Busy Signal - Hottt ED Turf!!!




































It has a Major Lazer connection, he's on it or something. This was posted back in January, but who cares? You prolly never heard it.

The Hood Internet - The Mixtape Volume Four




































I'm sure everyone's got it, but I'm throwing a link up anyway.



Mux Mool - Viking Funeral EP





































An oldie but goodie. Has P.O.S. and Prof on it, for you MPLS geeks.

King Otto - Guru tribute



King Otto has done again. I'm glad I started paying closer attention to his links on Facebook, he posts mixtapes all the freakin' time. Here's one he did last week honoring the late great Guru.

King Otto - Studyin' 120

Download it

Nerve & DJ Arkitekt - The American Lowlife LP





























Not a mixtape, but it's getting released as one, so I'll treat it as such.

Matching Wits Talks to Teenager Vol. 1






































































They've got talent, and one dude kinda raps like Del a bit. BUT...please don't just rhyme over popular songs, and call it a mixtape. I don't know, I guess when the bigger rappers flip beloved tracks it seems alright. Here, it just seems like copyright infringement.

Afrika Bambaataa

Here's a (belated) review (if you can call it that) of the Afrika Bambaataa show. I wrote it in a rush last week. I hate reporting on some shows, because they turn out completely different than I intended, and it really sucks. That's how I felt this night. Reminded me of being at Coolio.
