Mix: matatabi – Year One (Hard Jazz 7)

Hard Jazz 7 is a London based net label founded by beatmaker Orion and has just recently completed one full year of existence on planet earth. As a music entity, the label has functioned as a medium for Orion to release his own music but is now progressing to involve more artists. New crew member Matatabi, from Tokyo, Japan, has put together this Year One mix to celebrate the one year since the HJ7 Music label’s beginning. 

Expect a lot more dopeness to come from this expanding international label and also be sure to cop the latest free beattape from Matatabi himself, the Monologue EP.
