Update from Howie (9/30/25):
Here's the first tape I did on my return, The Owner's Manual. Shoutout to the Purple Tape Recordz DJs still chopping it up out there. I may not be like I was in my 17-y.o. prime, but it won't take me long at all to surpass myself. It'll be a fun challenge. For now, enjoy the more laid back version of my chops as I get myself back into the rhythm of things. It has been 15 years since I last did this...and I still enjoy doing blends! Track 3 and 4 are blended beats.
Status Update, 11/1/25:
I'll be honest guys, Table of Contents is not chopped the best. I may go back and do that one over but it'll be at a point if I decide to blend this tape. For now, I will leave as is. Sorry for that, this is literally the first tape I did after 15-year hiatus. I was bound to have a mistake somewhere lmao.
