Two days ago, I was discussing music & mixtapes & I told a friend that summer wasn’t officially official until certain DJ’s dropped their tapes. Specifically, Benzi’s summer installment was one I mentioned. And now here we are.
“The long awaited release of “Get Right Radio: Summer 2009 Edition” is finally here! This go round Star Trak’s own, Chester French, are in for hosting duties and are also contributing a couple of their new joints. the mix is packed with 50 tracks – all mixed and mangled in typical Benzi fashion. Besides the expected “Benzi Refixes” there’s plenty of exclusives and new joints by everyone from Wale and the Kings of Leon to 30h!3 featuring Mike Posner and Kid Cudi! This is another instant classic and you can receive your own free CD (just pay shipping) by clicking the Paypal button below!”
For the first time, there’s a tracked out version that, if you burn it in iTunes as a playlist, there should be no “clicks” in between tracks.

In honor of Independence Day, Novel drops off his Suspended Animation mixtape in an effort to liberate us radio’s bland playlists. Consisting of both original works and interpolations, Novel sings and (occasionally) raps his way through the tape. Boasting features by Ced Hughes, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz, Papoose & Spree Wilson this could be considered by some to be easy listening. Judge for yourself after the break.

Dedicated to Eli Matthew Ibanga R.I.P.
Fresh off last week’s release party, here’s Blaps, Rhymes & Life Vol. 3. Illmind showcases his music with a mix of mainstream and underground artists. In this volume he collaborates with mainstream artists like 50 Cent, Scarface, Young Buck, and Marsha from Floetry, and keeps the balance with underground artists and rising stars such as Termanology, Wale, D-Black, Skyzoo and Torae to name a few. Also included is an official remake of 88 Keys’ single “Stay Up!” featuring Alchemist, Evidence and 88 Keys himself on the rhymes. Master Shake from Adult Swim’s hit TV show Aqua Teen Hunger Force also makes an appearance.

Young Trey is one of the few R & B cats who has the credibility from all angles to drop a “mixtape” and it be received as respectable & authentic, seeing as how the circuit is where he gained his early fame.
Musically, I’m currently in a creative space like no other. I feel as though whenever a mic is put in front of me, I can do no wrong. At a time in the music industry where album sales are low, fans are fickle, inconsistent, or more into the various songs than they are the particular artist, I feel that I must give u a reason to love me. Embed in you a desire to love me and an appreciation for the music. I must show you that not only do I LOVE what I do but I also do it well.
The creation of Anticipation began after I presented Ready to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I’d rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.
I haven’t listened to all of this yet but the early tracks through 6 make it seem promising. Credit due to Trey’s See Further Than I Am. While you’re there, consider grabbing his Genesis material as well, which contains his early demo work. I think we Strayed it a week or two ago but now’s a good time to highlight it.
The break awaits. Read the rest of this entry »

B.o.B. Vs. Bobby Ray has been on repeat since Monday. Especially the first half, as I tried to decipher the samples. Generally samples never slip by me but sometimes a raw beat comes across and it becomes a priority for me to find the orgin. This happened with the banger “My Sweet Baby.” Fury makes a 2004-esque beat, but B.o.B. kills at will. Read the rest of this entry »

Industry Rule #4083: Boy bands wear matching clothes.
Curtis is supposedly recording and releasing several videos for his War Angel LP. That gives me yet another reason not to listen to it or him for a while. The main difference between Get Rich Or Die Trying and everything that followed is 50 Cent’s dwindling focus. Back then, that album was Read the rest of this entry »
The time is finally upon us. B.o.B. with a new mixtape to feed your iPod. Exploiting the alter ego idea, the tape has “B.o.B on the spitting, Bobby Ray on the singing” along with appearances from the Grand Hustle family & others. I’m about to get my early morning workout on & give it a spin. Hit the break for the back cover with tracklisting. Read the rest of this entry »
B.Rich sent this joint out yesterday but Saturday is the blogger’s sabbath so we didn’t get to share it. No DJ versions always work well for me as I’ll just swap this one out for the OG version on my iPod.
Oh yeah…B.o.B. Vs. Bobby Ray drops on Monday. Clear some hard drive space.
Greg Street & the Grand Hustle roster team up for a formal presentation to the streets. Hit the break for the goods. Read the rest of this entry »
