Hip-Hop | What’s in Dshaq’s Tape Deck Vol.2
Posted by dshaq on May 14, 2012
For all you Hip-Hop people, I’m back with a brand new edition. This is to give you the latest up and comers who have got me playing their stuff 24/7, or something like that. Last time involved some A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, Phony Ppl, Logic, G-Eazy, Danny Brown, and Skizzy Mars, but I’m back with 5 different artists for your listening pleasure. Without further ado, let’s begin.
1) Chance The Rapper
Chance The Rapper has been on repeat since hearing his 10Day mixtape. Going in on various types of beats, Chance shows his versatility throughout the whole tape and combined together, it makes for one of the best mixtapes of 2012. With a unique voice and a sharp wit, Chance has a style so incomparable to anyone today, which is part of the appeal. Don’t sleep on Chance, he’s gonna be big!
2) Chief Keef
Chief Keef is a touchy subject for most people. A love-hate relationship is a great way to describe him with people. To me, Keef makes some good stuff. Now I know what you’re thinking, “A white kid loves wildin’ out to Chief Keef and his trap musik?”. The answer to that question is, YES, HELL YES I DO. He may not be the best technical rapper, but god does he know how to make some jams, which I guess could be attributed to Young Chop’s success, but nonetheless its awesome. Grab his latest mixtape, and make sure to download 3HUNNA. Next time you’re at a party, throw on some Chief Keef and get crazy.
3) Meek Mill
Okay, so Meek Mill may not be an up and comer, but wow did that Dreamchasers 2 mixtape totally blow my mind. The beats on that thing, in particular the “Amen” one, only made him sound that much better on it. I’m just a fan of everything he does, especially choosing to sign with Rick Ross. After a mixtape like this and an album due out in the Summer, this MMG product is on his way to making an even big name for himself.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Chance The Rapper – Hey Ma (Official Video)
Posted by dshaq on May 11, 2012
Chicago native, Chance the Rapper, drops off visuals to one of the standout tracks on his latest mixtape, 10day. Directed by Elijah Alvardo, the video does a great job giving us that nostalgic feeling. For all you Chicago people, Chance will be playing at Lincoln Hall on June 8th, more details to come. Peep the video and if you haven’t downloaded 10Day, you can do that below.
Hip-Hop | Black Hippy – Black Lip Bastard (Remix)
Posted by dshaq on May 10, 2012
Black Hippy, comprised of California boys Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, SchoolBoy Q, and Jay Rock, team up together to go in on this beautiful track. The lyrical content is above and beyond anything I’ve heard in a long time. Beginning with Kendrick and ending with Jay, the song makes for one of the best releases in 2012, well at least in my opinion. Each of the four, although sounding unique and different than the other, mesh so well on this track. Ab-Soul’s brand new album, Control System, is due out tomorrow so look back for that one. Also, Kendrick and SchoolBoy Q will be touring this summer so be on the lookout for them in your city!
Hip-Hop | Kembe X – Dont Quit (Ft. Alex Wiley) [Official Video]
Posted by dshaq on May 8, 2012
Reppin the Chi-town, Kembe X and pal, Alex Wiley hop on this smooth, laid back smokers anthem. Impressive flows from both guys keep us engaged throughout the whole song. Kembe created some buzz with his Dollar Please video, and this is a great follow up. Look for fellow Chicago native Chance the Rapper in the video too!
Shouts to Pat from SeeBeyondGenre for the track.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Meek Mill – Dreamchasers 2 (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on May 7, 2012
“I ball hard, all year N***a“
Blown away. That would best describe my reaction to Meek Mill’s brand new mixtape, Dreamchasers 2. After the multiple leaks, such as “Burn” and “Amen”, we finally get to listen to it in it’s entirety. The beats are phenomenal but nowhere near as good as his flow, killing every single song. Spitting with some serious emotion, Meek makes each song a must listen from start to finish. Garnering a slew of notable features from the likes of Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Rozay, Wale, 2 CHAINNNZZZZZ (had to), Fabolous, Mac Miller, and French Montana, the tape is too good to be true. So download it and clear a good hour out of your schedule, because you want to listen to this.
