Sorry for the tardiness, just that time of year. Hope everyone enjoyed Cyber Monday yesterday, i’m sure the pockets got lighter and credit limits increased. Now, it’s time to freshen up those libraries and iPods because Volume 50 is upon us. This week, Joe Budden and Fabolous both dropped mixtapes. Adventure Club crafts up another hypnotizing remix, Big Pooh hops back on the map, Game links up with Wale, French with Cole and T.I. releases his highly anticipated single with 3 Stacks.
Yuna – Lullabies (Adventure Club Remix)
Adventure Club never ceases to amaze me with their diversity within the Dubstep genre. It’s an easy sound to get redundant and stale, but they manage to pick the right tracks to remix, and always keep it fresh.
T.I. – Sorry (feat. André 3000)
This serves as the third official single from the upcoming album Trouble Man, hopefully dropping in a few weeks. 3 Stacks does his thing as per usual, bars, singing, and just has the presence on a track. Produced by Jazze Pha
Joe Budden – Cut From A Different Cloth (feat. Ab Soul)
Budden’s new tape A Loose Quarter is the best project i’ve ever heard from him. This joint has a fitting feature; Black Hippy’s Ab-Soul with a fitting verse over Cardiak’s beat.
Joe Budden – Words Of A Chameleon
It proved more difficult then expected to pick a few favourite tracks off the tape. However, Joe goes in hard over AraabMuzik’s semi-electronic beat.
Joe Budden – All In My Head (feat. Royce Da 5’9 & Kobe)
The third choice is to show the diversity of the mixtape. Budden and Royce both go deep and vulnerable over a piano-ballad type beat from Cardiak.
Nicolas Jaar & Theatre Roosevelt – The Ego
Clown & Sunset records let this collaboration go for free in celebration of Thanksgiving. A very unique, luscious sound from these two.
Big Pooh – Exercise In Futility
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from the former Little Brother rapper Big Pooh. Fat Boy Fresh Vol. 2 on it’s way, for now, this smooth joint will have to hold us over.
Meek Mill – Lay Up (Remix) [feat. Rick Ross, Trey Songz & Jay-Z]
One of my favorite joints off Dreams & Nightmares got an extra verse from one bawse, and a new verse from the other boss.
Fabolous – Life Is So Exciting (feat. Pusha T)
Loso dropped The Soul Tape 2 this week, and I suggest you give the full tape a listen. Pusha gently snaps over this Arsenals beat.
A busy beat from Teddy Da Don, but Loso cools it right off with his classic flow.
French Montana – Diamonds (feat. J. Cole & Rick Ross)
French dropped his Mac & Cheese 3 and it’s definitely not worth a second listen. But oh goodness does Cole snap on this banger from Swizz Beatz. “this should not be televised”
Game continues on with his Sunday Service Vol. 5. Enlisting MMG’s Wale for his silky flow. Produced by Cool & Dre
Produced by Cardo
Wu-Block – Crack Spot Stories (feat. Ghostface Killah, Sheek Louch, Raekwon & Jadakiss)
This is the intro to the latest Wu project Wu-Block, which drops tomorrow, get it on
I’m an avid reader of a blog called theHue. One of the components is a Wake & Beats series, where Ghettotek chops up samples and synths and lets the track go for free. This week he tweaked with Michael Bublé’s “Feeling Good,” it’s incredibly chill and dreamy.
The Presets – Promises (Plastic Plates Remix)
Plastic Plates throws a spin on the Australian duo’s latest single.
Chevy Woods – Neighborhood (feat. Nipsey Hussle)
Promoting his upcoming mixtape Gangland 2, Chevy let go of this one featuring Nipsey Hussle. Produced by Trakksounds
Thanks! I love the weekly updates.
Nice collection! Should of had the Big Boi song “In The A”. But this was a great package.
Absolutely love the Nicolas Jaar & Theatre Roosevelt track. Played it at my gig over the weekend, perfect groove for the lounge.
