BACKPACK BEATZ — I’M JUST AS NICE VOL. 2 | 10 Tracks of Hip Hop and R&B
Some people participate in hip hop. Backpack Beatz breathes it — and that distinction matters more than it might sound. When your relationship with the culture runs deep enough to call yourself a hip hop breather, when your creative identity spans production, emceeing, radio hosting, and journalism simultaneously, the music you make carries a different kind of weight. It’s informed by every angle of the culture at once. You hear that totality on *I’m Just As Nice, Vol. 2* — a project that couldn’t have been made by someone who only knows one side of the art form.
Vol. 2 of the monthly 2026 series lands right on schedule and doesn’t waste a second of your time. Ten tracks of deliberate, focused production from a beatmaker who clearly knows exactly what he’s building toward.This is someone who has studied hip hop from every possible vantage point — behind the boards, behind the mic, behind the broadcast mic, behind the journalist’s pen — and is now channeling all of that accumulated knowledge into a monthly statement of intent.
The signature of this project lives in the groove. Pair that with bass lines that hit with genuine punch and structural weight, and you’ve got a rhythm section that translates across every listening context, from earbuds on a commute to a proper sound system with room to breathe.
Track 3 — “Good N Plenty Flip” emerges as a favorite. This is where the producer’s creative range announces itself most clearly. The flip is inventive, the execution is clean, and it showcases a side of Backpack Beatz that makes you immediately curious about what Vol. 3 is going to sound like.
The fact that a new volume drops every month in 2026 is either an extraordinary creative output or confirmation that Backpack Beatz has been sitting on a deep catalog waiting for the right moment to let it breathe. Either way, the music demands your attention. Get acquainted now.
