elm maxell - gutterscum

released .

『bandcamp』

this is... almost everything else. for a while i've been coasting off my beat archives; whenever a rapper would ask to send beats, i'd pick a handful from the archives. whenever i put out a tape, i'd have a handful of new ones, and i'd pad it out with some oldies from my archive.

so, this is me cleaning out the closet. cut tracks from every tape, stuff MCs used that never got released as instrumentals, SoundCloud loosies, etc. a fresh start!

split into two sides, pondscum and diaries, which consist of cut tracks and SoundCloud sketches, respectively. here are some weird epic gamer facts about the beats:

• track 1 was used by Vernie in Hell on the track golden teeth
• track 2 was badly rapped over by me on the album shut-in's handiwork
• track 5 was supposed to be on Summer's Passing, but the label didn't like it. Fuck Em !
• track 7 has a circa 2017 sample of my neighbor's CB radio that used to come thru my speakers, was also used by Vernie In Hell on the track miscreant
• track 15 was used by Hoodie Hilltop on Shamwow.
• track 20 is one of the oldest on here, being made in 2020 during the writing of N​ä​herin
• speaking of, track 21 is a remix of Water Signs from N​ä​herin
• much of the material used in the artwork was sourced from the Imgur Randomizer
