Lynn,MA based producer Wizard At Will has been a member at ILL since 2006. "Homework vol1" is his latest beat tape; time for the review.

1.Intro (4 out of 5 Good)

A laid back instrumental with a nice 80's like guitar driven sample.

2.Middle East 90 (3 out of 5 Fair)

This one uses a sped up Arabic sample, interesting concept but slightly irritating.

3.Sell Out (5 out of 5 Classic)

What a superb vocal sample. The soulfulness reminds me of early Kanye and Just Blaze works.

4.Exspendables (5 out of 5 Classic)

Dope emotional sample and hard drums.

5.Hair Band (4 out of 5 Good)

Nice synths and sped up vocals but a tad too messy.

6.Mid Tro (4 out of 5 Good)

Nice chromatic sample. Drums are on point.

7.707! (4 out of 5 Good)

The beat starts after a Borat snippet. Solid chops.

8. Japan Homebrew (4 out of 5 Good)

Smooth beat using an Asian sample.

9. The Wrong Sample (3.5 out of 5 Fair)

Wrong sample? Maybe not but that pop-rock sound isn't my cup of tea.

10.Week 3 (4 out of 5 Good)

Solid guitar driven beat.

11.81 (4.5 out of 5 Very Good)

Nice flip of classic sample.

12.Unplug (4 out of 5 Good)

Solid melancholic instrumental with nice guitars and violins.

13.Week 9 (4.5 out of 5 Very Good)

Same as "81".

14.Bonus Track (4 out of 5 Good)

Nice jazzy horns and keys.

15.Bonus Track 2 (4.5 out of 5 Very Good)

See number 11. and 13.

16.Outro (4 out of 5 Good)

Some nice Wutangish strings.

Conclusion: a solid beat tape with various types of beats. Emcees don't hesitate to get this.

Final Score: 4 out of 5
