FREE MIXTAPES!!!
'Cos after all the er.... drama with DJ Drama, it's the new way: mixtapes that really are free and "for promotional use only."
DJ's Benja Styles & JDS pres. the What We Do (The Movie) mixtape feat Freeway. (more: the What We Do movie MySpace page)
Jus Ske My Mind is Playin' Tricks On Me - this was sent to me (and apparently others 'cos it was posted on a bunch of blogs already) and I asked who the f-ck this dude was. Apparently he's an NYC DJ but I've never heard of him and I've lived in the city for a while now. Anyway I was told he's down with my dude Mark Ronson so I decided to give him a pass and jump on the bandwagon too. Check this dude's website out as well: his sampling of other well-known websites is some real hip hop sh-t but he better watch himself 'cos he's looking like an easy target for copyright infringement suits.
Jimmie Reign Go Girl mixtape - the next Bay Area soul singer to blow after Keyshia Cole and Goapele? (d/l the artwork here | MySpace)
"Adult Swim"'s Chrome Children 2 featuring Aloe Blacc, MED, Percee P, Arabian Prince and production by Madlib, Oh No and Four Tet. (link via Stones Throw)
Charlotte NC's Big Treal Respect the Mixtape (prod. by DJ Wizdom) - this dude is supposedly the first cat signed to former Little Brother producer 9th Wonder's Asylum Records distributed 9th’s Wonderful World of Music label. (more: website | MySpace)
Manny Faces Presents... Teddy Pendergrass & Luther Vandross: The Soul of a Man (more: website | MySpace)
Download and enjoy....
