TORII 

"A torii (Japanese: 鳥居, [to.ɾi.i]) is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred."

The TORII beat tape is inspired by Japanese culture and lifestyle. I was always in awe of the honour, respect, bravery and warmth Japanese people carried with them at all times and this made me experiment with different textures, instruments and sounds that reminded me of those values which you'll hear predominantly in tracks like 'Bushido and Bushie Jitsu'.

I have always related with their unique virtues and way of life that's why it was so important to me to create this album. It has taken me over four years to produce, mix and master, and I am VERY excited to share with body of work with the world. Now I can continue to push myself and my boundaries. 

The reason this album is important for me is, it represents my transition as an artist and overcoming the difficulties I faced as a producer living in Johannesburg. Shortly after I released my previous full length album 'Beats Drake Shouldn't Hear' I was robbed and lost the laptop with all my work backed up on it...
A couple months later I relocated to Cape Town, and have put this album together for a greater purpose. I cannot lose myself in being robbed of material possessions, my talents are within me, my equipment was merely an extension of what I have in me and lastly, I have pride in that which is in me and because I have pride in my talents, I will respect it and in doing so, honor it with anything I can use to create. 

So kindly like, comment and share and stay tuned for MORE ! 
I hope you keep listening and use Headphones for the best experience.
Thank you from Off Beaten Path productions.
