New Tape: Yours Truly 2 - J. Cole

Yesterday, I dropped J. Cole's latest track, Cold Summer. Now, I introduce to you, J. Cole's new mixtape, Yours Truly 2. If your a true fan then, you will appreciate this project. What I love about J. Cole is that he stays true to himself. Giving you consious lyrics over mello, dope beats. This is the time that I would give you my bangers but, every track flows consistently and J. Cole is delivering every time.

New Release: Will Power -Will.i.am

If you are into the techno upheaval and hyped house beats then this is the album for you. Will.i.am's Will Power makes me feel like I'm at a rave club in Vegas, high on E.

Filled with trans beats and electro sounds, this album is sure to have you fist pumping in the most unfamiliar places.

Bangers:
Track 3: This is Love Ft. Eva Simmons
Track 4: Scream & Shout Ft. Britney Spears
Track 5: Let's Go Ft. Chris Brown
Track 6: Gettin Dumb Ft. apl.de.ap (Best Track)

Under The Influence Tour

I have to say, this has got to be one the best summer for tours. This week Wiz Khalifa's Under the Influence  tour was announced with Wiz and A$AP Rocky headlining. The roster is an interesting mix, artist and cities the same. Other artist that are set to perform are: B.O.B., Trinidad Jame$, Joey BadAss and ProEra. This mix kinda gives me hyped and 90s at the same time, if your familiar with the artist.

Look for this tour in a city near you!

P.S. There will be a few appearances from some Taylor Gang artist like: Chevy Woods, Berner, Smoke DZA.

...and if your not familiar with these artist, I have their most recent mixtape for FREE DOWNLOAD after the jump... (No Wiz, no A$AP albums)

New Tracks: Funk Flex-Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?

Last week, I dropped two songs from Funk Flex 50+ track mixtape from, 2 Chainz and Schoolboy Q. Now, it is available to you in full. This mixtape reminds me of the mixtapes sold back in the day that the bootleggers made. You could ride to that tape all day. Funk really put the essence back in mixtapes with this one. A couple of videos should be in order from this project.

Now, I would name the bangers off this project but, due to the massive number of tracks on this, I rather not. You be the judge of what are the bangers and ...the hangers.

FREE DOWNLOAD is available from this link.

Little Known Mixtape Tracks: Mar & The Internet - seeing purplre ladies naked

Sometimes chopped and screwed tracks can be annoying and very tiresome to listen to. DJ Mr. Rodgers, a Houston Texas based DJ that has hosted mixtapes for some of Houston biggest artist like, Slim Thug and LES, is giving you a slowed up Neo Soul type groove with his wind down tracks entitled, Mar & The Internet - seeing purple ladies naked. If your not into the whole chopped and screwed tracks then, this project may be a consideration to the ears. This is one of those mixtapes that you can just close your eyes and just...escape.

I would usually have a track list of "the bangers" but, the flow is so great that I don't think there is a track worth skipping.

Here is a snippet of one of the tracks off the mixtape entitled, Her Past...

Just click the name to link a FREE DOWNLOAD of the mixtape.

New release: Indicudi

   
An instrumental sound space is one way to describe Kid Cudi's new album Indicud which was released yesterday.This is the first album solely under his Wicked Awesome label. Cudi is staying true to his intricate indie sound. After listening to this album multiple times, I can truly say this a good project because I haven't skipped a track yet. Now for all you G.O.O.D. Music riders, the first 100,000 copies of Indicud will have the G.O.O.D. Music stamp on it because, Cudi did leave the label still under contract but the re-release will not have the label's stamp on it. If you are into album art, like myself, then you will appreciate all of the Kanye-esque art work. Enough about that, lets get into the bangers of the CD...

 Bangers:
Track 1: Resurrection of Scott Mesc (Intro)
Track 2: Unfuckwittable
Track 3: Just What I Am
Track 6: Immortal
Track 8: Girls (HOT SHX!!!!)
Track 10: Red Eye
Track 16: Cold Blooded
Track 17: Afterwards (HOT SHX!!!!)

I would give you the feature collabs but they are very surprising beside the few from King Chip. Indicud is available for download. Just click on the album title at the top.

Enjoy.
