Fear and Loathing in HuntsVegas

Mad Decent is releasing the full Fear and Loathing in HuntsVegas Mixtape in a matter of weeks. This is a mixtape compilation of cats off of the Paper Route Recordz label, who i've been really excited about recently.

Anyways, Diplo and Benzi released this sampler with Urb Magazine a while back. However, as we are getting close to the drop date (Nov 18, via Elitaste), thought id stir up a little excitement. Plus, its just a great little 16 min mix. Check it

Triple Feature

Ive got three things for ya. First up, Immuzikation threw up a new track on his myspace. Its a remix of Drop it Like its Hot, and its a thing of beauty. Head over and check it out on his page.

Next up, Paper Route Gangstaz started up a site yesterday, located here. In case you dont know, theyre a label out of Huntsville, Alabama. They have quite a few powerhouses on their roster, and are releasing a mixtape soon, 'Fear and Loathing in HuntsVegas', complete with awesome themed cover art.


Back to the website. The site features a few free songs to download, all great. My personal fav is the track from X.O.

X.O. - Grind Baby (ft. CeeCee)

Also, if your as much a fan as I was, elitaste.com put up a mixtape a little while back. Allow me to link it.

X.O. - The Takeover Pt 2 (Mixtape)

Ok, im almost out of steam, but Monday one of my favs, AC, dropped a little contest on the blogsphere. He put up like 2 grand worth of clothes to the first ten ppl to download 20 exclusive freestyles from 20 different blogs.

I of course spent like an hour rounding up the tracks, and hopefully ill get my hands on some outfits. But, if not, at least i have twenty freestyles to console myself with. And so do you! Ill put em all in a zip and send em over.

AC - Attack of the Blogs 20 Freestyles

Rock it

3 Bands fo tha day

As the title would suggest, i ran across no less than three new bands. and since i am studiously avoiding writing a longer in depth artist review of some cats that deserve it (ill put one up soon, promise), ill drop a few tracks and links for ya.


First up is Circuit Freq, who are a couple of dudes out of Cali, who recently got featured on Discodust (read: im stealing to spread the love), and whos title track (and the only track on their myspace), 'Black Chrome', is a nasty nasty track. Fortunately for all of you out there, There are live links all over the place. Here it is!

Circuit Freq - Black Chrome

Next up is Mata aka the Dreadman. Hes a cat i ran into while surfin myspace. more specifically, the Paper Route Gangstaz label myspace. Mata is from Detroit, but raised on the streets of Selma, Alabama. His raps are great, as well as the Dj work. Rock it

Mata aka the Dreadman - 10 bo's

PS. I suggest running over to the dudes myspace, some of his other tracks showcase his rapping much better, but thats the only live link i could find.


Ok last for the day. Sunny Day Sets Fire. As if the picture wasnt great enough, CSS dropped a sick remix of their track 'Wilderness'. Its baller. I mean, if these kids can get away with flying on a paper crane, AND they can get CSS to take on their shit, theyve got to have something going for them. And indeed they do. They were recently put up on URB's top 1000 Movers. Apparently their goin somewhere. Like right out your speakers and into your ears. Enjoy

Sunny Day Sets Fire - Wilderness (CSS Remix)

Ok before i sign off, two side notes. URB is promoting Wale with some free hat love. and when i say free hat love, i mean like i really really want this hat. i dunno who wouldnt. Heres a pic.


Nasty? Ill say. Just like Mickey Avalon's new track dropped on his myspace. Its called 'Story of my Life'. I dig it, and so should you. While on the subject of Mickey Av, hes droppin a new album soon, should be good.

Alright, before i ramble any more, im out
peace
