Due to popular demand, here is the first mixtape from DJ Burn One & KD “Last Man Standing”. In the video above KD explains how the project came together and gives some insight on some of the standout records on the mixtape. The mixtape, released in August 2007, featured the underground hit “Polo & Nikes” and layed the foundation for great things to come from KD.
Here’s one of the standout tracks from Huntsville, AL’s Nate B. featuring KD “Spell”. Also, here’s Nate B.’s second mixtape hosted by DJ Infamous “The Debate”. Most of the album’s production is handled by Birmingham’s Rafeal Andres, whom some of you might know from his work with KD.
Pill Clinton is back with the leadoff hit from his upcoming Gangsta Grillz project, 1140: The Overdose. A tape with DJ Drama has the potential to turn Pill’s street buzz into something more mainstream. Although there’s no doubt in my mind that “mainstream” Pill won’t be pulling any punches or making bullshit songs. It simply means that more audiences will have a chance to be knocked upside the head by his raw ass lyrics. The video for this song will premiere tomorrow on the MySpace Music homepage. Shout out to Whiteboy D and The Educated Villains. OK DENNNNN!!!
A few weeks ago 16 String schooled yall on the perfection of Fiend’s Street Life, and for those who recognize the name KLC, you know he’s made certified country classics throughout his whole career. Mystikal, fresh out of jail, has wisely reconnected with the two of his former labelmates who are still making quality music. All props for this track go to Dirty Glove Bastard, who sent this out to the world just so we all wouldn’t have to wait for it. Be on the lookout for the exclusive DGB mixtape dropping soon.
If you’ve ever heard DJ Smallz and Jackie Chain’s absolute banger of a mixtape, Fear the Future, you know that Jackie and the Block Beattaz make incredible music together. You A Lie? Over & Over Again? Rollin? Something about Jackie seems to bring out the best in CP & Mali Boi, or maybe they’re bringing out the best in him. Regardless of which it is, I’m fuckin with this trance-crunk style the long way.
New shit outta TX, produced by up-&-coming production team Stunt n’ Dozier outta Da Shit Factory, spearheaded by DJ Mr Rogers. These niggas produced that ‘Flex’ record thats out here doin its thang…Fuck wit this
Classic album of the day: Dirty “The Pimp & Da Gangsta”. The Pimp & Da Gangsta had already released an underground album locally in 1999 in their native Montgomery, Alabama before they were signed to Universal Records the following year. Their debut album was released in 2001 and help introduce the hip hop world to the sound of Alabama. The album was both pimp and gangsta in beats and lyrics, plus it provided us with some southern classics such as “Hit Da Floe”, “6 Deep Creepin”, “Rollin’ Vogues”, and “Candyman”. The album added another dimension to the southern sound, as we were able to get some authentic Alabama flavor. This album represented the culture and vibe of Alabama perfectly and set a standard for other acts from the area.
