The artwork on this tape is unreal, and the music speaks for its own. With the majority of the mixtape being produced by Malish himself, he also enlisted the help of G.C., Gee Wiz, and Dou Tang for a few cuts.

Trackstar The DJ just released his latest mixtape featuring Jay-Z and Lupe Fiasco. This mixtape is similar to the Royce Da 5′9″ and Lil Wayne Best Rapper Alive mixtape he dropped last November; where he creates a dope mix of both emcees spitting over identical beats. Hova and Lupe step in the ring for eleven rounds to see who spit it the best.
I’ve heard all of these songs and can already tell you who wins this fight IMO. I’ll give Lupe “Pressure” and “Sittin Sidewayz,” but that’s it.

Here’s the latest mixtape from Theo Martins (who previously just went by Theo). Mixed by DJ Wreckineyez, this is what Theo had to say about the tape:
“We named this project ‘Channel Surfin’ as it generally represented people and their short attention-spanned nature. Each song serves as a ‘Channel’ each different from the last song and so forth. The goal was to collectively mash them together to create what we have here. My life is such a TV show.?”

HiPNOTT Records introduces Spectac and Amiri’s album Almost Famous (Release Date: April 13, 2010) by bestowing the single “My God” as a 12” EP upon the music masses. This five-track free download is packaged to include the album version, radio edit, instrumental and acapella of “My God” and a b-side, “Ol To New”.
“My God” represents the spirit of the album as a whole. Spectac brings his laid-back, storytelling, poetic style and Amiri’s beat is soulful and innovative but still reminiscent of the Golden Era of hip-hop. Spectac’s chorus holds the message of this track, “This one goes out to all the crews before us, this one goes out to all our fans, this one goes out to all that doubted out, this one goes out, God knows who I am”.
