Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes, Topp Dogg Hill & Skyhigh Recordz brings us E-Skillz: ‘Mr.Nobody’ Mixtape, mixed by DJ Ykcor. As usual with a Coast 2 Coast Mixtape DJ the quality is on point and again DJ Ykcor makes sure of that with the production bein as good as its gonna get. The majority of the tracks are straight but a couple don’t feel like they on the same level with both lyrics AND production. The first two tracks after the intro might be some of E-Skillz’ best and he really had me goin ‘this tape is about to be crazy.’ Track 3 had some features on it including Topp Dogg Hill’s Whitefolkz with an artist named I, this was probably the most lyrical track on the mixtape and it would be hard to go against that. Skillz held his own on that and from this freestyle alone I became a supporter, given the right circumstances this dude is nasty.. Track 4 got into a semi-rock sounding beat that was totally different from the previous two tracks. It wouldn’t be a radio track so I take it as him checkin his flexibility on tracks and I don’t think this was the right direction to go in. ‘Stayin in your lane’ can sometimes be very real.. You could imagine 50cent singin and he could pull it off but Jay-Z singin would prob be the end of his career. The lyrical content was still there and Skillz wasn’t singin but his approach seemed wrong cuz the track just didn’t feel right. He moved away from it and from that point on the tape redeemed itself.
When I got to track 11 “Mad At The Kid”, I gotta say I never heard any beat like that before but I don’t think every rappers contribution to the track was as good as it coulda been. For such a unique n gutta soundin beat I was expectin some awe inspirin shit, I didn’t get that but the track flowed well regardless. Skillz follows the right procedure on the rest of the tape by showin diversity and makin sure that nothing sounds the same with songs like track 15 ‘I keep’ that stands out as soon as its heard.. As quick as it got into grimey shit on track 11, track 21 “Day to Day” mellows it down into a ‘reminisce on things’ humble type flow. It was strong enough to make you sit there and zone out for a sec but lyrical enough for you to see that he could spit. “Day to Day” was one of the best on the tape and still shows that hes versatile enough to adapt to the mood of a track without fuckin up his character. “I might be Mr.Nobody right now… But you gonna get to know me.” At the end of the day you cant front on this quote.. alotta upcoming rappers are trash and they don’t even realize that. Then you got the ones that actually put out shit that could eventually be takin em places.. like this one

Review: Whitefolkz ‘F@%K YOUR MIXTAPE’Vol 1.
Artists dont understand that if you have the best lyrics in the world, no one is gonna hear it if you make theirs ears bleed. The first step in putting out a good tape is having the production to go with it and DJ YKCOR holds that down here. The next part is consistency and you wont see any issues with that on the tape either. Whitefolkz stands out for the fact that he doesn’t try to be what he isn’t and that’s why hes better than a lot of you. You can listen to any song on this tape and wouldn’t be able to compare the sound with anyone else because he has originality. Aside from having a unique sound Whitefolkz got flow with the lyrics to go with it. Tracks 5 & 11 go hard and it really doesn’t matter if you accept that or not cuz he got bars. Play track 10 ‘Pussy Pussy Marijuana’ then tell me you aint fuckin with him, it seems like he could go into any area of music and still do it right. If you never heard this man then you gotta get on that. Might be hesitant at first but hes better than most rappers that you know, take my word on that..

A Taste of Chicago 2 reviewed by Will, A & R, Kishable Ent
Black Table Committee brings you "A Taste of Chicago 2," sounds like some of Chi Towns Finest on this. Every track has professional production with bars for days, its not over the top on any radio play shit, everythings gutta. I dont know if I was listenin to a mixtape or an album. There is no dead weight. Theres no 'this cat was nice but the other dude is wack' everybody on every track killed it. If the tape wasnt proof enough "Hate In Your Blood" shows that Infamous has bars and hes bout to claim his spot. Look out for these dudes.. I know you gonna get acquainted soon

