Benzi x Diplo x Mansion On The Moon "Paradise Falls" (Mixtape)

While searching for another Benzi-produced project, we accidentally ran smack into the post for their Paradise Falls mixtape. Prior to, we had no idea that this was in the works, but happy to have come across it nonetheless. Although poppier than some of our other features, Benzi and Diplo apply Tricky-esque effects, creating a slightly more brooding tone. Be on the lookout for Mansions' debut album, which is set to drop in 2011.

Bilal "Robots" (Video)

Our friends at Plug Research sent over this aptly-timed Bilal video prior to Election Day 2010. Although we considered posting this yesterday, after watching the early results of the polls from around the country, we decided it was more appropriate to post today. When are we going to move past all of the negative aspects of our history?

Big K.R.I.T. "Before There Wuz Here" (Mixtape)

Big K.R.I.T. reminds us of Black Milk. Both build their own beats, only to turn around and blow on 'em as hard as possible. The end result is magnificent, highlighting the fact that the mono-a-mono method of the interchangeable beatmaker-lyricists presents a un-emulatable style. That does not take away from those artists who remain on one side of the booth or another. It is simply that when an artist knows exactly how he/she wants the track to feel and precisely what thoughts the track should exude, there is an unmistakable difference in its delivery.

Number 2 & A1NE Productions "Da Paramedix - Does Anyone Know CPR?" (Mixtape)

While in Atlanta last week, we had an opportunity to meet 2 during the Method Man and Redman concert at Masquerade. A familiar face around ATL, he also hosts Championship Fridays every first Friday in Chicago at Murphy's alongside White Jesus. He was gracious enough to let us hear his music, in addition to just knowing what the hell he was talking about when it came to music, the politrixxx of the day, and whatever else came up in conversation. Be sure to hit him up at 6ringsent.com
for more info. Until then, enjoy his latest project, featuring 4-ize, Phillip Morris, and White Jesus.

Co$$ x Numonics "Revelations" (Mixtape)

Originally turned onto Co$$ via his work with Blu and Sene, amongst others, we were excited to learn that he is gearing up to release a few projects that are sure to turn a few heads. One is Revelations, in conjunction with Numonics, who we first heard on How Thoughtful, the mixtape by QuEst. The morbid yet jazzy beats by Numonics cradle Co$$' words, drawing the listener into what he really wants them to hear. Also featuring Sene, Wrekonize, Naledge, and Freddie Gibbs Revelations is an excellent project and a must-have for Left Coasters.
