Semtex & Roy Thomas present Passed Out - The Mixtape
For those of you who don't keep up on your UK hip hop happenings, "Pass Out" (as the original is officially titled) is a joint by UK rapper, Tinie Tempah that has become the "A Milli"/"I Wanna Rock"/"Exhibit C" of the UK hip hop scene. That is, the joint that every MC had to go in over if they wanted to look relevant and prove their MC mettle.
I love to see regional developments like this. DJ Semtex & his partner at DJSemtex.com Roy have been diligently posting all the various "Pass Out" freestyles & remakes on their blog over the past few weeks and astutely decided to collect them all on this collection. MAJOR props to them for doing that! I believe the original "Pass Out" also became a #1 pop hit over there to boot which, if you know anything about the UK market (its very pop), is a pretty amazing achievement!

I didn't realize how much I liked this song 'til I saw the video at Eskay's. Yo Sem, upload an HQ version to do it justice though.

Mickey Factz - "I'm Sean (50 Shots)" [zshare stream/download mp3 link] - this has been posted on the site before but had to go in again obviously. Mickey on the track:
"As some of you may or may not know, Sean Bell of Queens, Ny was murdered senselessly by 3 undercover police officers. Today the case that was supposed to send these cops to jail were acquitted on ALL charges. So basically, the justice system is not labeling discharging 50 shots as a crime, but as a procedure. Which means that every minority walking the streets of America is liable to get pummeled by a barrage of bullets. Me being an artist, I wrote this song in January 2007 and it is clearly as relevant as it was then as it is now. I ask people to listen to the song and pass it along as a testament to the death of Sean Bell. May he rest in peace and condolences go out to his family and friends."