What The Industry's Been Missing reviewed by Will, A & R, Kishable Ent.
@-Team brings us Wunda845's "What The Industry's Been Missing" and it isnt anything im gonna complain about. The wordplay is laidback but fluid, Track 14 'What We Do Is Wrong' was the first track in a while to actually make me go 'dam.' Outside of traditional/commercial artists that are expected to drop heat, Track 14 was one of the most well put together tracks i've ever heard from an artist that isnt already famous(or semi-famous). Not sayin that everything before 14 isnt worth listenin to because youll see quality as early as Track 2. The tape held consistency through its 30 tracks while still hittin every base that demonstrated versatility. Not feelin the delivery on most of the tracks for the females but the tape as a whole never loses its pace since you keep going 'when am I gonna hear another What We Do Is Wrong track,' you wont get another but its not gonna disappoint with tracks like 21 'Aim Squeeze and Pop It.' Look past some of the production issues in later tracks and we got a problem right here..

DJ BURN ONE & SAM FREEZE - "THE FREEZE CUP MAN" MIXTAPE
Download Here
(Unedited, we kept it REAL!)
DJ Burn One & Sam Freeze bringin “The Freeze Cup Man” Started the tape and flow was on point, lyrics were iight, and the production was on point. When I heard the second track I was looking forward to the rest of the tape cuz it sounded like something I could bump. The tape was playin out like something gutta, something appreciated if its done right and he did that good. You know that at the end of the day you cant get spins off street shit alone so every artist is gonna have to make a radio play song at one point. Freeze knew that n he was on it, the next track ‘Drop’ was a chick track but it came out good. I didn’t know what I was hearin at first but it turned out right, the tape was still goodie. You gotta know where to draw the line tho n that’s where he messed up.
The next track was another track for the females but he had on AUTOTUNE. Stay away from that shit it ruins your whole song, it doesn’t sound good. That was the only autotune track on the tape and it was the only track that made me smh, people need to dodge the autotune shit and they’ll be straight. The tape after that wasn’t as good as the first two tracks, that’s that autotune it just ruined ya whole mindstate. Track 3 was your bangers and it stood out on the tape, the consistency wasn’t there at all for the rest it. Look at that track and see what was done on it and replicate that. Too many slow flow laid back songs makes you sound like every other dude that’s tryin to get signed right now. ‘Trap’ was another decent track and it was because it wasn’t some slow flow shit and it was a grimey beat. Bring out more grimey flow Freeze or choose your beats better to help you stand out more.

Review: DJ STAR STATUS Presents Pyromaniacs
DJ STAR STATUS Presents Pyromaniacs features Booogz Boogetz, The real Freewayrickyross's new group The Squadaz,Wiz Khalifa,Ya Boy AKA YB The Rockstar, Young Reek with Exclusives from S.A.S off Eurogang vol 3, Garci from Ape Gang,Nox plus much more.
Pyromaniacs reviewed by Will, A & R, Kishable Ent.
DJ Star Status brings us the 'Pyromaniancs 2009' Mixtape, this is a quality drop from a quality DJ. The tape got 18 songs with RAPPERS not some cats that think they nice but would never even bump their own shit. S.A.S. with the artist Kayos put out some fire with 'Die Slow', the beat on that was bananas with the bars in the same lane. This dude Eliseo Way(Of Treal) on track 6 sounds like Plies except has wordplay. From other tracks I've heard in the past tryin to go in the same direction, this one is definitely radio ready.. Track 16 'Stash' by Bailey definitely stood out, got a unique grimey sounding beat and he aint waste it. Ape Gang (they are crackk), Wiz Khalifa, Skyy High, could be here all day because the line ups a problem. You got a tape right here that isn't going disappoint, none of artist on here used auto tune and they need a trophy for that shit. My favorite track was the very first one by Shizze Robertino and you will know why when you listen, not hard to get locked in when you hit play. If you aint hear this yet then you 'gotta get with it'.

