Rapsody - Return of the B-Girl (Mixtape)



Another artist that 9th put his stamp on. Solid project for sure! With production from 9th on several tracks and features such as Phil Ade, Skyzoo, and Big Daddy Kane. And just the other day i was bitching about the lack of good female rappers... Diggin' the Star Wars theme to the cover.

Must Have Music: Canibus - Niggonometry


The beat alone makes this track "must have music." Something about a flute sample, it just always gets me. Nevertheless, Canibus is nice on the mic too and if you don't believe me, J. Cole will vouch for me. Off his Can-I-Bus (1998) album.

November Mix


That time of the month again! With releases from Kanye West, J. Cole, Kid Cudi, and others; you know it's going to be a good month. You know the process: Download, Burn N Bump!

November Mix!

Illecism - Disregard All Turbulance f. Yae


Some new dope underground. Never heard of either of these guys but the track is nice.


Spice 1 - Rollin' & Smokin' f. 2Pac, Scarface & Devin the Dude


Some new gangsta shit! Makes me want to ride around town with my elbow out the window. I know 2pac is dead but "this the dopest song i eva wrote... in 94'" Well its just a sample but still dope to hear the legend on a track.

Jean Grae - Bridge (Prod. RJD2)


This shit was much needed. The best female rapper over a nice beat by one of the better new age producers. If you haven't heard of either, I suggest you do your research.



Download Bridge

Remy Banks – Clouds f. Marz Lovejoy (Video)



Ran into this randomly. Never heard of these two but Diggin' the old school vibe and crushin on Marz Lovejoy. Hip Hop needs some more solid female emcees and not Nikki Minaj sluts that just make women more of a sex object to men.

1982 (Statik Selektah & Termanology) – The EP (FreEP)


Haven't even given it a listen yet but i'm sure it'll be good. Their album that dropped this october was a classic in my book so i'm sure this will be a solid free project as well.

Must Have Music: Black Eyed Peas


I know what you're thinking... But! as gay as you think Black Eyed Peas are, their first two albums (before Fergie joined the group and turned them into sell outs) are most definitely classics. Here's some tracks off of Behind the Front (1998), and Bridging the Gap (2000).


Download Communication

Download On My Own ft. Mos Def

Pill - Let Somebody Love Me


Normally I don't really like his music, but I'm diggin' this track. Pill is another one of 2010's Freshman (XXL). I guess his heartfelt raps are better than his trap music, which sadly is what the majority of his music consist of.



Nappy Roots - Nappy Holidays


Since it's Thanks Giving, it's only fair I give you a feel good track to get you ready for the holidays.


Download Nappy Holidays

Thee Tom Hardy - The Hardy Boy Mystery Mixtape: Secret of Thee Green Magic


Another emcee that 9th Wonder put his stamp on. Solid emcee from the south.

The Kid Daytona - The Interlude (Mixtape)


Another dope LRG sponsored project. I was actually really looking forward to this one. Daytona spits over samples of interludes you would find in classic albums such as Pete and CL's The Main Ingredient (1994) and Nas' Illmatic (1994). I'll co-sign this one and actually recommend the download.
