Tuamie drops engaging new beat-tape, ‘Farewell.’

By Hazel Clementine

‘Farewell.’ is the title of the most recent beat tape created by one of the standout beat makers and producers in the game. Tuamie tells a story with this beat tape- a quite melancholy story nonetheless, but we loved how creative and expressive he gets with this tape. This album makes your mind wander into and explore multiple possibilities or scenarios of what this album really means.

Our interpretation of this tape is that it goes through someone’s life who’s having a hard time, whether it being financially, mentally or emotionally. He starts off the tape with the first track titled “home less”, and right from the start is where this beat tape captivates the listener. The main character of the beat tape starts to experience homelessness, and could’ve been staying with family and friends but by the second track they’re now homeless on the streets with nowhere to go.

The third track titled ‘open everyday’, gives a sense of hope and ambition. With the more upbeat drums and sense of hope, the main character starts to plan their ways out of homelessness and desperation. They’ve figured out ways to succeed in life- but the 4th track titled ‘street sleeping’ tells us metaphorically but in not so many words that their hopes and aspirations did not pan out as well as they thought it would’ve before. They’re now outside truly sleeping under bridges and in hidden places behind buildings and trees because they don’t have anyone or anywhere to go.

Sadly, By the last track titled ‘xanax or o.d.’, it’s assumed that the main character of the tape has o’d on things that shouldn’t have been consumed. To an artistic hear, the beat on the last track also uses a loop that sounds as if someone is taking their last breaths. Farewell to the main character and another hit once again from precisely one of the best beat maker and producer of our time, Tuamie.
