Mix | La Griffe – Les Inseparables
Posted by mimada on April 17, 2014
If you pride yourself in being coooool or trendy, or having a unique, underground taste in music then you just need to go ahead and hold your horses because what I’m about to show you about is going to rock your world. Meet La Griffe, a DJ duo comprised of two brothers, one based in France and the other in the Big Apple. Taking into account these guys therefore have two major global music outlets on lock, you can only imagine their exquisite taste and even more exquisite library of jams. This mixtape, which is apparently the 4th Volume of the “L’Amour en Crescendo” Collection, features an assortment of songs, beats, and remixes I quite frankly haven’t heard anywhere else. Don’t be turned away if you feel a little uncertain about the mixtape at first, just take a deep breath and you’ll find yourself grooving before you know it. My recommendation? While getting ready to go out tonight or anytime this long weekend, light some candles, make yourself a cocktail, download this, turn it on and let it take you away.

Andre Nickatina, E40 and The Grouch…If those three names don’t have you listening already then roll one up and enjoy King Doobie’s first mixtape. The Loud Life features six tracks that are the perfect compliment to any blunt and a nice warm up for 4/20. Impressive for his first mixtape and I can’t wait to see what he has in store. Be sure to grab the free download below and happy Monday.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Lebron’s Rapping and It’s Not an April Fools Joke.
Posted by Grubeats on April 1, 2014
It takes a lot to wake me a fallen blogstar up from his blog coma. This my friends, is one exception. Let me preface…
I’m sitting at my desk, dropping panties with my Excel wizardry, smashing through some emails while simultaneously scrolling through some blogs looking for new beats to feed my ears through the end of the work day. Some solid tunes along the way, but nothing too face melting for a Tuesday. Earlier in the morning I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw this tweet from LBJ;
I will be coming out with my mixtape April 16th. Feature on it Jay-Z, Drake, Ross, Meek, Juicy J, Kendrick, Snoop, and many more. “King Me”
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 1, 2014
Joke, right? The last thing Lebron James should be doing is rapping. My initial thought was that Lebron was “hosting” a mixtape (in other words slapping his name on it for some seamless promotion), with “features” (meaning guest tracks) from Jay-Z, Drake, Kendrick, etc. Wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG, GRUBE. Four hours later and my ears are literally listening to Lebron rap – my ears. For those who saw the Jimmy Fallon x Lebron skit know why this news is so disturbing. I feel violated.
Lebron opens up his “F*ckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt” freestyle with an impression of Bun B, I think? Lebron, haven’t you learned anything from your predecessors? A.I., Ron Artest, Shaq, Kobe, Tony Parker, Chris Webber, the list goes on, bro. You’re trying to be the best ever and you’re dropping corny raps like this? You’re already one of the most hated players in the NBA from your circus act of a departure from Cleveland to your broken face “incident” earlier this year. If anything, be like KD and stay under the radar producing. For the sake of the NBA and more importantly humanity, please do us all a favor and never pick up a mic again. Ever. Did Jordan ever rap? Stupid question. Sorry Lebron, you can keep rapping about your “2 RINGS” in your 2 Chainz voice, while Bill Russell laughs at your antics while sipping a bourbon browsing Amazon for a ceramic hand to hold his 11th ring. Don’t worry though…

Throwbacks | Valentines Slowjams Chapter VII
Posted by mimada on February 14, 2014
I’m gonna go ahead and say this mixtape is either exactly what you’d expect or quite the opposite coming from Hudson Mohawke (probably the former if you’re a regular of this mixtape series), but I can say with certainty it is exactly what you need on this special day. Take a trip back in time and find out what love sounded like when your parents were gettin’ their groove thaang on, complete with all the sexy saxophone and backup singers you could ever ask for. Light the candles, sprinkle some rose petals, run the bath water and let the fun begin…

Electro | DSK CHK Debuts “WIL” (What Is Love)
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 9, 2014
Recently debuted for a packed house on the final set of the infamous Groove Cruise 10 Year Anniversary, “WIL” brought the crowd to a roar. The SHM classic style chords mixed with nasty drop that bangs out on all cylinders has been teased now for quite awhile. DSK CHK intro’s a new protege only known as “Brink” and consistent with the DC packaging, there is little known about the artist in the cameo.
DSK CHK leaves us with a steaming hot trailer that would make 50 Shades of Grey look like a high school date. You MUST check this out, but warning, this is not work place friendly!
Check the trailer here:
