DJ Clue: Fallout Part 1 (1996)
I found this mixtape not too long ago while I was cleaning out my closet (Pause!) and, man, did it take me back to that magical year, 1996. I threw it in my tape deck (yes, I still have a tape stereo) and began to reminisce about the abundance of puree (Pronounced Puu-ray) and chocolate that was burned listening to a then unknown rapper spit: “Be larger than life, twice as nice as your idol / pump
DJ Blazita & Serius Jones: The Hard Way
First off, did Serius refer to DJ Blazita as “the top DJ in the game right now as far as the streets is concerned”? Did I miss something? I was on the block all day and ain’t hear anything about Blazita being crowned the mixtape Queen. Did she take ove...
Cory Gunz: The Best Kept Secret
Though he looks like he should still be guzzling Enfamil by the gallons, don’t let the baby looks fool you: Cory Gunz’s lyrical mind frame is light years ahead of most platinum rappers. The offspring of Peter Gunz (He was hot for a few hours in ’97 with his and Lord Tarique’s classic “Déjà vu”) is looking to follow in his pop’s footsteps and make a name for himself in today’s dubious hip-hop game

Sha Stimuli: Hotter Than July
At a time when half of the hip-hop scene has gone commercial, and a portion of the other half is trying to find a way to become mainstream, it’s a breath of fresh air to listen to Sha Stimuli’s Hotter Than July mixtape. You remember that there’s still MC’s that will spit for the heads that burn down blocks instead of buying out bars. Like a hungry MC comin...
Big Mike & DJ Thoro: The Carter After The Carter
I’ll be the first to say that I’m not the biggest Wayne fan in the world. I do give the man his props here and there though, but I took those props back when he said “Fuck mixtape DJ’s.” Did he forget that the 'hood only started taking him serious after DJ Drama dropped Dedication? Which in turn set the stage ...
Amanda Diva: Foreplay
How is this young lady still flyin’ under the radar? Ok, given, she’s never shot her baby sitter, had a crew of shooters dip in her limousine, or kept it G’d up in a court of law and did a bid like a true to the game b*tch. But she can defi...
