Skyzoo – “FGR” (First Generation Rich) [Video]
Respect to Skyzoo for the new video dopeness! “FGR” (First Generation Rich) is off Skyzoo’s forthcoming mixtape, “Theo VS JJ (Dreams vs. Reality).” You can cop your own download of the mixtape (including this “FGR” joint) via iTunes. Nice. So nice! Here’s what Skyzoo had to say about it:
‘The idea for “FGR” came from me watching an Oprah Winfrey special on the Miami Heat’s recent title win; she asked Dwyane Wade about his life now, as opposed to when he was a kid in Chicago. He went on to talk about being the first one in his family to have any type of ‘real money.’ In doing so, he used a slogan: “First Generation Rich.”‘

Nesby Phips x Reem – “0017th: Hollygrove Ain’t Enough” (Mixtape)
A twist on the theme of James Bond 007 movie “The World Is Not Enough,” Nesby Phips (producer behind the “Floorsleepers” series) and Reem collaborate to bring us super agent firepower in mixtape form on “0017th: Hollygrove Ain’t Enough.” Ralph Simon (co-founder of Jive Records) introduces the project as a character likened to “Q” from the 007 movies; issuing mission orders to featured New Orleans ‘agents’ like Mack Maine, Curren$y, Juvenile, Fiend, and others. They really went there to bring the movie feel to their music. Get your FREE download of “0017th: Hollygrove Ain’t Enough” below. I wonder if it comes with Dolby surround sound…

Cid Rim – “A Fall Four Two”
What are you doing Sunday? Nah…you’re playing this joint AND doing whatever you said! This smooth Cid Rim instrumental, “A Fall Four Two,” is JayForce-approved for vibing on a Sunday. The folks at BamaLoveSoul have hooked us up again. Glad I am on their e-mailing list! Note: Cir Rim’s “A Fall Four Two” is available on his self-titled debut micro-album available online here.
J-Lie – “Popped Off” Freestyle (Video)
Representing hotness from ATL.A, a combination of Atlanta and Los Angeles, J-Lie brings that heat! Evidence? Got it. Peep the video. Sure the video features nice cars and kicks, but the lyrics…sick! After watching the “Popped Off” Freestyle video (by Fresh Start Productions), grab the entire mixtape “Ears First, Hearts Next” via download from JLieMusic.com.

R&B: Rochelle Jordan – “Pressure” (Mixtape)
Remember that nice joint “Losing” we posted here a while ago? Well, Toronto’s own Rochelle Jordan is back with her full mixtape – “Pressure” (entirely FREE here) – and there is more to enjoy! Twelve tracks… and “Losing” was just the tip of a very cool iceberg. Nice.

Luck-One x Dekk – “Searchin'” (Video)
Nice right from the start of the video… if only we thought of this when we hear stacks and racks. Luck-One & Deck bring this smooth Hip-Hop from Portland, Oregon to your eardrum. Good vibe. “Can’t complain about a labor of love,” the verse goes. Luck-One & Dekk keep “Searchin'” for balance – taking care of family, pursuing destiny, staying legitimate, and such. It’s hard out here for real artists. Appreciate that… and this video. Bonus: You can get the single, “Searchin'” right here…and the entire “Beautiful Music Part 2” mixtape after the jump.

Pusha T – “Pies” (Prod. Fly Union)
When I heard this song circulating the internet from Pusha T my immediate reaction was it sounded pretty dope. No pun intended considering the V.A. native’s not so subtle contraband references. Apparently the song appears on the ‘Champions’ mixtape put together by the Cleveland based brotha Meel Tha DJ for LebronJames.com featuring all original music. The Fly Union produced song appears as the second track on the mixtape, but it is definitely a standout in my opinion. The artwork is pretty fly too. You can listen or download the entire mixtape below….
Nottz Presents D.M.P – “Live From Early Street” (Mixtape)
We were right! Nottz included “Dead End Street” (which we posted about earlier here) on the D.M.P mixtape “Live From Early Street.” Love it when a plan comes together. Even better when a dope clan comes together. Nottz x D.M.P. = Dope Clan. Nottz Presents D.M.P – “Live From Early Street” = Dope Mixtape!

TenDJiz – “CommoNasm” (Common x Nas Meet Soviet Soul/Jazz)
Mash up Common and Nas and mix in some Soviet soul to get “CommoNasm”…Clever…VERY clever! The liner notes at the Bandcamp or Soundcloud site for this gem should draw you in (like it did me):
“CommoNasm (Common and Nas Meet Soviet Soul/Jazz) is an album created by Miami-based producer/sound engineer TenDJiz by blending the acapellas of Common and Nas with instrumentals based on Soviet soul and jazz samples.”
Enjoy this TenDJiz mash-up, y’all. Looks like mash-ups are the in thing, huh?
