Being a huge fan of sample driven beats, this tape was awesome to me. I stumbled across this by accident really, the cover artwork drew me in, and I'm sure glad I gave it a listen. I'm not really one to just sit down and listen to a beat tape of a producer I have never heard of, but this is some high quality music that I have spent the better parts of a few days having on repeat.
From the first few bars of the first track, The Opening Credits, I had a feeling this was going to be a great tape. Focusing on scores from classic Spaghetti Westerns, the album really has a unique, sound and though there are no lyrics it truly does feel like a real album and not just a collection of beats. The tape ranges from grand-scale ballads to low-key super smooth jazzy tracks and a few other styles in between. Album highlights for me are The Opening Credits, 24 Bar Da Vinci, and my personal favorite, Draw. All in all Scores & Spaghetti is a great piece of aural art with quality production throughout, and a unique and satisfying feel to it. I am now a Kelly Portis fan, and am hoping for more music from this very talented producer!
