Mixtape Friday: Cocaine Muzik 5: White Friday

Reviewed by Tee-Mack

This week I'm bring you the southern sounds of Yo Gotti and his latest mixtape entitled Cocaine Muzik 5: White Friday. Hosted by Bigga Rankin, this mixtape features artists such as Waka Flocka and Ciara. Although Yo Gotti isnt as lyrically endowed as some of my favorite rappers, the beats in this mixtape fill that void and emmit  a 8Ball and MJG flava.

Two of my favorite songs featured on the mixtape are "It's On" and "We Can Get It On" which features Ciara. Yo Gotti is signed to J Records and is working on his 5th LP entitled: "Live from the Kitchen". 
There is no release date set, but the LP should be refreshing for the rapper who hasn't released a studio album in six in six years.
                                                             
So ok, he's on the back burner at the label but  I'm still going to
            give this mixtape one thumb up because overall it sucked and the lyrical content
           WAS SUBPAR!!!!
  But don't take my word for it, you be the judge! Click here to listen.

New Leak- Common ft. Nas (Produced by No ID)

Sources are stating that this song will be on Common's new album. Never the less, it is new and in our eyes is considered a leak. Plus, if you're on your hip-hop, you know that Common and Nas on the same track just sounds good!

Alter Ego Music

Blogged By Julian Williams

 Music is a global production of sounds that are soothing and moving to the soul. Many people take interest in this industry, but do they have what it takes to rise, or at least bring in some steady cash? Many men will try and fail. The question one must ask is: what makes the difference in those who succeed?

There are numerous differences that can be established, but ambition, or putting your dreams in action has to be one of the mindsets of a successful musician. Alter Ego Music possesses the type of ambition necessary to achieve the unimaginable. They have dropped 3 mixtapes in less than half a year, and are racking up fans along the way. Being that they are fairly new to the hip-hop musical world, they adhere to the process of growth. Taking pride in musical creation is a must because pouring your mind, heart and soul through music is what captures the hearts of listeners. Alter Ego Music has developed a recipe of hustle to make it in the hip hop business. Check them out at http://www/alteregomusic.tk/ 
           
In the reality we live, everything is a process, from learning to ride a bike to building a multi-million dollar company. We all must crawl before we walk. Alter Ego Music utilizes an identical concept, by applying the method of success to the music they create. Learning as they go, they speak their minds through lyrics and upbeat personality. Alter Ego Music is powered by individuality and building their own philosophy of life through personal perspectives and external experiences. Their eyes are set on the prize, and tend to have a huge impact on the world, bringing about new ideas, innovations and theories into the hip hop world of theory and truth.

Mixtape Fridays: Mac Miller- Best Day Ever


Reviewed by Tee-Mack

For those who haven't heard of Mac Miller, Let me drop some knowledge on the 19 year old Jewish Hip Hopper from Pittsburg.

Miller is a small guy making big waves in the hip-hop community with his latest mixtape entitled "Best Day Ever". Listening to this mixtape you will find Miller's flow to be similar to that of Wiz Khalifa's (Pre-Rolling Papers of course). This should come as no surpise because not only are Khalifa and Miller Pittsburg natives, they are also label mates on Rostrum Records.

With witty lyrics about money, parties, and of course "everyone's favorite recreational drug", this mixtape, in essence, out shines  Khalifa's "Rolling Papers."  One of my personal favorites is "Donald Trump" where Miller exclaims in the hook "We go take over the world while these haters get mad!" Needless to say, I give this mixtape my stamp of approval. Not bad at all for the up and coming Hip-Hopper from Pittsburg. So you know what time it is- click here to get your listen on.
