On the DL

We’re still not at the half-year point of the year but we’ve compiled a couple of mixtapes that are free but, most importantly, are great listens.

Air Swell
Chiddy Bang

It seems like they have been huge in the blogosphere since they dropped and one reason they stay fresh is the continuous drops. This mini-mixtape has Chiddy and Xaphoon doing work on tracks sampling the Gorillaz, Kate Nash, and Ellie Goulding.

Potluck
Tae K

I first heard his mash ups on youtube and have now been enjoying his mixtapes for a couple of years. Soulmates one of his firsts tapes is still in heavy rotation in my car. In general, he picks some pretty perfect pairs, like Jay-Z on top of the Oceans 11 theme. Even more interesting is when he pulls off a song where Eminem is on top of a sample of a Mega-Man battle theme or the Wu-Tang Clan spitting on a Korean song his mom was listening to. He doesn't disappoint here sampling everyone from Drake to Muse.
