H∆SHTAG$ - Don't Call It #Beats - Episode 4

Found this Gem over the summer:
 For the fourth episode of H∆SHTAG$ - our web series 
chronicling Internet-based music - we take a deep dive
 into the fledgling beats scene. Flying Lotus, TNGHT, 
The Gaslamp Killer, Shlohmo and XXYYXX are just a
 few of the artists that talk about how a small LA club 
night and circle of friends turned into a truly global 
phenomenon and transformed both electronic music 
and hip hop along the way.

14KT - Five & Ten (Official Music Video)

From the 14KT album "Nickel & Dimed"

About the song: "This is one of the few times that I've written most of the verse in my head. I was reading ECCLESIASTES 2:17-23 and that scripture was right in alignment with how I felt as an artist at the time. I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I've been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers."
