In a beat world of bleeps and bloops Eric “Depakote” Lopez Says “No!” to the synthy-fuzzy off beat revolution that has the kids going bananas right now. “I have to do me, and me is sample based hip-hop,” Eric states every time we speak on the beat scene. Before you start thinking it is about the that bleep sound, give this guy listen and you know why Marry Ann Hobbs featured his first Indy label release “It’s Not 94 Any More” on her site. Along with that push from MAH, Eric has received recognition from many prominent radio shows and websites through out his career. With that said, Eric has a new release called “Gummo.” It’s a boom bap dusty head-noder that is a must for your hip-hop beat collection. Do the right thing and scoop this up sunnn. If you don’t believe me, “LilyKoranic” should convince you.
