Free mix tapes aren't strictly the domain of up and coming artists these days. Yep, the veterans know the importance of giving out some good free stuff, too. And today I have two freebies from some old dogs that are well worth a check out. First off the rank is Showbiz & AG, with the D.I.T.C. kingpins warming up the masses for their impending LP Mug Shot Music by dropping a mix a preloaded mix tape.

Seems like it was just yesterday, Showbiz & A.G. were hanging out in abandoned warehouses trafficking soulclaps from money in front of fellow D.I.T.C. member Fat Joe's graffiti like in the video below: Click here to view the embedded video. MP3: Showbiz & AG - The Bond ( okayplayer ) Now here are Show & A 23 years later with, the Bond, a song that goes through [...]
After growing up surrounded by hip-hop, in my late teens I moved to a place where underground hip-hop heads were scarce, and I primarily had to rely on myself to find under-the-radar emcees and producers. Without much in the form of exterior stimulation, I used mixes as a way to listen closer to new musical finds. I made a number of mixes in the tape era, but with the first CD-burner I purchased in '98 or so, hip-hop mixes for myself became routine. They were quickly assembled and provided with no tracklist; simply labeled in numeric order starting with "Mix [...]
It's been 10 years since Lamont 'Big L' Coleman was tragically gunned down in New York City, just as he was really beginning to come into his own. Now, Rap Radar is reporting that Dangerzone Films is putting together a documentary on his life and times, named Street Struck: The Big L Story. Don't run screaming for the exits just yet, though; this looks like it has some potential.

I've got two fresh mix tapes to help you get into gear today, including a dub and bass-heavy session from Major Lazer, and some smack you in the face and steal your Starter cap hip hop from NYC legends Wu Tang Clan and D.I.T.C. What more could you ask for to start the week? First up, the mystical Major Lazer joins forces with clothing label Mishka to lay down the tenth mix in the Keep Watch series, stringing together a rapid-fire set that takes in top notch electronic-tinged reggae, dancehall and dubstep.

I remembers the first time I heard Greyboy . Yep, back to Sexual Chocolate. That video was hot full of esoteric secret handshake knowledge that I'll reference for the rest of my life. Cuts straight made the credits the best part of the video (I love watching credits b/c thats when they throw in all the odd footage, its like the inside joke part of videos). I ran straight to my mom and had her drive me to the nickle spot to buy Greybreaks (vol 1) , Dub Breakbeats (1.0) , and greyboy allstars ( [...]
Mon médecin est formel, j'ai de nouveau une poussée de fièvre hip hop, une rechute ! ça revient régulièrement, inclination & inclinaison de ma tête, de mon corps et de mon coeur... Mon pourvoyeur de beats officiel, mon archéologue maison, que vous lisez parfois en commentaires, aka Sonny, se charge de me sortir des arrière-cours sudistes, pour prendre un peu l'air de la rue. Je croule sous les
