Leon - Biting
Leon is a longtime producer/MC from Italy, operating as a group (Alchimisti di rime) but often releases beat-driven instrumentals independently.
His newest solo-project is 'Biting'; sample-filled hip-hop instrumentals following his budding production work with rapper Mega.
Been deep in hip-hop instrumentals lately (AFTA-1's newest 'Form', previous BoomBaptist, 1000names' newest 'Illuminated Man', etc.) and this album has found a nice place in the mix -- readily on repeat with the agreeable 25 minutes of material.
