Cobrakai Beats has been working hard. On top of dropping 2 beat tapes in recent weeks, he closes out the year with his “Blue Isley” project. “Blue Isley” consists of popular and rare Jay-Z accapellas blended with Isley Brothers sampled beats produced by Cobrakai Beats. I listened to this project last week and was very impressed with how well these sounds blended. The lyrics give you a sense of nostalgia but the beats and blends make it feel brand new. Enjoy.
