Squincy Jones - Nintendub + More Mixtape Downloads

Yes I know I’m not the first to cover Squincy Jones or offer his mixes for download, but sometimes it’s fun revisiting something that still sounds ahead of it’s time. Hopefully a few of you will be new to the work of Squincy, and you can get some of these eargasmic mixes in your playlist. Squincy Jones is a mix master who is deeply rooted in 8 bit Nintendo Culture, Hip Hop and Dub. I’m not alone when I feel Nintendub was the best mixtape of 2008, and that he’ll have even more mixtapes for us to cop in 2009.

Enjoy the Squincy Jones collection and be sure to make some room on your iPod’s!
Mixtape Download: Nintendub
Mixtape Download: 21 Front Street

Raekwon - Blood On Chef’s Apron Mixtape Download

I’ve always been a pretty big fan of The Wu-Tang Clan and almost anything that any of the crew releases. What I came across today definitely put a smile on my face. As some of you may know, Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 (or OBFCLII) will be released on August 11th. What some of you may not know however, is that he and DJ Absolut have given us all a nice appetizer in the form of a mixtape titled Blood On Chef’s Apron.

This 25 track mixtape has some nice guest spots by Noreaga, Joel Ortiz, AZ, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Jadakiss, The Game, B-Real and more. As always with so many mixtapes, there is a lot of interlude garbage, but if you can put up with a few minutes of yapping, there are plenty of hidden gems. 1 in particular is the cut Gutterman Music featuring Jadakiss. Who’d have thought that Rush meets hip hop could sound so good?

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Shawn Chrystopher - (Mixtape Download) I.W.G.2: I Told You So

Another day, another mixtape…And this one is at the top of the class. Shawn Chrystopher and Honour R.O.L.E. Music dropped I.W.G.2: I Told You So at midnight. Nobody likes to tell the world he made it, more than Shawn Chrystopher does, and I’d say he deserves it. His rhymes are fresh, his delivery is smooth, and his realization of this helps him to exude the type of swagger that hip-hop was originally built on.

Shawn Chrystopher’s debut full length album titled A City With No Seasons will drop in August, but this mixtape should hold you over just fine until then. Stream it below, and be sure to grab the album below it.

The Cool Kids - Gone Fishing Mixtape Download

Ladies and gentlemen, this is hot off the presses! The long awaited Gone Fishing mixtape by The Cool Kids has finally been released! The Cool Kids worked together with producer Don Cannon to put out the hip-hop soundtrack of the summer. Unfortunately Don Cannon has littered the entire mixtape with the tag  “CANNON”  which is a bit distracting, but there is no doubt that The Cool Kids are on top of their game. The Tracklisting is in the image above, and you can also visit When Fish Ride Bicycles for more info directly from the mouths of Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish.

If you feel like skipping the reading and going straight to the head bobbing:

Eclectic Method Presents The Tarantino Mixtape

If nobody has told you yet, the Eclectic Method are the kings of movie mixtapes. Last week, The Tarantino Mixtape was dropped on the world and since then, I’ve been doing nothing but practicing my snap kick and loading my revolver on beat to Queen’s We Will Rock You. It’s not as easy as it sounds…Trust me (I’ve almost shot myself in the foot 3 times).

These geniuses not only found the most amazing action scenes spread across multiple movies, but they also worked in the audio elements to make up an amazing soundtrack to go with it. If you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino, than this mix is for you. If not, than watch it, and prepare to be a fan from here on out.
