Our nominee for “Mixtape Cover of the Year” is this brand new compilation from the homies at Dirty Glove Bastard and Baller’s Eve. It’s also in contention for Best Overall, because the lineup on this one is crazy. Check out the tracklist after the jump.

As a signee of UGK Records, Dub G has definitely been carrying the torch for the Kingz recently. His style is in the same country rap tunes vein as theirs, musicaly and lyrically. As the host and chief contributor of the Era of the Kingz mixtape, he delivers a worthy performance with the help of some great producers, such as Nesia Beatz. His tracks are the best part of this mixtape, partly because some of the songs are just straight throwbacks, making the whole project essentially a non-chronological compilation. Even if you’ve heard some of the tracks before, it’s definitely worth a listen to get a look at the future of UGK Records.

We’ve been keeping an eye out for Vallejo, CA’s Moe Green in the past couple of weeks, mainly since we heard “Ride”. After listening to his street album Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, it’s safe to say that it’s one of the summer’s standout releases. Although almost every song is made by a different producer, Moe accomplishes something that shouldn’t be taken lightly - keeping the album cohesive and tying all together with his raps. Instead of seeming all over the place, as often happens when an album has an ensemble cast of producers, Moe seems to have chosen the beats for their own vibe with the big picture in mind. The song “KIM”, like the album as a whole, is very smooth and personal. Do yourself a favor and download Rocky Maivia for free at the link below. Shout out to Dan at Audible Treats for sending this over.
