I’ve had this mix on the back burner for a while now so some of the  tracks are a wee bit old and a lil overplayed, however I reckon it holds  up pretty well.

After several months in the making, my first summer mix has arrived. The idea behind this mix is to chronicle a sort of overlooked period in hip-hop, where R&B singers and rappers began collaborating more frequently. And yes, hip-hop was dumbing down, starting its descent towards crunk, but it wasn’t quite there yet.

With the exception of the first track, I used 1996 (the death of Biggie Smalls) and 2004 (the advent of crunk/snap) as my cutoff dates. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this summer mix purely as a badass summer mix, and as a look at hip-hop’s teenage years and at the “good girl/gangster” dynamic.

This is my way of saying thank you for being such great people.

MiMOSA - Silver Lining

 I cannot stress enough that we should all support these artist by buying their albums, attending their shows, and buying their merchandise. These individuals put a lot of time and effort into their work and it is not fair unless we support them so they can keep doing what they do.
NOTE: If you are one of the artists featured in this mixtape or represent one of these artists and would like for me to take down your music feel free to Email Me and I will remove it promptly.

SO MUCH SWAG YOU GUYS
