mixtape

Lil Durk, the Chicago spitter getting into beef with Game, shouted out by his peers like Chance the Rapper, and bringing mixtape heat for the summer like Migos before him -- thank him now. He's a straight shooter in more ways than one, telling ChIraq bedtime stories for his intrigued listeners. Production mostly by Young Chop for the Drill Trill, but some highlight moments by other promising producers like Cardo and Dree the Drummer. Full stream after the jump.

Country rap singer Rich Homie Quan comes through with a Young Thug assist. All the squeaky hollering is unusual, alluring and poetic. The trap keeps sweetening itself for more young d-boys to enter it and re-emerge jaded. They're all having a grand time of it. They got what you want after the jump.

Boldy James offers this preview of his song on Nas's Mass Appeal compilation tape. He's doing numbers so that's "crunchin," which continues the theme of creating new slang that he started on his M.1.C.S mixtape. He follows in a long list of guys who would be pretty okay without any rap money. He lets you know why too. Track after the jump.

The Chef over Isley Brothers classics? Mhm. I'll take it. Listen to his 16 over their classic "Footsteps In The Dark", part of his #TBT project. Listen after the jump.
