Frank Ocean: Let Me (feat. Kyle Christopher)

Here's a new track from the Odd Future crooner. This young man has TWO guest spots on the upcoming Kanye & Jay album. Damn.

ShelRoc: I Want That (feat. Styles P & Jadakiss)

Obviously I'm posting this one for the Styles P & Jada features.

Rock City: Long Distance Lovers

Someone explain to me Konvict records would ever want to let these two go? This track is clearly a demo for an unknown female artist.

Miguel: Superhero

He's got one of the cleanest voices in R&B without a doubt.

Drake finally hits us with his long awaited single "Headlines." Boi-1da produced this one! Take Care coming October 24th. I'm already gonna say it: Headlines > Over.

Chevy Woods: The Drive (feat. Mac Miller)

I'm really feelin' this dude Chevy. He sounds exactly like Ryan Leslie, which is always a plus. He's about to be the next big thing from Taylor Gang.

The Game: Belee Dat (feat. Lil Wayne)

This GOES! The Game is sooo dope on mixtapes. And anything with Wayne is 1000 times better IMO... Yes I am a huge stan of Weezy, I admit it. "Hood Mornin" drops August 1st!!!!
Tagged up for now, I'll post the CDQ as soon as it drops

Chuuwee: Be Cool

This one was hyped up.. Although I don't listen to him that much. He's dope though! The Guy behind the beats on the entire is named Jonathan Lowell.

The Game: Drug Test (feat. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg)

Now THIS is true westcoast music! It's gonna be on Game's "R.E.D. Album" which drops August 23

Kidd Kidd: Better Walk (feat. 50 Cent)

I miss this one when it hit the net a few days ago. After recently being signed to G-Unit records, the former Sqad Up member posts his first single with his new label. Nice beat and Kidd Kidd definitely goes in. Too bad 50 doesn't give a better hook though.
On a side note "Crack Rock" was one of my favorite songs this year.

Royce Da 5'9": On the Boulevard (feat. Nottz & Adonis)

Here's track 5 from an album I'm very gassed about ("Success In Certain"). Royce rarely disappoints, and I really liked his half of the Bad Meets Evil album.

Tyga: Well Done 2

This came out a week ago, but I'm posting it cuz it shoulda been on my "Best Mixtapes of 2011" post. It grew on me! T Raw's got one of the best flows and a sick delivery. Shouts to Andriy for showing me the true brilliance of this tape.

Fiend: Cool Is In Session

Hit y'all with that "Take a Pull" earlier today. Now here's the full tape from the JETS emcee! Such a jazzy tape. Damn.

Jim Jones: Party Tonight (feat. Teyana Taylor & Cam'Ron)

No idea who that second verse is.. but Tenaya Taylor's got a nice voice. Oh and Killa always is a plus.

Yo Gotti: Single (feat. Stuey Rock)

New Lil Lody produced single from Gotti called "Single" (creative title dude...). "Live from the Kitchen" drops September 8th.

Gucci Mane & Future: Freebricks

New tape from Gucci and the featured artist on "Racks."

15th & The 1st

I actually dig Waka Flocka. "Ferrari Boyz" drops on August 9th

Consequence: Everybody Told Me

After recent jabs at Kanye & Pusha T, Consequence hits the new with a new one. Apparently this is his "graceful" exit from G.O.O.D. music. On a side note, is "Movies On Demand 3" ever coming out?

Ryshon Jones: She's Leaving for College

Personal connection to this one. And it's a really cool concept. Here's the description of the concept of the album, straight from the back cover of the CD: "This mixtape takes place inside the mind of a guy during sex with his girl. She's leaving for college soon and he's unsure if he can handle the distance. During sex his mind roams and he becomes trapped in his own imagination. He begins to paint pictures of infidelity off the emotion of his girl bein' away. The human mind can be a deadly weapon, but in the end he leaves his imagination but the question is for how long?" Very cool idea for a tape in my opinion.

Erk Tha Jerk: Nerd's Eye 2

New tape from the Bay Area representative. Shout out to http://www.2dopeboyz.com/ for presenting this one. You can download it on their page, and I'll give a link to the download spot:

Willie The Kid: Yes! Michigan Part 4 (feat. Guilty Simpson)

Here's another one from "The Crates." I still can't get over how good this guy is.

Mac Miller: Whateva

T.God represent. Still can't stand Mac's choruses.

Dave East: Everything

I've been really half and half with Dave East, but he sounds like a new age Obie Trice. This one's dope.

http://limelinx.com/files/3c6cd043a54c5b49c0a5200f2d4876de

Pries: Can You See Your Son

New one from one of my recent favorites. This one's a real touching track where Pries brags to his father (who walked out on the family) about all of his accomplishments. This guy is REALLY improving.

Kirko Bangz: Drank In My Cup

This guy got named in XXL (along with XV & Theophilus London) as being the next up.. So that's the only reason he's getting posted. I personally don't feel it.

http://limelinx.com/files/67961932a489cfda9aafdff971350315

Fiend: Take a Pull (feat. Smoke DZA)

JETS over everything. Fiend has got one of the trillest voices in hip hop I swear..

http://limelinx.com/files/7aa46a4ccd654e33d63357dd996e06aa

Memphis Bleek: By Myself

It's a shame that everytime I see a Bleek song, I just think of all of the potential.. This one's aight.

Alley Boy: Definition of Fuck Shit 2

This has gotta be one of the worst mixtape titles of all time. But the music is pretty sweet. Basically boomin' beats and an ATL emcee goin' in. Simple enough.

Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite: The Sky Is Falling and I'm Fine - FreEP

Here's the highly anticipated EP from the Vonnegutt and Purple Ribbon member Kyle Lucas. This guy is seriously awesome. The free download ends in TWO DAYS, so be sure to download this NOW!

http://www.djbooth.net/index/mixtapes/entry/kyle-lucas-sky-is-falling

Dunno who he is. But he's got some dope beats from Chemist and Zone Beats. Plus that Sir Michael Rocks feature is nice. And on the mic, he definitely holds it down. I'll keep my eye out for him in the future.

http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/en/view-album/19106-lavish-dreams-x-addictions-%28hosted-by-dj-illl-will-%26amp%3B-dj-rockstar%29

Now THIS I like. Jimmy hooks up with two of the 2011 XXL freshmen. Freddy KILLED IT (first good verse I've ever heard from him). This and "So Cold" were nice. Jones really works on these Jahlil Beats productions.
