Summertime Hip Hop Mixtape!! Thanks DeeJay KMEO


Chaz Van Queen is always cooking up something new

So I have been sitting on a collection of indie/underground rap that has come out this summer for a bit and wanted to make a mixtape of it. Since it’s now August, it’s time to make it hot. Not only is Summerslam right around the corner, but we are dropping this hot fire live DJ mix for you guys for free!!! I had my friend DeeJay KMEO(I was one of his basketball coaches in high school. I’m old.) come over and load all of these tracks onto his laptop, he set up the cue points, and I hit record. This is the result.

The mix includes songs by Hail Mary Mallon, the Rapdragons , Illustrate, Atmosphere, Heems, a couple of remixes off of Lyfstyl’s latest compilation, Grieves, Recess, and most importantly 2 previously unreleased tracks from Chaz Van Queen. That means we have an exclusive on our hands!!!! Another step towards legitimacy!!!! You can download the tape here or stream it from our Mixcloud account below.

Hey, what am I supposed to grab if I love hip hop?

Oh yeah, that's what I grab. Thanks for reminding me, Julio!

I’ve posted about Aesop Rock before, so if you’ve been keeping track, you know that I’m a fan. Anyway, he just came out with an album as part of the group HailMary Mallon with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Whiz. Thealbum is awesome and their song Garfield just got remixed by Edison. Check out the remix and then the original version below:

Hail Mary Mallon – Garfield(Edison bent remix)

Here is the original so you can compare the two:

If you like Edison’s take, head over to 900bats.com where you can download an instrumental EP produced by him for free.

Atmosphere recently released an album on the same Rhymesayers label that Hail Mary Mallon is on. Here’s the first single they released from Family Sign.

Atmosphere – She’s Enough

Grieves’ album “Together/Apart” is due out June 21st and a few of his tracks have already been released to listen/download. On the track “On the Rocks” Grieves has a sing songy delivery that is a bit white Nate Dogg and sounds a bit laid back jazz-ish. On “Blood Poetry” he has a straightforward rap delivery and the instrumental features a jazzy piano. I like jazz.

Speaking of jazz, Eyedea was part of a project called “Face Candy” before he left this world. It’s live hip hop completely with a drummer and bass player. Live improv lounge singer rap from one of the best emcees ever.

Face Candy – Fifteen
