    Justice said this on October 23rd, 2010 at 9:55 pm

  27. …Guys this might be the best hip-hop album of the year.

    HiResDes said this on October 23rd, 2010 at 9:57 pm

  28. Here was arguably the most promising rapper out of Chicago right now. Now this one solidifies. Add-2 is (2) dope CHICAGO ILLINOIS!!!!

    Bcold5 said this on October 23rd, 2010 at 10:00 pm

  29. This is one of the illest mixtapes released this year. Add-2 is one of the promising artists out.

    Trey Bones said this on October 23rd, 2010 at 10:07 pm

  30. I think he and Quest are the best up and comers.

    HiResDes said this on October 23rd, 2010 at 10:16 pm

  31. So yeah…I’m really not one to comment but Add-2 I’ve heard your other mix tapes and was very impressed but you have left me speechless by what you gave on Off the Cloud, which is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL..I am in love with what you were gifted to ADD-2 the talents of the UNTOUCHABLE producer, IIL Meel …I know good music when I hear it and when something evokes the emotions this work has for me I know its REAL…you have made your mark with me…OFFICIALLY a supporter.

    PLEASE KEEP GIVING! I LOVE YOU Mr. IIL Meel :).

    Sub said this on October 24th, 2010 at 2:25 am

  42. Man like I said on last.fm, if Add-2′s camp wants to put the FLAC version up I’d be willing to pay ten bucks for this easy. I feel bad getting it for free.

    HiResDes said this on October 24th, 2010 at 2:36 am

  43. I was under the impression that there was NO Vol. 1

    I’ve even searched for safe measure. Can someone clarify? If there is a Vol. 1, then post please!

    bf said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:00 am

  44. Think I’ll check it out off the strength of the comments, listened to a track a couple months ago but wasn’t feelin it..had good lyrics but that’s about it

  47. it’s bout to be the best independent album of the year!!! downloading right now! ADD-2 IS THE TRUTH! Don’t sleep homie! check it out!

    SpeakinTheTruth said this on October 24th, 2010 at 7:11 am

  48. @bf – In fact there was vol.1 recorded but Add said the recordings got lost or something like that and the only cd he has with it has a lotta scratches and scuffs on it so it wouldn’t even play well. So you won’t find vol. 1 online.

    SpeakinTheTruth said this on October 24th, 2010 at 7:29 am

  49. ive been followin dude for a minute but lets face facts here

    dude is talented, has good rhymes, can rap, etc…

    but he boring as fuck…….he lacks the “IT” factor which is why i guarantee he will NEVER BLOW

    ill RhymeSeeker said this on October 24th, 2010 at 12:13 pm

  55. Does anybody have alink to vol. 2? How about a re-post?

    To Mega Therion said this on October 24th, 2010 at 12:21 pm

  56. So far this and Kendrick Lamars tape are the dopest things I’ve heard. Off Our Cloud, Black Out, The Feeling Is Gone or Cassette Tapes are some of my favs

    Add-2 you outdid yourself on this one bro. Calling it a mixtape is selling it short, THIS IS AN ALBUM

    Its Dat Time said this on October 24th, 2010 at 12:23 pm

  57. This is dope

    wrer said this on October 24th, 2010 at 12:56 pm

  58. I think this is far greater than the Kendrick Lamar tape, Add-2 is just on another level lyrically.

    HiResDes said this on October 24th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

  59. This is a very nice mixtape.

    apoclyps said this on October 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm

    derrik said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:14 pm

  63. @fulltimeboss you cant guarantee anything. add-2 isnt flashy and have much of that “industry artist” swag, but he still has alot of style and character. did you ever here “hoes got feelings”, “locker room stories” or the “big bad wolf” from vol. 3? or both menace themes, and the slue of tracks that got character and style on vol.4? the dudes def got it where it counts. and thats what really matters.

    iilmeel said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:18 pm

  64. This album is truly amazing…left me speechless. The production is tight, the rhymes are blazin, and the vibe of the whole album is incredible.

    Shout out to Meel for the production on “Off Our Cloud” you crazy for that one d-_-b

    DreBrown said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:28 pm

  65. The only thing I didn’t like about this was the mixing, sometimes it’s really hard to hear him over the beats. Asides from that this tape is solid like the last two. Vol. 3 is still my fav though, Luxury was my fav song of ’09.

    YaBoyRampz said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:45 pm

  66. Whenever ppl say someone doesnt have “it” its just a matter of opinion. Like to me I thought Cyhi the prince doesnt have it but he got signed with Kanye somehow. Some people some people dont but Add-2 to me is sick with it. Fulltimeboss I’d say listen to this one song and tell me this isnt sick…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-NivlKRZb0

    Its Dat Time said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:45 pm

  67. Oh and co-sign iilmeel. Add’s got character man, just listen to “The Dating Game” on vol. 2 lol.

    YaBoyRampz said this on October 24th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

  68. @Meka can u fix the usershare link? i get viruses everytime i download off mediafire but i want to check this out. but i wont download it off mediashare tho

  69. Fire!!! As The World Burns is my shit

    Dr. White said this on October 24th, 2010 at 6:39 pm

  70. Best mixtape of the year by far. And that means alot considering all of the major label artists putting tapes out. Give Add his props for the quality of music he consistently puts out. From the flow, delivery, creativity, and message of each and every song….aren’t too many artists out there that can compare. 22 tracks with 2 interludes, so there’s 20 solid and amazing tracks this guy is putting out for free! Props to Add-2 for keeping real hip hop alive.

  71. AFTER LISTENING ALL THE WAY THROUGH LAST NIGHT THIS MY FAVORITE MIXTAPE OF THE YEAR

    Always Sunny In PA said this on October 25th, 2010 at 8:36 am

  72. heh. i like to call this a wake up call…this is beyond dope. classic material here all throughout. keep it up dude. just know you set the bar up high as shit.

    musicSLAVE said this on October 25th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

  73. This ALBUM is so out of control…this has no business being free. The lyrics, the concepts, the production(some made Add step out into some places I’ve never heard him) are top notch. I feel like I’m cheating dude and every producer that put in on this. I have Vol 1-4 and the growth of this artist is incredible. But I hope yall got the ear to catch what this man is saying in Black Out…That shit is beyond words. My favorite mixtape of the year FLATOUT.

    Primetime Slanders said this on October 25th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

  74. I agree and this has been a great year for mixtapes.

    HiResDes said this on October 25th, 2010 at 11:55 pm

  75. Beats: 10/10
    Lyrics: 11/10
    Delivery: 10/10
    Consistency Of Fire: Priceless
    Add Is Mad Decent.

    Jets Bitch. said this on October 26th, 2010 at 3:51 am

  76. after a few days rotation I think I can safely say this is better than most albums. At first I thought maybe I was judging too early with what I said since it was so new but after a weeks worth of spins this album is nothing short of amazing. Lyrics, dope beats and great songs. Props to Add-2

    Always Sunny In PA said this on October 28th, 2010 at 8:36 am

  77. good god, who did the cuts on track 2!!

  80. Ok I slept on another ill ass mc! *smacks myself up against my forehead* shame on me for that one. If it wasnt for that actual proof track super genius i wouldn’t of heard add-2. Damn their are too many new mcs for me to fit on my ipod….sorry wiz your out! add-2 your in!

    yugang said this on October 31st, 2010 at 8:36 pm
