This song was featured on West Coast rap duo TiRon and Ayomari’s album that dropped last year, A Sucker For Pumps. The visuals for this track are gorgeous and were directed by David M. Helman. BJ The Chicago Kid is on the hook.

Mixtape Download: “Customized Greatly 3″, Casey Veggies
Casey Veggies, the Odd Future co-founder and former member, released the third part of his Customized Greatly series, Customized Greatly 3. You may have last heard the overlooked Veggies on his 2010 tape, Sleeping In Class, which was absolutely great. Of course, there is speculation that the split between Veggies and OF was less than amicable, but you couldn’t tell by the disgustingly fresh “PNCINTLOFWGKTA”, which features Tyler, the Creator, Domo Genesis, Hodgy Beats and Earl Sweatshirt, with production from Tyler, the Creator. I’ve long been a fan of Casey Veggies, and I’m sure this mixtape will enable me to continue my fandom.

Mixtape Download: “Cuz I Felt Like It”, Smoke DZA
Jet Life affiliate Smoke DZA released this free EP because crew mate Young Roddy released one, and because he felt like it. No, seriously. He really did. Cuz I Felt Like It includes the typical dope Smoke DZA lyrics, along with some of his favorite beats, both new and old. Even more enticing than new Smoke DZA music is the cover art for this EP. LAWD!!!

AUDIO: “Invincible”, Colin Munroe ft. RZA & Memoryhouse
Ever since hearing singer/producer Colin Munroe’s Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero tape almost 3 years ago, I’ve been rocking with him. What I like most about Munroe is not his voice, but the artists that he collaborates with. Munroe isn’t afraid to branch out and work with a diverse array of some of hip-hop’s best talent. He has worked with Black Milk, Saukrates, Blaqqstar, Wale, Skyzoo, Joell Ortiz, Drake and Mickey Factz, among others. Munroe, 31 and Canadian, isn’t really a crooner, but he can surely sing his ass off. I’m not sure who produced “Invincible”, which features not only RZA but rising pop group Memoryhouse, but it certainly has that RZA sound. Regardless, ’tis dope. This track can be found on his website.
Mixtape Download: “Premier Politics 1.5″, Sir Michael Rocks
Admittedly, I wasn’t very impressed with Rocks’ last release, Premier Politics. From what I’ve read, there were “too many songs” on the project, which is rather odd considering that on his previous mixtape, The Rocks Report, there were considerably more tracks. While The Rocks Report was undoubtedly dope, Premier Politics seemed to lack that “umph”. Maybe Report caught me off guard because I had gotten so used to hearing Sir Rocks over mostly Chuck Inglish production, but Politics left me disappointed. Premier Politics 1.5 has features and production from Cardo, brandUn DeShay, Chuck Inglish, Shorty K, Cookin’ Soul and more. It’s spring, motherfuckers.

Mixtape Download: “10 Day”, Chance The Rapper
The story behind young Chicago MC Chance The Rapper’s 10 Day mixtape is a truly unique one, and I’d rather not spoil it for you. Do yourself a favor and use the interwebs to conduct a little research to find the inspiration for this project. One thing I will divulge, however, is that this mixtape is disgustingly fresh, with features and production from everyone from Sulaiman to Chuck Inglish. The SaveMoney member has had Twitter abuzz over 10 Day, and this release is letting anyone know that he is a lyrical force to be reckoned with, at the moment, and in the future. UNGH.
