After an almost two year hiatus – the FRSH SLCTS WKND BEATS series has now officially been reinstated. Joining the ranks among Daru, devonwho, Will Sessions, J1, Proh Mic & Hi-Res for the 7th edition of the series is an all new, exclusive beat CD from Portland’s own, Tope. First known as one half of Living Proof, and then later on as both a solo MC/producer, & one third of the group TxE – Tope’s production work can often get slept on the in the midst of his output as a rapper. So here with a freshly squeezed batch of reminders that he gets it in true on the beats as well, Tope offers up FREELEMONADE.
