Bass, Deep House, Mix | NVOY – Twerktape

Posted by on January 11, 2014

Deep house duo NVOY showcase their sophisticated, dapper style in their sophomore mixtape, Twerktape, redefining the world’s most exploited dance trend in a way that I can totally get down with. In fact, I tested out this mixtape at a pregame the other day and results show that 10 out of 10 party goers were observed to be grooving during playtime. Not bad. Highlights include a variety of refreshingly new (to my radar, at least) deep house and bass tracks, all your favorite NVOY originals, and a remix of “Gas Pedal” that is absolutely legend. So put that champagne on the rocks and the speakers on loud and watch the ladies flock, folks.

Chill, Hip-Hop | BONES – Calcium (prod. by Kid HNRK)

Posted by on January 2, 2014

Wow, this track really surprised me (in a good way). “Calcium” is one track off of Bones’s mixtape called “Deadboy”. This track is produced by Kid HNRK, and that’s how I came to find it, since I’m not usually one to be sifting through rap mixtapes. The beat on this song is amazing. It’s chill and eerie, and sounds great with Bones. It gives me sort of a Clams Casino kind of vibe. Grab his mixtape for more cool tracks.

Mixtapes | Vice & Vision – Ctrl + Alt + Del

Posted by on December 18, 2013

Presented to me as “steaze from two steazy canadians”, here’s some really fresh hip hop for y’all getting sick of your day to day music. A duo from Edmonton, Canada, the two really know how to pick them. It was all in the instrumentals that really caught my attention, using beats from RJD2, Atu, Carmack, Vanilla, Moods & even more than that?!?! It was too good to be true. The mixtape features a unique array of songs, ranging from slappers to mellow-mooded melodies with original lyrics to reflect on. Download Ctrl + Alt + Del here for FREE.

Tef Poe | Rockwell Knuckles

Everytime I check up on Rockwell Knuckles he has something new, and today he released the “David Ruffin Theory,” a collaborative mixtape with Tef Poe, and you shouldn’t sleep on it. From being songwriters, lyricists, and entertainers, Rockwell and Tef can do it all, and showcase this on their project with witty hooks, dope flows, and epic beats. I’m still on my first play of the mixtape, and I’m loving it so far, ya’ll should check out the visuals for the lead single “Head Full Of Smoke.” I sincerely hope we see more of these 2 in 2014, they deserve it, only a matter of time till they get a radio hit! This is a must listen and download the mixtape for free!

Trap | Benzi – Girl Trapz (Volume Four)

Posted by on November 26, 2013

Benzi is baaaack with another one of his signature, highly acclaimed Girl Trapz mixtapes. This Girl Trapz is special not just because its tracklist is a stolid 10 or that it makes girls (and boys!) want to take their clothes off BUT because almost all of the featured songs were produced exclusively for this set. That includes contributions from the Girl Trapz remix contest Benzi held leading up to the release. So I raise my glass to you Benzi, not a single song disappoints. Snatch this free download and let it take you away on an hour-long euphoric, ass-shaking journey.
