You Guys Care About Mixtapes, Right? Vol. 8

As promised, here is another mixtape post. Sorry for the delay, but as some of you may know I blog from work and have no computer. I work in retail and it's fucking December, so this took me forever to put together. Here's some new shit that slaps. ENJOY!

Recommended by Lil Ugly Mane. The MC is Face Vega and it's all produced by Gila Monsta, who is a self-proclaimed "slap enthusiast," so it makes the trunk go bzzzzzz. Apparently he samples Opeth in there somewhere. I haven't listened to Opeth enough to pick it out though. These guys are cool. Real dark and psychedelic.

Gorgeous Children - Gorgeous Children

I heard these guys on the song Bath Salt, which appeared on the ASAP MOB mixtape. It's definitely the best song on the whole thing, so I checked out Flatbush Zombies. This shit is really good. Flatbush Zombies spit like fuckin crazy. Additionally, they're total degenerates. All they talk about is drugs and pussy. It's awesome. There's also clips from Gummo and Frailty on it.

Flatbush Zombies - D.R.U.G.S.

I also heard this guy on the ASAP MOB mixtape. So, it's some more New York stuff. He's definitely got the latin Big Pun/Fat Joe thing going on. The majority of this thing bumps hard and the dude snaps. Features Flatbush Zombies and A$AP Ferg. I'm into it.

Bodega BAMZ - Strictly For My P.A.P.I.Z.

Yet another New York dude. He's 1/2 of the now defunct Das Racist who I've never cared much about. I do enjoy their solo efforts. This is Heems' newest one and it's killer. Also features Bodega BAMZ.

Heems - Wild Water Kingdom

This is actually an official release, not a mixtape. This is a dude rapping/yelling over some hard ass electronic shit. Apparently a member of Hella is part of the group. I don't know shit about Hella. It took me a while to get into this, but one day it just clicked for me. The Money Store came out on Epic Records. A few months later they had another record ready to go and the label wanted to wait to release it, so they just leaked it online themselves (complete with album art - the name of the album written in sharpie on an erect penis.) Soundcloud, file sharing sites, bit torrent sites, etc. Plus they shared private messages from the label to them. Long story short - they are no longer part of the Epic roster. Pretty fuckin cool.
