
With plenty of better hip-hop libraries out there, there's no real reason to pick this one up.
Pros
- +
Unconvincing drums. Rubbish bass.
Cons
- -
If you dig deep enough you'll find some good stuff in there.
MusicRadar's got your back
Unfortunately, this selection of beats and loops falls well short of the mark, with mushy-sounding drum hits, distinctly un-'hood instrument loops, and rubbish bass sounds.
Some of the beat loops are OK, and there are some tasty instrumental parts if you dig deep, but overall this package is a disappointment.
