Unfortunately, this selection of beats and loops falls well short of the mark, with mushy-sounding drum hits, distinctly un-'hood instrument loops, and rubbish bass sounds.

Some of the beat loops are OK, and there are some tasty instrumental parts if you dig deep, but overall this package is a disappointment.
