Freddie Gibbs – Str8 Killa, No Filla (Untagged)

The latest mixtape offering from Gangsta Gibbs is now available DJ-free (however it does not include any of the tracks that feature on the “Str8 Killa EP”), if you haven’t checked out Freddie yet then download this and have a listen, the way he skilfully strings his words together is like a complex musical solo, and the harsh melancholic tales of ghetto living really evoke emotion. This is just gangsta rap, however its all of the best bits of gangsta rap all performed excellently.

Buff 1 – Ghosting

This project sees Buff1 rap over alternative tracks that inspire him. Interestingly all of the tracks remain unedited and have not been sampled or cut-up; Buff1 simply raps where there is space for him. The title is inspired by Ghostface, who’s track “Holla” sees him rap over the Delphonics track “La-la Means I Love You”, as well as the children’s game in which one must follow another undetected whilst mimicking them as closely as possible.

Inspired by tracks from Portishead, The Beatles, Hudson Mowhawke and more…

Curtiss King – Jet Pack On E

About the project:

On the brand new project, the man who brought us “Big Drums Come Knockin” and “Snick At Nite” makes his return to the mic following a period of focusing on production. The mixtape’s 14 tracks find King sharing his experiences as a multi-talented musician on the verge of hitting it big, while nonetheless feeling the recession’s effects on his finances

In a departure from many of his recent projects, Curtiss King takes a backseat on the production tip, enlisting the services of such beatsmiths as Tae Beast, Jansport J, Willie B, Captain, Ayiro and Jbizness. Guest features come courtesy of Ab-Soul, Stevie Crooks, Lite (Coolroy), Richard Wright, Noa James, Hawdwerk, Ill Camille, Raven Sorvino, Finess, and more.

Educated Consumers – Summer Sampler 2010

We got the latest from Educated Consumers. It’s a miniature mixtape titled Summer Sampler 2010 and was released in hopes to hold you all over until their next album.

From the creators:

Nothing says “summer” like sweaty fast rap, noise with a bearded beast, the world ending in flames, and a shattered heart complaining for the last time.

Cole on the raps.
Jason on the beats.
Mitch makes some motherfuckin’ noise.
Goersch creates some ash.

Breez Evahflowin – As He Goes In…

From Breez Evahflowin:

Most of the people I’m cool with are really good at whatever it is they do. In that I’ve been fortunate enough to have made the acquaintance of DJ Rob Swift. A few months back I reached out to Rob and asked if he could recommend any DJ’s, I was looking for a person or crew to put together my Mixtape promoting the “As He Goes On…” LP dropping this fall. He referred me to The Buck 50 Kutter DJs.

On that note I’d like to publicly thank Rob.

A few months prior I had been blessed with the opportunity to rock with these guys at Rob’s record release party (“the Architect” out now [on] amazon ). These were true Turntablist and I was way impressed. I didn’t want to run that old ‘do it for the love’ song and dance so I didn’t reach out to them. Upon Mr Swift’s  recommendation I called the Kutters and they showed love. Out of respect for their time and effort, I left them to do what ever they felt with the 45 songs I gave them.

What manifested in a surprisingly short time later is what I’d like to share with you now.

Of course I love it, you would too if it were your songs in their hands . It’s that feeling of creating a part of something and giving it to a team that can bring out it’s potential. They found a story in the songs and told it in a way no one else could. This is beat juggling,  precise cuts and fly rhymes on a 52 minute non-stop DJ/MC showcase.

A sincere Thank you to Dre Mayes, D’ Official and Dopeman, the Buck 50 Kutter DJs.

You all deserve to be heard.

We gotta do this live one day…

And coming this Fall from Domination Recordings and Little Ax Media… Breez Evahflowin, As He Goes On
