DOWNLOAD: Pill - 4180 The Prescription (Mixtape)

It’s finally here!! First off let me thank The Fader, TNT, Noz and everyone else who’s picked up on Pill in the last couple weeks. I got a GREAT feeling about this tape. It’s going to do big things.

Track list after the jump.

UPDATE: If you’re looking to support the homie Pill you can now buy the mixtape HERE.

Damn this shit brings back memories! I miss Atlanta bass music. *tear* haha

This video is actually pretty solid.

Spotted @ TNT.

DOWNLOAD: Rick Ross ft. John Legend - Magnificent

RAWSSSSSS. Produced by Justice League. Deeper Than Rap coming soon.

Props to the homie Papa Smirf.

Obviously I didn’t post this song because of how dope it is. Although I am a huge fan of Que Bo Gold, this is definitely not representative of the solid music he would drop years later with Jazze Pha. This is actually a lesson in staying down. Notice the other 2 people in the video? Akon & Polow Da Don. Akon actually produced this song along with the rest of “Red Clay” album. This was also around Jim Crow time, so I’m assuming that’s how Polow got on the record. (more…)

This has been out for a minute but somehow I missed it. The verse hustle he talks about on here is hilarious. One minute it’s “damn, Busta Rhymes just came in my session and did a verse!” and two weeks later you get hit with a 15 grand invoice. Classic.

DOWNLOAD: Bangladesh - Pleasure For Sale

Although this feels like every Prince inspired song I’ve ever heard, I still find myself listening to it on repeat. I think it’s the slow synth/808 combo mixed with the “85“-esq guitars. Shondrae is definitely a better singer than rapper though. The faux-Pharell flow isn’t what’s happening homie. On a more positive note, outside of the “milli” beats that he’s got out, his production is sounding as stellar as ever.

DOWNLOAD: P. Dukes ft. Rev. Joseph Lowery - Make Me A Way

Recession Anthem.

Would someone go ahead and give Killer Mike a TV talk show already?

DOWNLOAD: UGK - Da Game Been Good To Me [DIRTY]

I LOVE this song. Those vintage UGK guitars sound amazing.

Via DGB.

DOWNLOAD: Pill - Dimes Of Hard

4180 The Prescription this FRIDAY. Really. Props to all the websites that have picked up on Pill so far and the ones that will soon.

DOWNLOAD: Big Gee - Mechanicsville, U.S.A

Ask around Atlanta and you’ll find Big Gee is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. He was a member of the original Boyz N Da Hood - the one with Sean Paul, Trick Daddy, Big Duke & T.I. Although this album never got much burn in the press, it has been embraced by the few who have heard it. Mechanicsville, U.S.A. is also the first album Block put out through Block Entertainment (pre-bad boy deal). Jazze Pha and Midnight Black handle the majority of the production with a notable contribution from DJ Herb (Once Upon A Time) and “We Ready” beatsmith Da Master. (more…)

I got one question for y’all - Who’s harder than BIG GEE?!?! No One. Listen to that first verse. WOW. We need more Country Rap Tunes like this! More on Gee coming soon. Free Big Gee!!!

DOWNLOAD: Yung L.A. & Young Dro - Party

I’m not sure what I love about this song more. Yung L.A.’s never ending “white-boy” adlibs, Young Dro singing his verse (and actually sounding good) or simply that these guys really went in the studio and just did THEM. Now, I’m not a fan of the whole tape. L.A.’s flow doesn’t fit well with most of the beats they picked and Dro just sounds tired over most of it, but here, they sound inspired. This sounds like the natural evolution from the “Party Like A Rockstar” vibe that EVERYONE was on in 2007. (more…)

Here’s the full report from that clip I posted yesterday. Much more in-depth. If you got 45 minutes to kill, check this out. Props to lavaman.
