” The creativity of this mixtape is something that isn’t normally seen in today’s hip-hop music, and the change is great to hear.  The White House Band has a unique sound that should catch everyone’s attention.  There isn’t a weak track on the entire tape, and the quality beats and above average lyricism guarantee a good listen for any hip-hop fan if they are willing to give it a chance.”

The mixtape is available for purchase via all the digital retailers (iTunes, Amazon): http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/renaissance/id492800830

The influential online platform Karmaloop shares: “David E. Beats has something special cooking here”, while Elusive Magazine states “a smooth flow, and a unique sound combine to keep attention throughout- personal preference aside, there are no “skip over” tracks. There are screaming guitar solos, banging bass lines, and a smooth groove that runs uniquely through all the tracks.” Last but not least, the indie music blog Recreational Vision remarks: “ David E. Beats successfully takes the role as a one man band to deliver an impressive project which showcases a refreshing amount of creativity that is lacking in today’s music.”

On the heels of a promotional series titled “White House Band Weekly” where a new track leaked intermittently since December 2011, White House Band has also opened sets for the likes of Slum Village, Das Racist and Action Bronson to name a few. David E Beats most recently, secured a beat featured on the Lana Del Ray x Notorious B.I.G. Born Ready to Die mixtape by Terry Urban and Mick Boogie.
