Save the Date ~ April 7, 2022 for the world premiere of the feature documentary from Mercury Studios, MIXTAPE, telling the story of mixtape culture and its role in spreading hip-hop around the world.

Paramount+ today announced that Mixtape, a new documentary exploring how the creation of mixtapes launched hip hop into mainstream culture, will premiere exclusively on the service Wednesday, 2 August.

I have a history with Eminem and his manager... He was on the 50 mcs mixtape i did in 1999. and he was on my first album. The Piece Maker...I have also had the opportunity to dj for him on some shows and tv appearances.

Mixtapes have an out-sized role in the emergence of hip hop around the world. Before radio play, the internet, and social media, there were mixtapes. No matter where you lived, you could pop a cassette into a tape deck, and be transported to a party halfway around the world. DJs were taste makers, trendsetters and creators of the sound that became the biggest musical genre on the planet. A meteoric rise for an art form not yet 50 years old. The importance of mixtapes goes well beyond the tapes themselves. Mixtapes were a form of currency. A signifier that you were In-The-Know and had your ear to the streets. A skeleton key to the underground. The culture was too strong to be stopped, and the artists were too talented to be ignored - so they turned the sub-culture into the mainstream, and made hip hop what it is today.

Pendulum, \u201CCome Alive.\u201D A rather rocking electronic tune with an epic chorus fit for top 40 rotation. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Chris Wildung, QA functional tester, Activision)

Mixtape Monday is back again, all set to turn the clock forward on your weekly sonic schedule. In a particularly excellent roundup we've got the exclusive online premiere of J Period's recent J Dilla Minimix, which played on Los Angeles's Soundwaves Radio recently in celebration of #DillaMonth. Great things continue to come in small packages with Prince Paul's latest It's Not the Size of Your Mix... installment, a brief but brilliant set that includes joints from Alkaholiks, Boogiemonsters and many more. Beyond that, an all-African(ish) groove mixtape from King Mono is thick with Fela vibes, plus sets from Cosmo Baker, HWLS, BamaLoveSoul and a throwback disco ride circa 1976. You tired from that lost hour of sleep? Too bad. It's monday morning and these mixtapes ain't hearing no excuses.

The beautiful thing about J Dilla's catalog is that his catalog offers almost an infinite number of ins, outs and beautiful sample source material for DJs to sink their decks into. Brooklyn regular J Period put on a top-level Dilla tribute session out in Los Angeles late last month, working in tandem with SoundWavesRadio. His Dilla MiniMix is definitely beyond the scope of what we usually hear from Yancey-minded mixers, and focuses on some of the less obvious joints of the GOAT's career. Put it this way: you've never heard a J Dilla tribute mix with this much Busta Rhymes. And that's a great thing--Dilla's catalog is a labyrinth of dopeness, and for these 32 minutes J Period navigates it with ease. Okayplayer is very proud to offer the exclusive premiere of the mix, which you can listen to below.

And the Afrobeat goes on. King Mono and Tummy Touch Music A&R Tim Love Lee In a classic "battle mixtape," Lee and the Mono boys go back and forth throwing modern hip-hop, loads of throwback African tracks and just about everything else back and forth, creating a mix that's grounded in the classic Nigerian sound but loaded with vocals from different decades and continents. Fela Kuti, Run the Jewels, Van Halen (!) and more. When DJs compete--you win.

Wax Poetics, blessed souls that they are, has published a fascinating profile of Siano and his years atop the decks at The Gallery, and it's absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in the legacy of these things we call mixtapes and DJing. Siano, now in his sixties, will be revitalizing those vintage Gallery grooves for one night only at a pop-up club night out in Coney Island on March 21st. There's more information about that event here, and below you can listen to one of Siano's Gallery sets, dating back to 1976. It's a joyful ride through disco and funk, faded meticulously from track to track by an expert hand. Siano's love of the music and its scene inundates every minute. Listen to it and enjoy your trip back in time.

