Clinton Sparks & DJ Benzi pres. Mike Posner - One Foot Out The Door mixtape
Here's the plug:
"On his much anticipated sophomore mixtape, One Foot Out The Door, singer/songwriter/producer Mike Posner has developed his signature sound into a movement that has gotten him signed to J Records, on stages opening for the likes of Akon and on the pages of The New York Times, The New York Post and XXL Magazine. And he’s still a senior at Duke University! On his latest effort Mike deftly crafts a rich soundscape of hard hitting instrumentals coupled with clever songwriting indicative of someone twice his age. While his first mixtape posited it was only A Matter of Time until his buzz took off, on this offering, he makes it clear he has One Foot Out The Door into the stratosphere. Featuring guest appearances from Kid Cudi, Bun B, Big Sean, GLC, 3Oh!3, Freddie Gibbs and XV."

DJ Benzi x Dope Couture - The Jetsetters mixtape
Featuring Pac Div, Naledge, Drake, Kid Cudi, Charles Hamilton, U-N-I and most of the rest of your current favorite blog rappers.
This is actually one of the better mixtapes, music quality-wise, I've heard recently. This dude Blu that's all over the blogs nowadays - I never really checked his sh-t out before but he actually had one of the better tracks on the tape, mostly because he was spittin' over a track sampling "Never Had A Dream Come True" from my favorite album of all time: Jackson 5's ABC.
