After much talking and many delays, we’re finally ready to roll out the campaign for our upcoming project, A (2)Dope Mixtape: Empire State Edition. An all-NYC mixtape that will feature the likes of Torae, Skyzoo, CurT@!n$, Emilio Rojas, Sha Stimuli, The Lessondary, Sene, Brown Bag AllStars, Chaundon, K. Sparks, Nero, ESSO, Donny Goines, Fresh Daily, P.SO, Punchline & Wordsworth and many more. We’re waiting to have the full project mixed by DJ Slimm and hosted by Dallas Penn before we give any release dates (that way we can be 100% on time); but expect it soon. Until then we’ll be dropping off tracks at random.
The reason I chose this track as the first leak is because a lot of you started asking about it after they performed it at PackFM’s IFHR album release party. Add that to the fact that I’ve been a fan of these two (and QN5 as a whole) for over a decade now. So to have them take time out of their busy schedules to create something specifically for the site is trully an honor. I really appreciate it.

wow this goes hard
“can we get the lyrics?”
maybe. if tone and pack are up to it that is.
nice to hear Tone finally switch up his flow.. would like to hear him rap not so fast more often… hook though.. no
the hook was one of the illest parts of the song. truth is crazy.
2FUCKINGDOPE.
Well thank GOD!! It’s about fukin’ time something like this happened…
@Juanka
the lyrics will be up on QN5.com tomorrow.
that artwork is hot. What’s the next mixtape project after the empire state edition?
“that artwork is hot. What’s the next mixtape project after the empire state edition?”
we might go back to the west for Cadillac Edition pt.2. while we build contacts and relations with artists down south for maybe an Atlanta tape or something. no quite sure yet.

“I get why Shake is Shake but why the hell is Meka Sideshow Bob?”
the relation originally came during the first year of 2dopeboyz when mek was more like a sidekick and i was handling the main front of the site. since then we’re more 50/50 in the game.
“Yonas better be on that tape”
he sure is. its a BANGER too.
YO SHAKE: u missed this one i tink
K. Sparks- Night Life

qn5.com/ifhr for more
These mutherfuckers can spit!
I cannot believe I was sleeping on these guys. dope as hell
this is FIRE, but its a little weird to me hearing tonedeff rap on such a mainstream “industry” sounding beat
^^^ CLAP = mainstream. lol
Oh shit you guys got Punch & Words on this project! I need that track asap! this track is dope too, btw
dope fucking song.
This shit is off the chain. I don’t think words can describe it.Qn5 bringing nothing but quality once again!!!
holy shit this is dope
cant wait for that brown bag all stars joint next!
this whole time i thought 2dopeboyz was supporting THE PACK..you know the group with Lil’ B!!! AHAAHAHA i always wondered why the dopehouse would support that wack shit. BUT THIS DUDES NAME IS PACKFM…hahaha just one dude. what kind of name is that? haha. now things are cleared up for me hahaa. dope song btw lol.
thx for tha lyrics Shake (and Pack & Tone lol)
Tonedeff is not human
PackFM >>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Life’s a revolving door, cus if I’m “going in” you’re going out.”
eww.
this track >>>>>>>>>> everything Ive heard in the past few months here.
algorythm is becoming one of my favorite producers. that stuyvessants mixtape was ill as hell. This nigga Tonedeff rhymed 16 syllables straight for 4 bars. With punchlines. That shit aint right! LOL I dont think i ever heard Pack do patterns like that.
“when I leave people speechless how will i get word of mouth?”
=0
Immensely amazing! I love this track. Easily one of the best lyrical tracks of the year!!
How did I sleep on this yesterday?! Bonkers!
This track is FIRE! All hiphop appreciaters needs to give this one a listen.
Simply insane all around. This going to need at least 100 listens to catch everything. I like how it’s more than just an “I’m better than you” rap because it has those elements but they both mix in inside stuff such as:
-Feed me beats that’s harder than the task of finding an Asterisk CD
-This track is the prequel to “Ruthless”
-And the line about the QN5 “mission”
Everything in this song is complex. The tie in with Sotomayor/Supreme Court/gavel/token spic/corn or flour/etc goes beyond your typical mixtape bang-it-out verse.
banoodles?
banoodles.
Aaaaaa, what a track to come back home to..
Tonedeff = GOAT! (sadly without the discography to prove it)
Fuck what you think.
Hey Shake, you need to get Reks on this for real
If Reks wasn’t from Lawton, MA that might work.
