DJ Rahdu "The Roots Did It" (Mixtape)

We were introduced to DJ Rahdu while combing Bama Love Soul for a copy of the Paper Route Gangstaz' Fear & Loathing In Montgomery. Although his catalog may not be as extensive as some other DJs, we appreciate the fact that he chooses wisely from a short list of key artists, most of whom have been silent (yet critical) contributors to the culture. Total Wreck: Encyclopedia of Bahamadia is STILL on our playlist, if that is any indication of his talent (not that we ever get tired of listening to Bahamadia anyway). The Roots Did It is no different - it is a comprehensive mix of Roots-produced joints and it goes! Enjoy!

Diego Bernal "Besides" (Instrumental Mixtape)

Diego Bernal is SORELY underrated. His last installment, For Corners, was spectacular in its own right, but his latest, Besides, sounds ripe for summer days and nights.

Michael Uzowuru "The Mellowest Trip" (Mixtape)

Michael Uzowuru, also referred to as “The Afro Buttefly” is a dope kid and beat maker representing Southern California. His Instrumental Mixtape “The Mellowest Trip” is a mellow, fixating ensemble of jazzy samples, crisp drums and voice over samples from a mixture of films and historical icons. Easy to listen to the mixtape draws you into it’s simplicity to then take you into another world of deep conflict, truth and conviction. This kid is definitely someone to look out for.
