TabLiv: The Vermont Tapes
TabLiv is a semi-concept album created by Tab {Dead Poets} & Tone Liv {Green Llamas}. The album is focused around a road trip to Vermont, but it also has a very nostalgic feel to it. Tab handled most of the production with a few beats from {Dibiase,Vincent Price & A.U.R.C} sprinkled in to keep it interesting. The Vermont Tapes is definately a feel good summer record but it still has that raw 90's underground NY hip-hop vibe. Influences from everywhere {Sublime,Wu-Tang, A Tribe Called Quest} can be heard throughout these 13 tracks.

"You won't find very many releases this dope at the going rate of...FREE. Tone Liv from Remarkable Mayor combines forces with emcee/producer Tab (Dead Poets) for this project. I went in skeptical enough but left thinking this is one of the top independent release this year. It is THAT good. The beats for the most part qualify for the adjective of superior and the emcees including the few spot guests all shine nicely. I am just getting familiar with Tone Liv right now but his flow sounds impeccable on this production. And this artist, Tab, who I have never heard of, has an equally nice flow. Really great chemistry between the two on the microphone. Almost every track is a gem but if you were to ask me my favorites I would tell you...Vinyl, Take It Easy, Spring Cleaning, Killington Slopes, BoozeHounds, Special Olympics, Hazard Lights, and Magic Of The Night. All of those songs I would give five out of five stars. Pure brilliance. Download now or be sorry later. " - www.laboroflovemusic.net
"The album is dope all the way through. ALL. THE WAY. THROUGH. I’ve had the album on repeat for the last 2 hours, and I haven’t skipped one track. That’s quality music right there, so don’t pass it up. If I was told to give this album a rating, I’d give it a 10/10. I couldn’t find anything wrong with it, or something I didn’t like. Big ups, Tab & Tone!" -www.crayonbeats.com
