Back To School

The summer vacation is almost over and it’s time to head back to school for most.  We hope everyone had a great summer break and enjoyed their time off.  Some of us may not have had much of break these past months if you picked up a job for the summer.  We have a few releases in this review that will help you enjoy yourself until it’s time to get back to your educational studies.

J. Armz starts us off with volume 5 of the “Rap Gods” franchise.  This DJ has some of the nicest mixtapes on the streets and this installment does not disappoint.  This release contains a 25 song playlist with tracks by emcees such as French Montana, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Nas, J. Cole, T.I., A$AP Rocky, Jim Jones, Young M.A., Joe Budden, Nipsey Hu$$le, Dave East, Vado, Cam’ron, Remy Ma, Beanie Sigel, and a few other hip hop lyricists.

DJ Keyz returns to the game with a ton of new releases and a new installment in the east coast franchise titled “Welcome To NYC”.  This DJ had some major drops this past week with a total of 15+ hip hop and r&b mixtapes for your listening enjoyment.  Part 48 in the series brings you music from Fat Joe, Drake, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Desiigner, N.O.R.E., Uncle Murda, Diddy, Chinx Drugz, Bobby Schmurda, Troy Ave, Juelz Santana, Styles P, Joey Bada$$, Cory Gunz, and more from the state of New York.

Hip Hop and RnB Playlist

The first week of May is behind us, as well as the Mexican holiday of Cinco De Mayo.  Since that day begun on Thursday, the extravaganza was probably an all-out weekend event for some.  People in the United States might mistake the holiday as Mexico’s Independence day, but that’s not the case.  Their Independence Day falls on September 16th.  May 5th in the U.S.A. can be linked to a celebration of Mexican-American culture, so the best way to enjoy the festivities is by knocking back a few corona’s with your pals.  Maybe Billy Idol will even come through with a “White Wedding” to keep the party going?  In any case, here a few of the best mixtapes on the internet to help you continue on with your holiday leisure or aid in winding down all the hoopla.

DJ Cortez brings along DJ Mellz with the 26th release of the “Futuristic R&B” music download franchise.  This DJ definitely has a knack for the slow jams with this series.  Look for tracks on this 20 song playlist by industry favorite recording artists such as Jacob Latimore, Keke Wyatt, Lil Kaige, Fetty Wap, Kid Ink, Alicia Keys, Eric Bellinger, Spectacular, Verse Simmonds, Rihanna, Ambre, and many others.  If you’re looking for other releases in this collection, you can always use the website’s search engine.  We made it even easier by adding a function to the site which allows you to browse all of the selections by using the “Suggested Mixtapes” feature located below the audio players.  If you’re on mobile, just swipe left or right to cycle through the products.

Next, is a drop in the “Streetcorner Gangstas” collection by Massachusetts native DJ Kurupt.  This edition is sub-titled “Respeck” which comes from Birdman’s brief appearance on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club”.  Emcees showcased on this installment include T.I., Shad Da God, Ace Hood, B.o.B., Future, 5ive Mics, Young Thug, 2 Chainz, Lucci, Johnny Cinco, Nispey Hu$$le, O.T. Genasis, Waka Flocka, French Montana, Nas, and others on this 27 song playlist.  You probably already heard about all the ridicule aimed at Birdman, but if you missed the Cash Money Records CEO storming out of the interview, replay the fiasco below.

DJ Blurray is back with another “Chopped Not Slopped” edition in the series titled “Between Tha Sheetz” presented by OG Ron C, The Chopstars, and Mixtapes Slayer Entertainment.  This release contains free mp3 downloads by Tinashe, Ray-J, Tory Lanez, Jacquees, Jon Locke, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Eric Bellinger, Kirko Bangz, Jamie Foxx, Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz, Chris Brown, Keith Sweat, Mila J, and other top musicians.  You don’t want to miss out on this one, as this DJ is one of the best in the business to chop up slow jams.  He also screwed two throwback tracks by Ginuwine and Usher.  Break out the roses, chocolate, and lean for this release.

Finally, we head down south to “The Sunshine State” with a feature by The Syndicate.  The 3rd installment in the music session called “Florida Boyz” is powered by Street Runnaz Clothing.  Look for free music downloads on this 15 song playlist by Rick Ross, Plies, Kent Jones, Cee-Lo Green, Denzel Curry, Gunplay, Young Breed, Future, T-Pain, Richie Weiss, OG Maco, Jacquees, Kodak Black, and YFN Lucci.  Flip through the site and check out all of the releases this month by The Syndicate.

Summer vacation is right around the corner, but make sure you don’t slack off and put full effort into finishing your classes.  No matter what happens in life, an education will always make for a better and brighter future.  Be sure to congratulate your fellow peers for a job well done this year!
