Author Al Patterson started collecting vinyl in school. He's since amassed a serious collection and deep knowledge of instrumental-only Hip Hop records. These, whether from the obscure depths of the underground or well-known Hip Hop acts, are catalogued alphabetically by artist and a photograph of the record's label. Each entry specifies the artist, title, format, producer, label, year and catalogue number as well as notes and anecdotes about the disc. Many were pressed in such small numbers that they'll never be seen outside the pages of this book.

'With the likes of Earl Sweatshirt and Kendrick Lamar following the trend for 'surprise' online album drops back in March, it's perhaps easy to forget that hip-hop was once exclusively a vinyl construct. Not only were the records themselves released on wax, but the music on them was released from bits of other records, sampled and spliced together for MC's to rap over. Remove the vocals and you have, of course, the instrumentals. Stick these on a disc and you have the kind of records that Bay Area DJ Albert Patterson collects. Beats to the Rhyme is something of a connoisseur's bible, presenting a must-have assortment of instrumental LPs, ranging from the well known Instrumentalyst release for Dr.Octagoneocologyst, to lesser-known beat LPs from obscure Patterson favourites Scienz of Life. The promo and 'show vinyl' section is where things get really interesting.' -- Record Collector
