Archive for the ‘Blu’ tag
I first came across Swiff D way back when on U-N-I’s 2007 release Fried Chicken and Watermelon. Swiff threw down on the “somebody gonna get pregnant”-esque track Knock on Wood. It banged (zing!). Fast forward a year, and Swiff was in the finals of the Red Bull Big Tune, crushing much of the competition.
Dude’s stayed busy since then, popping up on tracklistings from most of the L.A. young guns that are making So Cal bubble, including Pac Div, Blu, and yes, more U-N-I. Swiff just dropped his latest endeavor – the 15 track instrumental compilation Basic Cable. It’s a solid mix of boom bap head nodders, and some of that L.A. fresh the kids are digging so much. But no jerking. No. Definitely not.
Download and enjoy!
We like mixtapes up in this biz, and we like people who send them to us (hint hint: lastnightsmixtape@gmail.com). One such person is LxNxM affiliate/associate/G-Unit Hollis Wong-Weezy, aka Ispire of Canary Sing. Hollis put together a little something something of the music that’s getting her up and out in the morning, including an exclusive preview of the Canary Sing remix of Dead Prez’s Mind Sex.
The mix goes by the handle i can’t help it, and it’s good isht, running the gamut from some BK-One/Haiku d’Etat to Senegal repper/rapper Sister Fa. The full tracklist is below the jump, so start downlading that goodness, and peruse the full selection. Get that!
