about

The Dirt Cuts Beat EP is the third installment in Cale Hawkins' series of hip-hop/electronica beat tapes. Normally a R&B/funk/soul keyboardist, songwriter, and vocalist, these tapes are an alternative outlet of creative expression for Hawkins.

This EP features a guest verse from John Robinson, also known as Lil Sci from the Scienz of Life. He has worked with The Roots, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Run DMC, MF DOOM, and C.L. Smooth, and is a really dope MC. His work can be found at: www.thejohnrobinsonproject.com

Additionally, this is the first Cale Hawkins Beat EP to experiment with remixes. Two tracks are remixed on the EP: "My Favorite Ladies" by MF DOOM, and "Breathe and Stop," a Dilla classic from Q-Tip's "Amplified" album.
