9th Wonder & Murs – Sweet Lord

Here’s the new 9th Wonder & Murs mixtape. It’s only 10 tracks, but I have a feeling that this won’t let you down. I still haven’t listened to it yet, I just copped this about 3 minutes ago from MixFiend.

Yak Ballz – Scifentology 1 & 2

I was chillin at my boys house last night blazin and wandering through the universe that is YouTube, when he showed me the below video.

I was definitely impressed. I wish I could say I hadn’t been sleeping on dude, but I’ll just keep quiet. As I’m typing this I’m making my way through these 2 albums, Scifentology 1 & 2. There are a couple more of his earlier albums floating around that I’ll try and get up if people seem to be interested.

If you don’t want to download the albums, at least check this track.

Yak Ballz – Glory Days Gone

Both albums’ tracklists and download links are after the jump.

Pete Philly & Perquisite – Remindstate

Lately, Pete Philly & Perquisite have skyrocketed to the tops of my playlists. I randomly lay awake at night and wonder how I could have lived for so long without knowing about this duo. What the hell is wrong with me? Well, a lot, but that’s not important. Check out this remix album of PP&P’s debut, Mind.State.

BRB

Sorry I’ve been slackin on the posts lately. It’s been a birthday week for me, which basically means I’ve been drinking and smoking way more than I probably should be. In the next couple of days I’m gonna get back on my posting game so check back for the illness. I’ll leave you with a couple videos. 

 

Kanye West – Freshman Adjustment

The above album/mixtape is one of the many reasons that I became a fan of Mr. West. Some of these still remain some of my favorite Kanye tracks. Full tracklist and download links are after the jump, but i threw up my 2 favorite tracks off this album for people to get a taste of what to expect, kind of.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

My Way

Common – Like Water For Chocolate

I listened to this for the first time in a while this week. It’s definitely one of my favorite Common albums so I figured I’d just throw it up here.

Wale – 100 Miles & Running

Seems like people are feeling that Wale tape I put up yesterday so I figured I’d upload the other tape I had. I think I got this from Breezilla at some point so send your thanks towards her.

The Mixtape About Nothing

Check out the new Wale mixtape.

Masta Ace >

I guess I’ve been on a little bit of a Masta Ace binge lately. I had forgotten about how dope this dude was. Check out these two compilations from him. Volume 1 are a bunch of tracks from 1996-2000 and there are a couple B-sides thrown in as well. Volume 2 is different and features collaborations and mixtape tracks with the man himself.
