Some might not be familiar with the name, but I guarantee more than half of ya’ll have whistled their hit single atleast once since it was released. Either way… you’re about to hear the name a bit more at the dopehouse as Mick Boogie is working on a remix project that should be nothing short of dope.
The project is entitled Re-Living Thing, basically meaning a remix of their album Living Thing. The entire project is dropping around August 1st, but I wanted to officially leak the “first single” tonight. A remix of the debut single seemed appropriate enough… so here it is… with a group of emcees I call the “Allido All-Stars” lol… Wale, Young Chris, and Rhymefest. If you ask me, these guys would make an amazing group together… what do you think, Mark and Rich?
Monsters Ink consists of Dynas, Lex One, Mike Beatz and Streets Buchanan. The track Epic is produced by Mike Beatz and features the entire group lyrically. This song is featured on the upcoming mixtape Ink Made Me A Monster which is mixed by Mick Boogie and Terry Urban. Ink Made Me A Monster is presented by Akademiks, The Press Play Show, illRoots and Xclusives Zone and boasts an incredible lineup of accompanying MC’s and producers. With features from Little Brother, Freeway, U-N-I and production from Streetrunner, 9th Wonder and illmind, Monsters Ink showcases what’s great about hip hop and sheds new light on these emerging artists. Ink Made Me A Monster will be released for free digitally on Tuesday, July 21st.
I’ve finally arrived at my place of residence for the weekend after a 2 hour drive and now I’m sitting at a desk with internet speeds that resemble the running aol man.; but I’ve got some things to share so let’s go. The mixtape tributes didn’t take long after Michael Jacksons untimely passing. Here are four; from the likes of J. Period, DJ Slimm, Mick Boogie & Cookin’ Soul. Choose at will after the jump…
Fresh off his (2)dope project with ADDlib (Black Cotton), emcee Jabee is back with a new mixtape in the works. The Mick Boogie mixed & hosted tape, Must Be Nice, drops August 17th; and it will feature the likes of El-Prez, Oddisee, Johnny Polygon, Mac Lethal, L.E.G.A.C.Y., LMNO, XV and others. With production coming from DJ Green Lantern, DJ Vadim, Hannibal King, Rob Viktum and more. Included in this post is the first leak as well as a promo video (above).
If you didn’t know, my first introduction to hip hop came courtesy of MC Hammer’s Please, Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em, so this particular mixtape instantly caught my eye. Classic songs, interludes, original samples and some new 2009 remakes of Hammer’s biggest hits featuring the likes of Mistah Fab, Izza Kizza, 6th Sense and Chip Tha Ripper, spitting alongside re-done verses by Hammer himself. Tracklist and link under the cut.
I’ve always thought of this being a fantastic idea. You drop a tape with a DJ of your choice. You got your product out there, fans are listening. Then wait a few weeks (a month works too) and drop it without the DJ. It pleases the fans, it keeps your product fresh and your name is bubbling still. I know I enjoy my DJ free version of Bar Exam 2 haha. Anyways… Harlem’s Cash took that route and is now releasing a drop-free version of the Government remixed On My Way to Harlemwood 1.5. Presented by illRoots; featuring The Kid Daytona, Mickey Factz, 6th Sense, XV, Donny Goines, Shawn Chrystopher and more.
It’s always nice when projects land on time right? Al Be comes through on his word and unleashes his latest project, Hi., presented by Mick Boogie. 10 tracks; featuring Fabolous, Whosane, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Kanye West & Mos Def.
I dropped Rollin‘ last night and let it be known that UKNOWBIGSEAN is dropping this week. Now I’ve got another (2)dope leak, thanks to RR. You can also hit the jump for the artwork x tracklist.
I’ve been hiting at this record for quite some time. And now it’s time to drop it on the masses. Loso lends some bars to the latest leak off Al Be’s upcoming project with Mick Boogie, Hi.
