Chuuwee – Wild Style, Mixtape.

Chuuwee’s Wild Style is like Joell Ortiz’ Covers The Classics mixtape, but more subtle. He pays tribute to the spirit of the golden age rather than individual records. Grab favored cuts below. Download: Chuuwee – Rise & Grind (ft. Dceased) (produced by Bounce Brothers) Download: Chuuwee – 40 Oz’s &..

Ra Ra – 96 (ft. Big Sant).

Atlanta rapper Ra Ra shines on this gem from his mixtape Higher (even if he takes the spelling out words thing a little too far on the hook) and then Big Sant crushes it. Who remembers the time Ja Rule spelled ‘Murder Inc.’ wrong on a diss track? A Google..

Freddie Gibbs – Baby Face Killa, Mixtape.

Today, gangsta rap is supported by a crutch. A crutch named Gibbs. On some 2012 mixtape marketing steez, Gibbs released Baby Face Killa with DJ Drama tags, but you can buy the deluxe version minus said tags and stream it at DJBooth.net. “Breaking Bad” and “Fuck Them Niggaz” only appear..

Brown Bag AllStars – Brown Label Part 2.

Filed under New York rap crews that matter. “Say It Now” is an awesome postmortem for starry eyed blog rappers. As a bonus, here’s a cut by Top $ Raz produced by Brown Bag’s Audible Doctor. Sphere: Related Content

Local Natives- Breakers.

Local Natives announced today that they not only have a new single but that they will be releasing their sophomore album, Hummingbird, in January 2013 (!!!!). Fans have been waiting not so patiently for something new from the band whose first album was one of the most solidly produced albums..
