Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | King Louie – Showtime (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 9, 2012
King Louie has been one of Chicago’s most respected up and coming rapper’s for a while now, even getting a shout-out from Kanye in the “I Don’t Like” remix. What we have here is his brand new mixtape. This 22 track tape is bound to please all musical tastes with some slowed down tracks, some upbeat ones, and of course a lot of trap beatz. Be on the lookout for more Louie, because this tape is too raw.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Joey Bada$$ – 1999 (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on June 19, 2012
Joey Bada$$, an upcoming Brooklyn emcee, drops off this phenomenal mixtape. The kid is oozing with talent at just 17 years young. My favorite part of the mixtape has to be the beats. Using the 90s, A Tribe Called Quest sounding beats, Joey flows effortlessly over them. This one has to be in my top 5 mixtapes of the year, hands down. Make sure to peep the tape below. Also, shouts to Eric from SBG for the heads up on this one.
Hip-Hop | SplYt – Catch 22 (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 23, 2012
I had never heard the name SplYt(split) before until a few weeks ago when his manager dropped something in the chatbox, I had time, so I gave it a listen and wasn’t impressed. Sure, the kid has some flow, and the beat was decent, but I had no idea it could lead to a project like this. Every beat is carefully chosen, and each one if murdered in its own respect. Keep in mind that SplYt is new to the game, this is his freshman tape, and he shows loads of potential. Of course, there are some things that he could do better, but it would be a crime not to post this. This kid is going places. I’ve had enough with the over saturation in the rap game, and I can’t stand MCs that don’t do anything unique, but this kid just has straight talent.
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 | Ludovin ft. Childish Gambino- Tricks
Posted by A on March 28, 2012
“I put in work, ask Ludwig. Put my soul on the track like shoes did.“
While many questions remain about Childish Gambino, one of the most perplexing lines from the tape was an obscure reference to an unknown producer by the name of Ludwig. The blogosphere clamored to to find Ludwig’s but were unable to do so, until now. Ludwig Göransson also known as Ludovin helped co-write and co-produce Gambino’s “Camp” EP and now he’s back with an EP of his own. The project is entitled, “How To Find A Party” and you can grab the full project by clicking here.
