Tom Delay Beats released his first instrumental album in 2013, complete with visuals for the lead single, "The Living Dead", from English filmmaker, Louis Martins. An eclectic collection of dark, organ-laden beats, Sharks in The Sky is an audile odyssey in hip-hop instrumentation, tracks from which have been featured on VICE documentaries, VH1 programming, Monster Energy Commercials, and the WWE. In late 2014, Tom Delay Beats produced the entire Nightwriter EP for A-Class, which has received positive reviews online. He also produced two songs (including the title track) for Dirt Platoon’s Bare Face Robbery LP, which was released on Effiscienz. By 2015, Delay had assembled his second instrumental effort, Programming, which was released on Brake Fast Records in the Spring of that same year.
