Each track on the new tape still includes the bracketed rapper who ultimately ended up claiming the beat and a couple artists who proved to be the most prominent on Instrumental Mixtape remain ever present on 2: Lil B and Main Attrakionz. I can’t help but view Clams’ newest release, the free Instrumental Mixtape 2, as a neatly symmetrical bookend at one end of the fourteen month span that began with the New Jersey-based producer’s first free tape.
In a little over a year Mike Volpe, aka Clams Casino has gone from the best kept secret in internet-based hip-hop production sorcery to major label-adorned A-lister.
