Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Jadakiss – Consignment

Posted by 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 | Ground Up – The Get Up [Mixtape]

Posted by on March 9, 2012

I’ll be honest, this mixtape hit me like a bag of bricks.  I didn’t know it was coming and I certainly wasn’t expecting this thorough of a project.  Now 10 mixtapes deep, Ground Up has faded on and off my radar but after hearing their last project, “The Get Down” and this one “The Get Up” it’s evident I need to pay more attention to the Philly duo.  “Skill over Swag” is the motto Azar and Malakai have coined and ran with, meaning substance over conforming to sell records.  I really think this tape is their best yet and all aspects of their delivery have greatly improved; from the ground up.  With production from Teddy Roxpin, Jahlil Beats, & of course Bij Lincs as well as features from Freeway, Young Chris, among others, there’s a good variety of subgenre’s featured.

Hip-Hop | Tayyib Ali ft. Rockie Fresh – Shit I Know (Prod. by Jahlil Beats)

Posted by on January 12, 2012

We went from not hearing much from Tayyib for several months to seeing trigger happy Tay fire out two new tracks in less than a week. Call us spoiled, but this new one is lava.  Linking up with XXL Freshman nominee, Rockie Fresh, as they did on Rockie’s last mixtape, the two young guns have a fresh new sound for the new year.  Rockin’ Roc Nation’s own, Jahlil Beats’, production, it’s safe to say there is more than one artist deserving of an XXL nomination.  Grab last week’s release, “Tomorrow” as well as we get in line for the prince of Philly’s 3rd mixtape this spring.
