After coming through the Bean (first time ever) over the weekend for Statik Selektah’s release party, Mr. UGK drops this decidedly modest mixtape through Rap-A-Lot and LRG. Check the link for pics from the Statik listening party at Concepts in Cambridge. Shouts to Frank the Butcher, Statik and the good folks at Concepts and Traffic/Brick [...]

KRS and Buckshot: The Covers
Posted on January 28, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Free Download, Hip Hop | 2 Comments
Though there’s generally nothing worse than hip-hop cover albums, I assure you that this homage to KRS and Buckshot is better than this and this combined. I guess the Rage joint wasn’t so bad, but you know what I’m saying…
1) Survival Kit (Intro) by DJ Sherazta
2) Gotcha Opin Original (RMX) – Tanya Morgan (produced by [...]
Disc Review: Fresh Vetz (Dashah + DJ Pause) | “Vet Status”
Posted on January 28, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Free Download, Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
It’s a bright sign for hip-hop when at least three promising subterranean sluggers ride flows comparable to that of the almighty Nas. Those select artists would be California youngster Fashawn, Lawrence rhyme pugilist Reks, and Long Island rapper Dashah, the last of whose Fresh Vetz collaboration with producer DJ Pause is the latest in a [...]
FREE MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD from Stu Bangas and Vanderslice
Posted on January 27, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Boston Hip-Hop, Free Download, Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
Ah – a free mixtape for download that isn’t on every other hip-hop blog. Or maybe it is – whatever – I don’t know. Stu Bangas is one of the most promising young producers on the East Coast; dude has ripped joints for a roster of Babygrande artists, not to mention just about every Boston [...]
Diplo Slums with Gucci Mane
Posted on January 12, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Free Download, Hip Hop | 2 Comments
In the tradition if skilled dudes ironically messing with no-talent fuck clowns, Philly beat scientist Diplo has invited all his hipster buddies to remix tracks from the Gucci Mane Cold War mixtape series.
This is maddening on several levels – starting with the fact that I’m sure Mr. Mane has no clue what the Cold War [...]
FREE Crown Royale (Buff1 + Rhettmatic) Mixtape. Get It Now – After Everyone Else Did.

Still cleaning out the old in-box, and it seems there are a few goodies left. This one should be of particular interest to hip-hop heads in search of complimentary fire – so you’re welcome, even though we’re posting it after every other blog that’s worth a damn.
Buff1 – in case you didn’t know – is [...]
Some Free Downloads Out of Boston – J. C.I.T.Y. and WMS the Sultan
Posted on January 3, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Boston Hip-Hop, Free Download, Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
Before promos came via download, critics and reviewers would barley get any music in December. I suppose the logic was that it would get lost in the holiday shuffle – which it probably would. Like these almost did.
But since tracks come digitally now, these past few weeks have brought a steady flow of notable goods. [...]
FREE DOWNLOAD: Look Ahead with Reflection Eternal
Posted on January 2, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Free Download, Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
Whether Nas, AZ, or M.O.P.; when the pros need someone to compile a mixtape that lubricates fans for their proper releases, they call Statik Selektah. This time he got a ring from Hi-Tek and Kweli.
Regardless of how much Talib has slipped since Quality and Train of Thought, this is an exciting moment. For my ears [...]
“Somehow, Someway” Remix from Law & Order
Posted on December 29, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Free Download, Hip Hop | 2 Comments
Before the year ended I wanted to direct one and all to the Law & Order mixtape by Big Willie Green and NASA. Shit is sick – for proof just peep this fly fucking remix of one of the greatest Organized Konfusion cuts ever known to alien-kind. Mixtape recommended for anyone who has yet to [...]
A Healthy Holiday Helping of Termanology
Posted on December 29, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Boston Hip-Hop, Free Download, Hip Hop | 9 Comments
While some of us had our hip-hop hustles on hold for the holidays, it seems Termanology was in the laboratory. Dude has surpassed just about everybody in the prolific rhymes department – including that sucker who considers himself the top dog but who really makes junk music with the son of some guy who molested [...]
When Def Jam Was Just That
Posted on December 29, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Free Download, Hip Hop | 4 Comments
Upon seeing my spiel last week about how Jay-Z fucked up Def Jam, JTTS friend and occasional accomplice Enig sent over a link to remind us what sort of powerhouse the integral imprint once was.
Hopefully some of you are old enough to remember the Survival of the Illest series, which came on three free green [...]
FREE DOWNLOAD: D-Tension Beats Christmas
Posted on December 13, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Boston Hip-Hop, Free Download | 2 Comments
Obviously the worst thing about Christmas has to be the music. I die a little every time “Frosty” comes on, and I literally walk out of restaurants if they refuse my request to change the station.
Still – there’s a small corner in my atheist heart that appreciates hip-hop Christmas jams. I suppose it’s because rap [...]
