Dillon, the Atlanta-based MC, DJ, and beatmaker, presents "Gardenstrumentals," a vibrant and immersive instrumental project released on July 3, 2020, under the label Full Plate. This 29-minute beat tape is a celebration of underground hip-hop and boom bap, offering a lush soundscape inspired by the art of gardening. With 18 tracks, each under two minutes, Dillon crafts a cohesive journey through the seasons and cycles of plant life, from the initial "Dig for Victory" to the reflective "Weedeater, Pt. 2."
The album's title, "Gardenstrumentals," cleverly combines the words "garden" and "instrumentals," setting the stage for a sonic experience that mirrors the growth and nurturing of a garden. Dillon's production is rich with lo-fi textures, sampling, and beats that evoke the sounds of nature and the rhythmic pulse of urban life. Tracks like "Miracle Grow" and "Victory Gardens" burst with energy, while "Sun & Soil" and "Seedlings" offer a more introspective and melodic touch.
"Gardenstrumentals" is not just an album; it's an invitation to cultivate your own creative space. Whether you're a gardener, a hip-hop enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a unique listening experience, Dillon's beat tape provides the perfect soundtrack to inspire and accompany you through your day.
