Droppin Ballz Vol. 23

It’s the special Jordan edition of Droppin Ballz, I’ll let Jason tell it:

This edition of Droppin Ballz is slightly different. First of all, I included the entire Royce EP (The Revival) sprinkled throughout the mix, just because it’s THAT good. You will also notice that I included songs from both the Phat Kat Carte Blanche LP and the Canibus 2000 B.C. LP. They are older albums, but I have been bumping them consistently lately and feel that they were both greatly slept on. Hopefully this will open up some eyes. Enjoy.

2) Phat Kat - Cold Steel feat. Elzhi (prod. by J Dilla)
3) Trife - Respectfully feat. Ghostface Killah

7) Alchemist - Acts of Violence feat. Oh No and Crooked I
8) Canibus - 2000 B.C.
9) Royce Da 5’9 - Count For Nothing
10) Termonology, Punchline and Rugged Intelect - Runnin This (prod. by DJ JS-1)
11) Inspectah Deck - House NIgga (Joe Budden Diss)
12) Krondon - Curtains feat. Chance Infinite
13) Royce Da 5’9 - Warriors feat. Slaughterhouse
14) Wale - Hot Shyte feat. Black Thought, Peedi Peedi, Tu Phace, and Young Chris (prod. by Ritz)

Hump Day Mixtape Vol. 12?

So the other day the good folks over at Drop.io had to shut down my Drop site because of a copyright violation complaint from some one out there on the web. Not like I was posting music that wasn’t already all over the internet, but laws are laws, I’ll just have to continue to circumvent them. SOOO a lot of my back links to music are now worthless, which sucks but we’re all gonna be fine. The new Drop is alive and well, but in memoriam, please download this mixtape I made which features a bunch of songs that were posted on the Drop during its lifetime. Basically a best of the non-hip hop stuff I’ve posted in the past few months (Diz Gibran song is an exception), cause you know Janks has you all locked down on the new hip hop with his Droppin Ballz series. DONT SLEEP, ITS FREE MUSIC, DOWNLOAD IT

Yeasayer: Tightrope
The Big Pink: Velvet (Gang Gang Dance Mix)
Bat For Lashes: Daniel
The Streets: Blinded By The Lights (Nero Remix)
Diz Gibran: Impossible
The Field: The More That I Do

Japandroids: Wet Hair
Horsepower Productions: Damn It
Burial & Four Tet: Moth
Cymbals Eat Guitars: Share
