DJ Numark (& Pomo) "Blend Crafters"
Released in Mid 2004, this Hip Hop instrumental album is an instant classic!!
Dj Numark was part of one of the greatest Hip Hop groups ever, Jurassic 5. He was the beat maker along with Cut Chemist. Between them they created some of the best Hip Hop you could ever hear, not to mention they both were amazing DJs.
This record has some of the best beats in the business. Mixing Blues samples ("Bad Luck Blues"), Trumpets ("Lola" and "The Shit") and Flutes ("Flute Fidelity"), this album has it all (except vocals of course!). Not to mention some great piano and awesome Scratching!
It's laid back, interesting and fun. Great for real Hip Hop lovers, or Hip Hop newcomers!!
My personal highlight is "Pow", a piano and odd French voice sample lead steamroller. Awesome beat too.

Below is a fan "video" for the track "Imagine". Even though the image doesn't move, you can still listen to the track.
Massive Fan of this record, the tracks 'imagine' and 'pow' are both in my top 100 tracks for sure
