Download: Wrekonize - "Sunny Winter EP"

So it's the 7th day in the new year and Wrekonize decides to bless us with new music. Who's mad?! Not. Me. Nope! This 5 track project here is produced entirely by Hippy Sabotage. With a name like that for a producer, you'll hear why it matches perfectly soon as you hit play. Wrek does what he's known to do on the mic in "Sunny Winter". Good, good music here and it's free! Get you some.

Download: Rob Viktum - "Proper Etiquette" (Beat Tape)

I'm a few weeks behind on this but as the saying goes, better late than never. Here's a free project from Dallas' Rob Viktum full of instrumentals he created. Might be some good inspiration for some writers and beat makers alike. Check it.

Download: DNH - "40's and Cheesecake"

New music from a couple of heads of out CT from Details and Rob Holcomb, also known as DNH. It's all free so definitely check it out and download it! Peep Details detailing what the album is about.

Here's a quick breakdown.
Track 1 - That’s for my jailbirds, our trouble makers, the kids throwing glass at the axe factory windows.
Track 2 - For the Odd Future fans who expect a little more depth. And for Joey Batts to just steal the show.
Track 3 - It's called Suburbia. Cuz it’s for suburbia.
Track 4 - Dunno bout Rob Holcomb but verse 2 for me was for a majority of the acts in Connecticut. You can be pretentious but have some respect for your people.
Track 5 - Dutch Vega, I figure you might like this one for some reason. We made it cuz we're already so cool, no?
Track 6 - Any Immortal Technique fans?
Track 7 - We're aware of who's trying to sell out and who actually might, but how does that make one feel?
Track 8 - For my drinkers and smokers who drive and the feeling behind it.

Download: Otis Clapp - "#ATB"

The sophomore LP from Otis Clapp is here and with features like YC The Cynic, KON, Kyle Rapps, KEPSTAR, and Warren Britt, you already know what you're getting into soon as that play button gets pushed. Otis is that "I don't give a fuck" dude and you can tell soon as you go through some of these tracks. That's some respectable shit.

#Summer. #Wanda ft Warren Britt, #Adel ft Kepstar, and #Loretta are some of my easy favorites. The beauty of this album, besides that this 18 track project is free, is that he gives you so many different styles of dopeness to listen to. Depending on your mood, this album got the right track for you. For real. But enough of reading, get to listening!

Oh and "Uhhh, ya mom's vagina."

Download: Allen Poe - "Pocket Full of Ohms"

Allen Poe has definitely come a long way from a few of the singles he'd hit me up with back in the day. I can hear the growth in this album and the hard work. For a free album, you're pretty much getting a bargain and a half because I could easily see myself coppin' this joint for some bucks. Good music here.

Pocket Full Of Ohms, clearly a play on UGK's classic Pocket Full of Stones, is a record that attempts to account for my coming of age in what many consider hip hop's golden age (the 90's) and how hip hop influenced me, not as an artist, but as a man.

This record features production by J57, Nemo Achida, Foreign Allegiance, Brock Berrigan, Cody Jordan, Lofidel and ILL CLINTON among others. Featured artists include Von Pea, yU, Sheisty Khrist, Emma Shaheen, Basement Up and others.

Here go that new dope from J.C.I.T.Y featuring artist Dutch Rebelle, Phinelia, Usual Suspecktz, Mic Suave & Mark Merren and produced by cats like Superstar O, Ready Rock Productions, Kelly Portis, Chemist, and more. With every new project J drops, the better he gets. He's making sure folks ain't doubting his skills on the mic, giving the audience them head nodding club bangers, but not forgetting to give the listeners some shit they can definitely relate to. "Sky Writing 2" is the latest example of J.C.I.T.Y's ability to do what he does best. Take care of business in the booth. Download this joint now, get ya drinks ready, and press play.

Download: Fair - "After The ENd"

The homie Fair released his solo project some weeks ago and I've finally found time to say a few words about it. Undoubtedly, this album stayed in rotation in the headphones since I first downloaded it. From jump with the short intro, Fair lets the world know that he ain't here for playing games. Informing the listeners that at the end of the day, he's that emcee that his fans can, do, and will continue to love him as. As the album plays on, he reassures us that he isn't going anywhere using skillful story telling lyricism with the help of perfectly matched production sound.

From topics ranging from getting back to his roots on the mic, to his own unique and ingenious version of an "Used To Love H.E.R." kind of track, to the struggles of relationships with women, Fair seems to have every angle covered subject-wise on "After The eNd". With features such as Jitta on the Track, Aaliyah Scott, Big Stat, not to forget his homie Mook, and more, he mixes just the right amount of help that doesn't overshadow his own talent on this joint. Not to mention production from DJ Semi, P Boogie, D-Lux, Ralphie O from Royce Music Group, No I.D., and even a J Dilla track, along with a few others.

Weeks after this being released, and as I sit here writing this and bumpin' the album simultaneously, I still find it to be a great project that everyone can find something they personally love about it. Download the joint for yourself and for FREE and hear exactly what I'm talking about. Dude can rap. Plain and simple. Dopeness.

Download: Trek Life "Wouldn't Change Nothing"

With free albums as dope as this, it sure does make it much easier for me to ignore a lot of these other projects folks try to pass off as music. Trek Life doesn't disappoint on this 14 joint album. There's no complaining about the drought of good music on my end as long as I get music this good.

California vet Trek Life is ready and set for his upcoming album with producer Duke Westlake to hit the scene, but before we get into the new album, MMG thought we ought to share "Wouldn't Change Nothing" with the people. WCN is the complete 14 track album remixes of the Oddisee produced "Everything Changed Nothing" featuring new versions produced by Apollo Brown, Audible Doctor, Has-Lo, Slimkat78, Oddisee, and Duke Westlake himself.

Download: Nix - "The Nixtape" (@EmceeNix)

Born in Broken Hill, raised in North-West Sydney & currently resides in Canberra, Nix is an emcee from Australia that's been in love with the genre of Hip-Hop ever since he heard Ghostface Killah's open verse on "Bring The Ruckus". Dude hit us up with this mixtape and the simple fact that it was on Bancamp made it that much easier for me to want to check it out. So I hit play and right from jump, had me noddin' to the music. This cat is definitely trying to do something with this. I respect his hard work on trying to give listeners a really good product. I can vouch for this joint, pretty much from beginning to end. All you gotta do is hit play to find out.

With cover art by Jim Mahfood (Ziggy Marley, Clerks, Community, Felt, MF Grimm) and guest apperances from Percee P, Illmaculate, Losty, Tycotic, LHA and more!

Download: Euro League - "Cloud9 : Annunaki Rap"

Euro League hit me up with a link before he released "Cloud9 : Annunaki Rap" a few days ago and it's been in my rotation on and off since. I'm loving the sound on this project as well as his flow and how he goes through story after story accompanying the production seamlessly. Cloud9 was a great choice of a word to use for how I sort of felt while listening to this 6 track project. The fact that it's also a free project is just another plus to what Euro League does here. This joint is yet another example of how folks do have an actual choice in getting quality music and not allowing themselves to be force fed music that doesn't step up to the quality plate. Definitely hit the play and then the download and then the share!
