Enjoy!

Made this for an event here in Raleigh. No rap (or very little of it). Something new for me, but sometimes it’s better that way (hides from the purists). This is all completely random, and I made it over night, so I don’t consider it to be stellar but it’s a pretty good mix I think.

Told you it was gonna be monthly! This edition is hosted by NC’s own Tightman and features a TON of exclusive joints by him and others. Download away, here’s the link!

Until Next Time…

My homie DJ Paradime finished up a compilation of Illmind beats for the world to hear. If you don’t know who Illmind is, I suggest you Get Familiar (c) clinton sparks. Better bring a neck brace…

No screaming DJs, real mixing, and real music (oh, plus it’s free!).

Dan Johns and DJ Forge - “Rebirth of a Dying Breed” Press Release

Fresh off of last year’s release of In The Face of Danger, Dan Johns is back with a new mixtape, teaming up with DJ Forge for Rebirth of a Dying Breed. Building on previous efforts, this mixtape, which is more like an album, reflects the passion and intensity that are cornerstones of Dan as an emcee. Speaking on a variety of topics over all original production, Dan is dropping this gem for free.

Guest spots include Supastition, Chaundon, iCON The Mic King, K-Hill, Villanova, Fat Rat Da Czar, DJ Shekeese The Beast, Amen, and Akshun among others. Production is coming from M-Phazes, DJ Forge, K-Hill, The Returners, LR Hook, and Encornelius.

DJ Forge, who also was on the tables for Dan’s Supply & Demand Mixtape, brings the element of true DJing to the project. 2007 was a good year for Forge, as he toured Europe twice, as Supastition’s tour DJ. Holding down the tables at Cat’s Cradle has allowed him to open up shows for a long list of heavy hitters such as Clipse, KRS-One, Ghostface, Method Man, GZA, Bone Thugs, BCC, Brother Ali, Masta Ace, Souls of Mischief, Aceyalone, Little Brother, and many others.

Rebirth of a Dying Breed is another brick in the foundation that Dan has been laying over the last few years, and certainly not a project that you can afford to miss out on. Download it, check it out, pass it on to someone you know who loves true hip hop and do them,and yourself, a favor…
