So this is NERD. The gaming beat tape I have probably mentioned once or twice over the last couple of years. I came up with the idea sometime in 2023 and would have started making it late that year or early in 2024. This and Never Gonna Stop went through many phases, though unlike Never Gonna Stop, NERD never had it's name changed, technically anyway. I did sort of change it's name to 1UP but then I recreated the whole tracklist. When I went back and looked through the folder, there were some beats I still liked, some I didn't like, and some that had good ideas and could have been improved. I ended up bringing it back in all it's glory, and then updating it a ton, adding to it, changing things, making it better, and here is the final product.

This beat tape was really short initially, so I swiped beats of my Backrooms tape and also 1UP to pad this thing out and make it feel more complete and have more variety, because at the time all I felt like making and all I was making were beats intended for 1UP, and after changing 1UP to be all trap, it left some boombap and lofi beats to put here. I don't want you guys to get it twisted, these aren't throwaways by any means. Despite Sombre being mostly well liked, Vital Signs was mixed, so I'm gonna think twice about releasing throwaways and leftovers moving forward.

As always, thank you for stopping by, if you're a return listener or maybe even considered a fan, thank you so much. If you're new here, welcome, I hope you enjoy this one and stick around for what's next.

1UP will be out next month, I like NERD a lot, but I think 1UP is even better. I'm releasing them close together as they are similar themes, 1UP is kind of a successor to NERD, and they both sounded pretty well done to me and I couldn't wait any longer.