We got the jazz. Or, rather, DJ Rahdu's latest mixtape does. Using Madlib's Yesterday's New Quintet project as his guide, Rahdu has turned out a set of top-tier jazz tracks, each one loaded with silky-smooth sample material that's begging to get chopped up. Delivered via his BamaLoveSoul project/blog/launchpad for general dopeness, Rahdu's mix is drum-heavy, at times bringing in some of Madlib's own beats as a means of spicing up the gumbo just a bit. Rare and righteous, this might be the grooviest hour you'll hear all spring.

Over at LargeUp there's a dancehall rager going on, and we'd be remiss to leave out all the great mixtapes from island artists. In that spirit, listen to MeLo-X & Jasmine Solano's Electric Punanny Vol. 5, an ace mix of dancehall-tinged joints that moves at a blistering pace through 50 songs in only 59 minutes. Joints from Mavado and Kalado keep things moving along, as does that one special Nicki Minaj remix you may have read about a while back... Turn it up and prepare to sweat--we recommend listening in a space with ample moving room.

This is it right here. Using strictly records from Damu the Fudgemunk's choice catalog, Soul Supreme AFK has put together a 20 minute tribute and it. f**king. knocks. This is some of the dopest instrumental hip-hop, acid jazz and moody trip-hop funk we've heard in a long while. There's really not much more to say: you need this mix in your life. Why are you still reading this? Get your best headphones and press play.

Let's end this week on a classic note, shall we? With this 2-hour long sprawling Jazz Appreciation mixtape, Marsellus Wallace has proved that his dust and grooves game is strong, featuring cuts from labels like Strata East, Kudu and CTI. From Italian swing to the spacey passages of Freddie Hubbard, Wallace's mix touches all the neglected bases of the global jazz scene and is a fitting end to this particularly excellent Mixtape Monday. Until next time, dear listeners--keep moving to it.

Last King 2: God's Machine bears an unfortunately portentous title for what it delivers: essentially, it's a mixed grab bag of Big K.R.I.T.'s various guest spots over the last year, on a series of iffy-to-forgettable indie rappers' records. It's the first utter non-release K.R.I.T. has allowed his name to touch in a career otherwise built on stringent quality control. His handsome, still-resonant full-length mixtape Return of 4eva came out just last April, and his high-profile Def Jam debut Live From the Underground lies just around the corner. God's Machine adds almost nothing worthwhile to this conversation, except to introduce the first noticeable wobble in what has otherwise been a flawless slow-burn brand-building campaign.

Worse, the mixtape presents K.R.I.T. in his weakest, most anonymous light: as a rapper on other people's songs. While he's ferociously talented, K.R.I.T. just isn't the type of rapper to muscle his way aggressively into another rapper's universe: he's best left to himself, where he can settle into a rich background of his own nostalgia-steeped production like sitting back in a rocking chair. God's Machine paints him, unfairly, as just another serviceable, UGK-biting rapper currently clogging up Southern rap-blog feeds. The song choices are mystifying: no one in the world needed to hear K.R.I.T.'s tacked-on verse to Berner's "Yoko", rapping alongside Chris Brown, but here it is. No one needed to hear him sharing air time with Cyhi Da Prince. But here that is too ("Hometeam").

There are a few genuine sparklers strewn throughout-- "Fulla Shit", a perverse boasting session with Yelawolf and fellow trailer-trash white speed-rapper Rittz, is one of the year's most satisfying rap songs. K.R.I.T. acquits himself admirably while still, lamentably, getting out-shined by the flamboyant personalities flanking him. The same goes for the chunky rap-rock crossover number "Born on the Block"-- after Killer Mike lays waste to the track, there's not much left for K.R.I.T. to do but show up and stay in the pocket. The humidly bluesy "The Big Payback", which opens the mixtape, is the most characteristically K.R.I.T. thing here, consisting of nothing but K.R.I.T.'s agreeably platitudinous raps laid over electric organ and some looped voices. It's over in less than two minutes, but it's the most reassuring reminder of his artistic imprint to be found on God's Machine. ff782bc1db
