Mixtape Monday: Future Showed Up

Recently putting out Beast Mode, Future shows why he remains relevant in Rap.  Nine-tracks solid, approximately 27 minutes running time, the tape is a nice appetizer (more Spinach Dip than Chicken Wings).  This tape is entirely produced by Zaytoven, has a repeatable verse from Juvenile, and Future talks about fucking twin sisters, why not give it a spin?

Now onto the entree.  MONSTER, released 10/28/14, was undoubtably in my top 5 mixtapes of 2014.  Standing 16 tracks deep, 14 being actual records, 15 if you count Throw Away’s second half, MONSTER is sure to have your full, merely-divided attention.  Executive produced by Metro Boomin, MONSTER is trap elegance, it’s like if you mix Travis Scott & Gucci Mane.  The tape is so fire I have to name my top NON-notable’s because I’ll name damn near every track otherwise.  If you haven’t heard or don’t listen, you sleeping hard. #StayWoke

TOP NON-NOTABLE TRACKS: After That, Wesley Presley, 2 Pac

Young Jefe

 

Since I became a follower of the Shy Glizzy‘s movement, I felt like he would hit…then miss…hit…then miss. Evidently, I just did not understand every move he made because the numbers say he never actually missed.  The hits may not have gotten greater every time, but Young Jefe changed all of that.

Releasing 2/17/2014, 6 months after the second installment of his LAW series, YOUNG JEFE smashed the streets.  After leading with the single, AWWSOME, the project has become one of the best of the year…in the nation.  Now, I don’t know where you from, but where i’m from, that does not happen often & it’s a big accomplishment.

I just wanna take this time out to recognize the success & grind of Glizzy.

As he continues to promote the tape, he continues to work.  Coming soon, is #LAW3 (allegedly hosted by DJ DRAMA) and seems his team is too.  AWWSOME made it to 106, which is big, yes, but it’s even bigger because on “MULA (FT. 3 GLIZZY)” he stated “I can’t wait for 106”.  So shout out to Shy & the whole Glizzy Gang and I hope success continues to come to them.  One time for Benny.

#NoStallin

 

Lead by hit single, Savage (ft. Big Flock), Fame Reek presents “No Stallin’ (The Mixtape)“.  From DC & allegedly 17 years young, Fame’s future seems to be a bright one.  His flow is hard, but then he switch it up and harmonize too.  Check out the tape, it’s some gems on there.  HYPE START THE CAMPAIGN!

The 17-year spell, broken

For 17 years a woman hasn’t topped Billboard’s alternative songs chart, Ella Yelich-O’Connor has broken the streak. Only 16 years old Yelich-O’Connor, going by the stage name Lorde, is the hottest thing out of New Zealand. Her single “Royals”  hit No.1 on Billboard Alternative Songs chart this week. No other woman has done this in …
