Akai Professional & Marco Polo are proud to release "Bap Essentials" Vol 1. Marco in collaboration with his MPC mentor Shy The BeatYoda set off a whole new expansion series entitled BAP ESSENTIALS consisting of classic & raw sounding drum sounds and sample chops to set off your next Hip Hop anthem. The longtime duo cover all styles of production from slow tempo Griselda vibes to that 95 bpm golden era energy. Years of crate digging expertise have been applied to the sound design of this expansion. A MUST have for any producer looking to load up ready to go drum, percussion, bass and musical elements that have a straight from the crates feel. "I handled all the musical elements, bass, efx, percussion and Shy did the drums, we basically made a hard ass beat tape for y'all" - Marco Polo. ENJOY!
