K. Sparks and Pajozo comprise the duo Definition. Here’s their free album Definition which features the song "Definition". Yeah.
In all seriousness, Queens rapper K. Sparks and Swedish producer Pajozo make a pretty slick duo. They have a jazzy sound which at times is reminiscent of Pete Rock production from the CL days. Some songs are kind of generic, but the album (mixtape?) is solid for the most part.

I actually haven’t heard this yet since my internet is fucked with a tiny download capacity, but trust if it’s Illmind, then it’s dope. Great selection of recent Illmind produced tracks. I’m impressed by the way he and Jake One balance the mainstream with the underground. An example to follow, to be sure. Oh, and Illmind has a blog, but you already knew that.

Looky here, Charles Hamilton. I secretly wish Will Smith would come be my best friend and hook me up with the girl of my dreams just as much as the next guy. But Hitch is not an appropriate movie to sample. Scarface? Yes. The Godfather? Sure. Seinfeld? If you do it right, yes. But randomly throwing in lines from Hitch is off limits unless you’re a pioneering oddball genius like RZA.
Um, oh yeah. Dude dropped another mixtape. This one is all Dilla beats and Charles keeps the rhymes nice. It’s a quickie though. After the eighth track, it’s all instrumentals. The second mixtape in the Hamiltonization Process. Whatever, at least he doesn’t constantly pimp his websites like before.
New joints from some of my favorites as well as other recent tracks. I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this, but the Blu, Curren$y and Stimuli tracks convinced me. If you want to show someone what hip-hop is about right now, link them to Metal Lungies. If they aren’t rocking with the Internet yet, give them a copy of this mixtape. DJ Nice, what’s good?

Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother just dropped a dope mixtape with production from Nottz, J Dilla, Khrysis, Focus, 9th Wonder, Illmind and Tha Bizness. Never having been a fan of Little Brother, I was surprised to hear Pooh holding it down lyrically. Oh, and "Plastic Cups" is now the official beer pong anthem.
Any mixtpae with Super Mario World on the cover is cool by me. I first heard NandoMcflyy, a DC rapper, on a song with Wale where there went in over some acoustic guitar. His mixtape is plenty more guitars and it sounds pretty good. I’ve been liking a few guys out of DC recently: Wale of course, X.O. and now Nando.
But dude gets a definite ‘fuck you’ for the song "Ash" which contains a sample that is just plain wrong. Not going to say what it is, but here’s a clue. It might even be worse than Charles Hamilton’s "Windows Media Player" track. Hate aside, check him out.

New mixtape from the Sonic the Hedgehog loving Internet rapper Charles Hamilton. Good looks on having Shadow on the cover, because everyone loved that game.
Shit is kinda fresh. “Windows Media Player” is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard though.
Peace to smokeYYY

Hosted by the homie Statik Selektah, Appreciate the Hate is a NY mixtape in the classic sense of the word. It’s got hot verses from every underground NY rapper who’s never gonna blow and genuinely funny skits (the blogs one made me smile). On top of that, the tape is very polished and leaves the annoying DJ shit at the door. It also features the Joell Ortiz murder victim, "Brooklyn Let’s Go!".
The Madd Rapper/D-Dot’s relevance to NY hip-hop is often overlooked and at the end of the tape, there’s a bunch of his OG shit: rare Bad Boy tracks, the "Stir Crazy" track with Eminem and even "How to Rob". This tape is like a trip through old New York.

Busta Rhymes has really surprised me with the quality of his music these days and I’m eagerly anticipating Blessed, which is supposedly tied up with sample clearance issues. Today’s Busta isn’t as goofy as he was in the old days, but he’s still more fiery on the mic than today’s average screwface monotone rapper. Game drops in with a great verse and the long forgotten thong aficionado Sisqo shows up on a song called “Hump On You”. Dudes in Busta’s camp like Show Money and Reek Da Villain supply him with solid verses here and there too.
