DOWNLOAD: Hi-Rez – The Window [Mixtape]
Fort. Lauderdale, Florida rapper Hi-Rez finally drops his anticipated mixtape, The Window. After dropping numerous songs off the project such as “X-Problems”, “On The Clock” and “A Meaning” I was impressed with Hi-Rez’s production behind beats and delivery with verses. After taking time and listening to the entire mixtape a few times over I’ve got to say this, Hi-Rez and his music have grown a lot over this past year. From the songs themselves down to the videos that accompany them. The #RezNation that follows has continued to steadily grow along with him as well. Now pushing over 12,600 Twitter followers and 26,000 likes on Facebook. If you’re looking to switch it up and listen to something new give this a try and let us know what you think in the comments below!
Chill, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Beau Young Prince – Dream Catcher (Mini-Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 14, 2012
After a brief hiatus from the making of good music, actually, let’s call it a hibernation. Beau Young Prince has returned with a vengeance. Recognizing that he’s been off his game, Beau took the necessary steps to get back on track with this mini-mixtape. Although the tape is only six songs deep, it features Beau showing off some serious versatility. He tackles some faster paced beats, keeping up with the higher tempo with ease. And flows over the chill, slower beats without missing a beat. Admittedly, one track, Wild Things Are, I have no idea what the hell is going on with, but it’s a pretty cool beat.
I found it interesting that Beau named the tape Dream Catcher, because after his lack of quality music in the past few months, it shows me that he’s back, and dedicated to the dream that so many artists are vying for. You. All artists are out to gain fans, because they know that they’re the ultimate key to their success, and Beau knows that he’s been off his game, but he’s back. Last night, I asked Beau why he chose a bed for the cover, and he said because that’s where dreams occurred, and he really liked the image his guy brought him.
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.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Mixtape]

“I used to follow my dreams, until I caught up to them” – Logic
Word association. I say “Logic”, you say …? Lyrics, versatility, confidence? Those are just a few of the 22 year old’s most distinguished characteristics.
I was first introduced to Logic by Chris Zarou last July when he signed an independent record deal with Visionary Music Group. Christening my ears withLogic’s debut mixtape, Young, Broke, & Infamous, it was evident the young Maryland MC bolstered a repertoire unlike any other up and coming hip-hop artist. Mainstream beats, lyrics with a deeper flavor than seven layer lasagna, & a repeated intellectual and versatile flow. At that time, Logic had a slim 1,500 Facebook fans and a couple thousand Twitter followers. With very little blog coverage at that time, college sites began to join the movement which sparked a very successful sophomore mixtape, Young Sintra. Playing off his idol, the great Frank Sinatra, Logic’s fan base (shout out #RattPack & #BobbySoxers) was steadily growing. Logic has said Young Sinatra was a representation of the transformation of him turning from a boy into the young man he is today. Keeping the core values consistent with Young, Broke, & Infamous, Logic offered more originality and even more versatility. Serving up a blend of tracks for the streets, the avid fan of lyricism, college students, and even the fine groupie women (Bobby Soxer’s).
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Jadakiss – Consignment
Posted by Rohan on April 27, 2012
Jadakiss returns for a hard-hitting mixtape with beats reminiscent of his early days with Bad Boy. The features on this mixtape are OBSCENE, with all of The LOX (Jadakiss’s group) including Sheek Louch and Styles P, along with Wale, Swizz Beatz, Waka Flocka, Meek Mill, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti, French Montana, I could keep going…the producers are just as impressive with Jahlil Beats, Young Joc and AraabMuzik being just a few. Right from the start, Jahlil Beats murders the beat on “Paper Tags”, and Wale’s verse is nasty. “Respect It”, the track with Fabolous and Lloyd Banks, is straight up dirty, Marly kills the beat. Listen to the mixtape below; D-BLOCK.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Chance The Rapper – 10 Day
Posted by dshaq on April 24, 2012
Now I’m a little late with this, but this is too good to not post. Chance The Rapper, a fellow Chicago native, delivers a masterful mixtape combining beautiful piano riffs, great rhymes, and clean vocals. Chance has been creating a great buzz not only in Chicago but also across the internet, and this tape is the reason why. I’m blown away by this production, it’s top notch, even sampling one of my favorite indie bands Beirut. This will be on repeat for quite some time, which is perfect with Summer around the corner because there are some great cruisin’ songs on it. This is definitely a MUST DOWNLOAD and look out for more Chance in the near future.
