A bit late in posting this mixtape but better late than never. One of the hardest working artists from the Forest City Richie Blackz just released his mixtape La Vie. I have to give props to Richie and his team on the work they have been putting in on a consistent basis.

Make sure to look out for La Vie clothing and accessories!! Preview the mixtape below on soundcloud and download link is available.

New shit from De La, yes please. Sounds like a concept album from Dave and Pos due in a couple months.

“Due to hit the streets in April 2012, the ‘First Serve’ album, made with acclaimed French production team 2 & 4 (aka Chokolate & Khalid), tells the story of two dreamers in a basement struggling to start their musical career, the battles they face, through to the point that they eventually release their debut single, ‘make it big’ and their hard work and persistence finally pays off. As we know that is rarely where the story ends and the story of ‘First Serve’ is no different. Taking place in an animated world that could have been imagined by Hawley Pratt on Magic Mushrooms, the high spirited and often hilarious journey is pure old school hip-hop; skits, disco, beats, funk, quips, burns and hustlin’ all included.”

Who is Phil Ade? He’s from DC, which is home to Wale and he is also part of Raheem Devaughn’s 368 Music group. I’m personally catching up on this guy with all the music he has previously released before A Different World. That’s when I got put on to Phil Ade this past summer since then I’ve been going back to see what else he has released, I discovered #PhilAdeFriday a week or so ago and another mixtape before that The Letterman which I haven’t downloaded yet. Then Phil Ade just released #PhilAdeFriday2 which is his latest project so I had to share that with you. Don’t sleep on this dude 2012 will be his come up year!!

He also just released a music video with Casey Veggies titled “P.O.P. Music” which you can find on the #PhilAdeFriday2 mixtape.

When a DJ spends two months recording and editing a mixtape as an appreciation for Jay-z you know The Come Up Show has to show love. I’m about to head to the gym and bump this check out the tracklisting below and intro by M-Rock. Artwork by Jordan England.

What more can I say? Welcome to my 4th creation in my “best of” mixtape series. This tape features every aspect of DJing that I can think of. The idea came to me after the Kanye tape dropped, lying in bed thinking “it’s 25 years since HP gets busy (his first recording), I could package this in a unique way”. And because his music is laced in my live sets, I had a few live routines ready. A 2-month recording/editing process was needed to select Jay’s best work and add much better routines. This is what the intro looks like on the editing screen. DJ M-Rock.

The Screenshot below is just the intro track looks bananas!!

Check the full post to see the tracklisting!!

I was at the Ghostface Killah show when the mixtape was released. It’s safe to say every fan will be listening to EOS over the holiday season.

Wow outta nowhere Shad drops a mixtape, its very rare to see Shad do this but not all tracks are new. Check out Shad’s explanation below.

here’s a little joint I thought some fans might like; a 25-minute mix of some of the guest spots I’ve done on other projects over the past couple of years. Mixed by my man, the former DMC and Scribble Jam Champion, DJ TLO. Be sure to check out the tracks in full if you dig! Shouts to dj t lo for always holding it down… had to leave many of my favourite collabs off this mix purely for the sake of brevity. which means i have a feeling we’ll be back with another mix very soon… thanks a million times for listening!
