I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin/ quick to toast an mc just like an english muffin
X.O.’s mixtape, The Takeover: Part 2, comes hot off the release of The Mixtape About Nothing and demonstrates that DC’s rap scene isn’t a one trick pony. The mixtape features local producers and X.O. has a solid flow. The Takeover: Part 2 isn’t the showpiece that Wale’s new tape is and isn’t as stylish as [...]
With the release of The Confessional mixtape just two days away, I thought I’d offer a primer on my favourite rapper from the West Coast, Aftermath’s own Bishop Lamont. While we’re waiting for his debut to drop, everyone should listen to one of Bishop’s exemplary mixtapes for free. Dude has mastered the art of mixtapes, [...]
Soulbrotha is dope, that’s all you need to know. We already recommended SB, so trust us on this one.
Download his latest, the Exodus Mixtape here.

I remember reading about these tapes a while ago but never got to hear them. Shouts to KB for uploading them, since we at ML are suckers for Premier mixes.
Download Tape A of Crooklyn Cuts.
The first tape is actually missing the last three tracks on the b-side, which I’ve bolded. I’ve upped [...]
Another day, another mixtape. I first heard Detroit’s own NameTag on the Fat Ray & Black Milk joint The Lookout (via Sit Down Stand Up). All around dope song with NameTag holding it down lyrically and Black Milk coming with a crazy beat, but I never gave NameTag a second thought until I saw [...]
Dude caught my attention when Sit Down Stand Up posted his Pete Rock-produced Oxygen, which as my friend Grant points out, sounds a lot like Hip-Hopcrisy off PeteStrumentals. Conveniently enough, he dropped a new mixtape last week.
Hosted by Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother and mixed by Cosm Roks, A Change Gon’ Come is a [...]
Gotta love the lousy photoshop. Is that the new Audi that doesn’t cast a shadow?
A new mixtape from New Orleans’ own Curren$y. His chill vibe and smooth voice are the perfect antithesis to your angry east coast rappers and his beat selection is always on point. I was worried when his last mixtape, the west [...]
Maybe he was just having a bad day, but apparently Busta Rhymes got a little miffed at a listening session for his new album I’m Blessed when some journalists weren’t bobbing their heads quite enough.
If you niggas is gonna continue to do that—leave. Fuck the reviews.
Complex had an audio clip of Busta’s outbusrt, but it’s [...]
I’d really like to hate on this guy (Lil’ Boosie sounds like either a new hip malt beverage or one of those nicknames lame people have for their pets), but I can’t deny some fiyah when I here it. Check the myspace here.
I’m off to crack a dutch to this; I suggest a [...]
Between Wale, Bless 1, Blu & Exile, Jay Electronica, and The Knux the future of hip-hop isn’t lookin too shabby. Heres a new mixtape from the recent interscope signee Wale, brought to you by DJ Maf.
Plus some preview videos for the W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. track off of 100 miles and runnin’ here and here.
Download (rar): Wale-The [...]
