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 WayneBest 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.
Spotted and hosted by TSS. Full cover, tracklist and link after the cut.

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.?”
