Nasty Face Beat Tape

The Nasty Face Beat Tape – Instrumentals

💿 Digital Release Only – Available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all streaming platforms.

Overview:
The Nasty Face Beat Tape is a raw, instrumental-only project by John Keenan — a snapshot of creative frustration and freedom from 2021. Originally intended for Wreckage of the Past, these beats were abandoned, unfinished, or too personal to finalize. Rather than let them collect dust, John dropped them as-is: wild, grimy, honest sketches from the lab.

Inspired by Dr. Dre’s 2001 Instrumentals release, this project serves both as a standalone instrumental album and a gift to fellow artists — a canvas for writers, rappers, and thinkers. It’s rough, unpolished, and unfiltered — and that’s the point.

Trivia:
One of these beats was later rescued, refined, and transformed into a finished song on Wreckage of the Past. In that sense, this tape is more than a throwaway — it’s the wreckage before the wreckage.
