Blog fav Robot Orchestra returns triumphantly with another solidly impressive beat tape, as well as plenty of other goodies to keep your eyes and ears satisfied. Boom Blap is full of thick hiphopstrumentals, as well as some choice remixes. Openers “Bring The Noise,” “First Love,” and “Robot Invazion (Another Episode)” all let the crunching drums take the lead, the last of which represents the artist’s nom de production the best. “JAZz+jazZ=JAzZ?” is predictably mellow with some near-digital horns; “Keep On” glides while “Follow The Sun” surrenders to a clap; “Spooky Spirals (feat. RAmusiG)” is another slow-and-heavy banger. Many tracks feature a well-sampled intro, with Robot Orchestra flexing his range on the psychedelically-minded “Lysergide” into the robot creationism of “Damaged DemiGod 300” into the swirling radio waves of “Live Broadcast.” As for the remixes, Talib Kweli’s “Classic” is sweet and soulful, Guilty Simpson and Elzhi’s “Real Heavy” stays sparse beneath the hazy vocals, and J Dilla and Phat Kat’s “Game Over” is vintage Detroit by way of Cologne. Closer “A Tribute to the King (feat. Loop.Holes)” is an ode to a legend, pure boom-bap while the vocals bite tight.

Goodies? Yes, a three-pack of MF Doom remixes, the background music to three dope b-boy videos, and a choice beat:
