Download ... Chris Read - "The Classic Material Edition #2"

Here's another free mixtape brought to you by Chris Read. Some dope throwbacks in this mix. Check it.

Edition #2 of the monthly Classic Material series pays tribute to the hip hop of 1988, a year which many consider the 'golden year' of the late 80s. As samplers took over from drum machines as the producer's tool of choice, the James Brown drum sound ruled supreme and lyrical subject matter explored new territory. With seminal (and at the time controversial) album releases from the likes of Public Enemy and NWA, this was a year that changed hip hop forever.

This mix takes in classic and some lesser known cuts from singles and albums released in 1988. The CD version includes 2 bonus mixes including "The Breaks of '88", an audio collage of the sample material used in the making of 88's best known hip hop cuts and is available to purchase on its own or as part of our T-Shirt box set from the Classic Material website.

What I'm Watching ... Adebisi "Internet Sex"

Last time I posted music from the homie Adebisi, it was with his Milwaukee crew Fresh Cut Collective. Adebisi recently relocated to NYC and is working on his solo sophomore album, "Hard Money." Check the new track from that project, produced by Reason. The video was shot, edited and directed by no stranger to our blog, Darren Cole for Alphabang Productions. Look out for Adebisi's new project dropping soon.

Check It ... H.W. (of The Scribblenauts) #RAPLIFE

H.W. of The Scribblenauts hit me up earlier with this track over an Oddisee beat (Lava Lamp off Oddisee Instrumental Mixtape, Vol. 1). It's basically a reflection of his life and probably the life many other non famous rappers live. It's kind of an anthem. I definitely dig it and hope other folks will gravitate towards it. The Mad Bloggers decided to jump on board and push this joint out. It's definitely a dope track. Check it out. Hit up the comment section with your thoughts. CHEA!

Check It ... Deena Jonez - “Cold Pillow” (@iamdeenajonez)

Enjoy.

Mims Music Group & emerging emcee Deena Jonez present the first single “Cold Pillow” off “Kings County: Where We From” Mixtape”. Produced by Ruckazoid, the single is a remake/remix from the Theophilius Londons original song "Cold Pillow."

Deena Jonez explains: “Cold Pillow is about a female coming out of a relationship without any regrets, taking everything for what it's worth, and learning from the experience. Even though the guy did her wrong she still has love for him but instead of working it out she'd rather focus on her life, and career.”
