Yet another Stereoreoreo Strrrrange is here for your enjoyment (I do hope you enjoy these!). This time, the tunes are, in my opinion, pretty heavy, hence the name Tons! Let the music take you away to another plane!

Instrumentals are the backbone of any Hip Hop song. They not only provide emcees with the room to express their creativity, but also establishes the mood and rhythm in which the listeners will enjoy. For me, the steady rhythm of instrumentals are relaxing, and at times as tense as these (or perhaps its just me?), a bit of relaxation helps clear the mind. This is an instrumental mix I created a while back but never released. I hope you enjoy playing this selection, and if you're feeling creative, do freestyle over it. Have Fun!
As I was making this mix, the term "Red Eye" suddenly came to mind (for no apparent reason, really). Three things come to mind when I think of red eye: one, an early morning flight (red eye flight), two, a Candiria song (Red Eye Flight), and three, the double espresso and black coffee combination we used to serve at the bakery I worked at (called a red eye). This time the mix is filled with music that I believe are quite soothing, a little bit energetic, but never spastic - something that can hold you attention but will make for great background music as well. I hope you enjoy it!

Today's mix features a bunch of a relatively current stuff (current according to me, with the exception of "Children of the Future Age" which is quite old, but whose title is appropriate for an introduction... so uhhh... yeah...).
