Mixtape Madness: Exile- Intro To The Outro

I've always found Exile to be a fairly underrated producer. His work with Blu & Fashawn is oh so epic. Now he's back with a brand new mixtape called Intro To The Outro. This time around we get a few features from MF Doom, Fashawn, Co$$, & Blu. The link is at the bottom.

Mixtape Madness: Cyhi The Prynce- Jack Of All Trades

Ahh peep the meaning of the album title. "laughs". Cyhi The Prynce is back just two months after his "Royal Flush II" mixtape with Jack Of All Trades. Instead of making the album-formatted mixtape like his "Royal Flush" series, Cyhi decided to do some jacking for beats and rhyme over some old and new bangers. It's a pretty good listen if you just really wanted some nice bars.

Mixtape Madness: Lil B- I Forgive

I swear that Lil B is pulling a straight okey doke on everybody. All that dumb and off rhyming is just a ploy to pull you into his shit. He's proved it so many times with his recent music. Look at "Illusions of Grandeur" tape and his "I'm Gay" album. You can't deny that both of them proved to be some pretty solid material. I guess that preachy ass opening was leading in to the fact that Based God has just dropped a new tape called "I Forgive You". This tape is a good mixture of his random, dumb rhymes and thought out more lyrical projects. If you're not a fan of Lil B, you won't like it. If you are, here's your Based God fix. It's good to see him stay busy, seeing as "I'm Gay" dropped a month or two ago.

Uncut Dope: Phonte Feat. Elzhi- Not Here Anymore

I am so happy that Phonte and 9th Wonder were able to patch up their differences and make music again. I'm even happier that Phonte is dropping a new album next month (Definitely one of my favorite rappers). On this Not Here Anymore leak, Phontigalo brought along Slum Vill's Elzhi to drop something you'd expect from the former Little Brother MC. Some hot and intricate beats over a nice Rose Royce sample makes this one a pretty killer track. "The Charity Starts At Home" will be out on September 27th.

Mixtape Madness: Curren$y- Verde Terrance

Spitta has been WAY too busy this year. After countless projects, he's now teamed up with DJ Drama to release Verde Terrence. More and more weed raps for you ride and get high too. There really isn't much more to say except I love The Jets.

Uncut Dope: Young Jeezy Feat. Freddie Gibbs- Rough

Young Jeezy is really making an effort to get back to his massive stastus that he had back in 05. He's been dropping some pretty solid shit lately. A new track, Rough, just dropped, and it's continuing to elevate that comeback musically speaking. His recent CTE signee, Freddie Gibbs also makes a cameo and drops some killer bars on it. The Thug Motivation series' third installment is dropping on September 20th. In the meantime, you can get ready for the release of "The Real Is Back 2".

The Scoop: Josh Swish

One of my favorite things to do is to stumble upon a new artist before they become big. There are so many talented people out there that are making some really good stuff, but they just get lost in the big shuffle somehow. Yesterday, I found Josh Swish, a rapper that's been making some pretty major noise in Seattle. Josh covers the main topics of fly rhymes, love, and most of all, weed. Yesterday, Mr. Swish dropped his most recent EP, ,Love Swish. Love Swish is all about some smooth tracks full of nothing more than the l word. If you want some more info, hit up his twitter, twitter.com/joshswish , or hit his bandcamp page that's posted at the bottom.
