Tom Delay Beats presents"Sharks in the Sky", a 12 track collection of contemporary hip-hop instrumentals that landed March 5th on Brake Fast Records. A dexterous producer, Tom Delay, showcases his skill with a presentation of beats that touch various hip-hop subgenres."Sharks in the Sky" contains pure hip-hop head-nodders like “Dream Lab” and “The Living Dead”, quirky but hard hitting 8-bit-sounding beats like “Echelon” and “So Filthy”, and smooth joints like “Just”. Then there are tracks like “The Lives” and “Panoptic” that give off a triumphant indie/electro rock vibe, as Delay seems to toy with the effervescent boundaries of the genre.Within the controlled variance of the album itself,"Sharks in the Sky" maintains a unifying tenor. Robust kicks and snares effectively compliment the record’s dominating organ sounds. Delay’s partisan use of synthesizers for bass lines and ancillary melodies enhance his unique chops and catchy loops. Overall,"Sharks in the Sky" is a deep venture into the art of beat-making.Tom Delay Beats has provided instrumentals and executive production for an increasing number of breakthrough releases, including Dirt Platoon's underground classic"Deeper Than Dirt" as well as battle rap veteran A-Class's"Deathsuit" EP. In 2011, he was recognized by the Baltimore City paper as the “Best Beat Maker of the year”. Delay has also featured a wide breadth of emcees on his beats, including Skyzoo, Big Remo, L.E.G.A.C.Y., Chaundon, and countless others.