Mixtape Review
By Will aka Da Stunt
Hosted by DJ Young Cee and presented by Shadyville DJs & Urban Relations, we have “I Rep D League” the mixtape. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel with this. Each track is presented in a way that gives off the impression of no lyrics being forced and everything flows naturally, the way it should. Track 8 is real enough that a lot of upcoming artists could relate to it and it really stood out to me. They set the mood for the track and they touched on major problems that exist in the game right now, anybody grindin in any area could find a connection with this. Stepping away from that, the remaining tracks on the tape nail the formula for blowin up. They portray traits of necessary flexibility that so many artists can’t accomplish when they try to step out of their lane. The last track features a singer by the name of TreeCeeLee and it came out so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her a lot more in the future. The tape as a whole is another breath of fresh air for Hip Hop and I could only see D League growing even better over time.
About D League
These young, ambitious and talented professionals are thinking and logically plotting the next step in their careers. D League was formed 5 years ago when both Demo and Uncut realized their passion for music. Representing opposite sides of the globe allows them to combine their experiences and lifestyles, which creates astounding music.
Being of Jamaican heritage and possessing Uptown Bronx swagger, Uncut makes up one half of the duo. With a real and uncut approach (hence the name Uncut) to music, this young professional is prepared to sit at the table with any Hip-Hop mogul, being that he is the businessman of the group . Vietnamese blood and a Bay Area upbringing, gives Demo the potential to surpass even his own limits. Though this laid back rapper symbolizes nothing of an “average rapper,” you would do much not to underestimate this lyrical warrior.
These two has taken their time to learn the business from the outside in; spending much of time in the studio strengthening and honing their skills. With the South making their presence known, and acts like Rick Ross and T-Pain gaining notable success, D League is positioned well for the next stage; better yet, center stage.
They have opened up local concerts throughout South Florida for artists such as Rick Ross, Chamillionaire, Young Dro, Trina and Lil’ Wayne, just to name a few. They have been spotlighted in Ozone Magazine, BET Notarized, BET The Deal, Thisis50.com, Allhiphop.com, YoRaps.com,Kaboom Magazine, Hip Hop Weekly, and the cover story of Nine5Four magazine. With musical depth and character to match, there is no wonder as to why D League is here to take center stage and show the next generation what it means to be “real.”

Their latest released mix tape "Makin Moves" is hosted by the infamous DJ Q45 of BET's Rap City and their second installment "I Rep D League" hosted by Shadyville DJ Young Cee is out NOW!. D League continues their non-stop grind with their 3rd installment, "I Rep D League vol2" hosted by Mr. Southern Smoke himself, DJ Smallz. In a time of the recession these 2 artists really show you how to come up no matter the odds.

Cridie Mac brings us "Theres Only 1 King"
Our Thoughts:
This is gold. Slaughterhouse affiliate Cridie Mac brings us "Theres Only 1 King" the mixtape. He goes in on every turf and takes it over. Grimey tracks, slower tracks, club tracks he takes on every aspect of Hip Hop while letting us know in the process that he isn't new to this. The mixtape starts off with an 'intro' which was executed extremely well. I was slightly thrown off with the start of the second track but it accomplished what it was meant to do while still remaining interesting. The last and my favorite track on the tape is the single "What Up Bro" which features Bow Wow & Ty Wills. I honestly gotta say that I haven't heard Bow Wow drop bars like this in years, this shows how much Cridie Mac can't be slept on because Bow had to make sure that his metaphors were on point. Listening to Track 9 would make you think The HeatMakers were here and you were about to hear a new Dipset record. With that said the beat is put to good use as Cridie Mac continues to prove how versatile his flow truly is, delivering a track that differs from anything you've heard on the tape to this point while still retaining a level of "I can relate to that." To stop the review from getting to lengthy its easier to simply state that the mixtape delivers, as I type this the tape is currently on it's second full play through. Don't sleep on this dude.

StarEasy Of The SEGA BOYS...."I Got Da Munchies"
Our Review:
The fourth iteration of the Official Gate Keepers Mixtape Series brings us STAR EASY of The S.E.GA Boys with "Got Da Munches.” Hosted By C. Wakeley, this tape has terrific production with an even greater delivery. It quickly becomes apparent that his name is not for show, a Star, Easy. With tracks to satisfy the hardcore in addition to those that easily qualify for radio spins, it’s hard not to find something that you wouldn’t like. This goes without mentioning track 6 or 7 ‘Anybody Got Some Trees’ & ‘Nickelodeon’ that’ll further extending possible appeal to the masses. As a whole, this is a tape that if you haven’t already, need to listen to.
