Cookin Soul-The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: A Tribute to Gil Scott-Heron
I usually hate all tributes but I’ve never ran across a Cookin Soul project that I didn’t like. Download below.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
The Weeknd-Rolling Stone
My guess is this is the first single from his upcoming mixtape. I’m not sure
The 100 Best Nas Songs [via Complex]
Complex mag (my dream job fyi, tell someone who knows someone who knows them) created a pretty good list of Nas’ top 100. Check out the list here while I give you my top 10.
Get Familiar (Alternative Edition)
Get Familiar Pt. 1 was all hip hop so now it’s time to catch you up on some alternative/R&B artists
Frank Ocean
Jhene Aiko
The Weeknd
Melo-X
Jesse Boykins III
Theophilus London
Stephen A. Clark
J*Davey
Evil Christian Cop/Boudoir Synema
Pt 2 will basically have everybody else I left off. Enjoy
Cutlass Reid-One Day at a Time
I really had no knowledge of this Virginia mc until today, but a co-sign from 9th Wonder and The Roots always helps. This album is worth a listen. Download below.
jayDOTrain-Langston Hughes
I dig this video because you get to see a lot of Tuscaloosa post-storm. Follow him (@jayDotrain). Also be on the lookout for a project in August.
No Suh Foster-Dead Presidents Freestyle
This is one of my top 5 favorite tracks of all time, and (@No_SuhFoster) did the beat justice (many have failed by the way). Also the mp3 is available below along with his album Above the Influence which I discovered a few weeks back.
Killer Mike-Pl3dge Review
First there was the fall-off. Then there was the album release that was a struggle to maintain relevance. Following that, the album that put him back on top and found him a new home at Grand Hustle. Now we’re here.
Fabolous & Young Jeezy-Rollin
Fabolous and your favorite rapper currently on the injury-reserve list (get well soon Jeezy) hop on this Gunplay/Lex Luger track.
Boldy James-Trapper’s Alley
New album from Cool Kids affiliate Boldy James. Download below.
Trapper’s Alley
UPDATE: Apparently these links went out prematurely. Get the FULL mixtape here.
Rapsody-Extra Extra featuring Mac Miller
Rapsody (my new favorite female emcee) teams up with Mac Miller (my favorite muppet) for the first single off her upcoming album, Thank H.E.R. Now.
PREVIOUS: Return of the B-Girl
J. Cole-Return of Simba
This >>>> disgusting. I can’t even capitalize that song. Cole World coming…”soon”.
Extraordinary…a love story
This “beat tape” is from David L. aka (@Chico_Spielberg) and it uses the music to tell a story about love. Check it out. Link down below.
C-San-Game Time
New album from West-Coaster C-San. Features include Casey Veggies, Skeme, and Overdoz.
