Its been a year since I started this blogging hobby and since I still haven't given it up, I decided to try a little something different this time around. It feels as though music fans today have short attention spans when it comes to giving new music a chance. People are constantly hungry for new jams and may only listen to 10 seconds of a song before clicking their mouse to move on to the next track. For this reason I had my business partner, Jimbo Slice, mix this end of the month playlist into a single track that is filled with smooth transitions and dope hip hop. If you have the time (a little over 40min), let this track play in its entirety and give every single song that I chose as July's "best of' a chance. If you really give these songs a full listen, then maybe you will see why these songs stuck out for me.
As for the July Mix... Another month full of heaters. July may be remembered for Kendrick Lamar's classic Section.80 album or even Lil B's attempt to shock the music industry with his sudden switch from songs filled with random ignorance, to an album filled with conscious driven material (not to mention his album was titled I'm Gay). But regardless whether it was new comers providing music that the average joe can relate his struggles to, or the legendary Wu-Tang Clan dropping a project that left no fan disappointed, this month was proof that hip hop continues to strive and head in the right direction.

After listening to the mix like it was intended to be heard, add all the tracks to your Itunes here.
