Casey Veggies got his start as a founding member of the Odd Future collective, the same group that has also given rise to talents like Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. In Casey’s case, he soon went his own way, releasing a series of acclaimed (and FREE) mixtapes on his website, and also becoming an entrepreneur with the opening of his own clothing line, Peas and Carrots Intl.

Veggies talks about the process of putting together “Customized Greatly Vol. 3,” his time in Odd Future and his work as a designer before performing his song, “Roses,” live.

If you don’t know who Cardo on the Beat is then you need a serious slap in the face. The producer and man behind Wiz Khalifa’s break out mixtape “Kush and Orange Juice” drops a 8 track album full of instrumental goodies that will sooth the craving you have for G-Funk and bass lines you learn to love.

The beat tape starts out with a smooth offering from Ocean Water with a real smooth and funky beat..and sets up a nice transformation and feel for the entire tape. Sunset comes up next and strums up some keys to set the mood for feelings classic smooth beat. I love the fact that every beat I hear from him gives me the feelings of something bigger..classic…I love the video game like sound effects in this cut. Cardo’s Groove II is funky fresh, and very old school sounding as Cardo cause it his groove. And yes don’t worry the signature “cowbell” is in there. The next cut is a track called Lost in Vegas starts out with a small what seems like echo but turns into a spacey futurist beat with highs and lows giving you the feeling of taking care of business in the future. 2050 is just as it sounds in space, cardo shows off his versatility in this one with a different sound than we are use too but really kicks it off.. The next track My Old$chool just plan BUMPS. Its light but funky.. just the perfect ride out beat. Of course for the smokers So High the hazy production slow and smooth for the smokers..and just fades you out…and burst right back to grab your attention. The title track.. Everything I$ Gold is the stand out track in my opinion. This beat tape is cardo at his best, and worth the $7.99 to own.. Go cop that.
