When the beat drops the next time around, it's accompanied by some rainy, Blade Runner-style keyboards. Later on, blasts of bass rumble through, and animal noises arrive instead of a breakdown. 'Motivation' begins with a buzz of in-the-red static and a moaning vocal sample, and then suddenly the beat drops and the vocal sample begins eerily humming along. This collection of instrumentals doesn't simply survey Clams' production it turns his rap beats into moody compositions and flips the basic beat-tape concept into an album-like collection of electronic music.Ĭlams Casino productions generally bring together conventional hip-hop drums, a sensitive ear for off-to-the-side melodies, and an overdose of oddly moving atmosphere. It speaks to Clams' rarefied vision that he refuses to find room for an in-demand instrumental on a free download but includes an untitled final track, a bizarre, minute-long footwork-like manipulation of 'Teddy's Jam' from 1980s new jack swing group Guy. 'Worth It' was for Danny Brown, 'Leave With You' was for Lucki, 'Kali Yuga' was for Ghostmane, and 'Stem / Long Stem Remix' and 'Elastic Heart Remix' were remixes done for DJ Shadow and Sia.'I'm God' isn't included on Instrumental Mixtape the beats here are even more diffuse, and it wouldn't really fit. 'Surf,' 'Norf Norf,' and 'Summertime' were all originally for Vince Staples. Mixtape tracks 'Uncle' and 'Talk It' were originally produced for A$AP Ferg. The last edition of his instrumental mixtape series, Instrumental Tape 3, came out in 2013. He first announced the mixtape on Saturday, when he also shared the gauzy, spaced-out track 'Wavey.' 32 Levels, his debut album, was released last year. Instrumentals 4 features two previously unreleased tracks-'Say Your Prayers' and 'Wavey'-as well as a host of beats and remixes he's done over the last few years.

New Jersey producer Clams Casino has shared the fourth iteration of his signature instrumental mixtape series.
