Michael Franco - Sophia


You might remember Nawlins-bred producer Michael Franco (a.k.a. Franco the Fool) from The Beat Tape, Volume 1, in which we featured two tracks ("Honey" & "Springtime") from his 3 Weeks in February project. Since then, he's still been cranking out amazing beats, releasing Fool's Gold a couple months back and, most recently, Sophia. Inspired by the film Vanilla Sky (I think), Sophia's got a pleasant summer vibe. I particularly enjoy track 8, "Turn", which features a sample from one of my favorite records of all time - Gil Scott-Heron's Pieces of a Man. Enjoy... and turn it up!!
