Upcoming mixtapes from Atlanta...

The Audubon Society

One of the best kept secrets in the ATL. You might have seen them around town. They just played the Earl this past Friday night with Collective Efforts, Supastition, Kaze, and Floyd Da Locsmif.

They've held it down at The Royal for F'in Socialites parties as well as at Django's. You can also catch them once a month over The Mark. Tune into their myspace page for updated information.

In either case, word on the street is that Mr. Mind and Variable are working on Volume 4 as we speak. That means two mixtapes from the NorthernArc fam (of which I am a proud member- no plugo)...Dj Unknown's "House of Brew's" mixtape is expected to hit late Summer/early Fall as well.

Until then?

Volume 3: "A Society Affair"



Spoke to Spree Wilson late last week and the good word is that the Knives Out MC is working on a Mixtape with Dj Jamad of the Aphilliates.




Wow. Heard it might have some ill conceptual shit to knock us off our feet. I cannot wait to see what those brothers have in store for us.

Heard anything else about the Atlanta music scene latley? Hit me up and we can talk about it. I don't care if it's Rock, Reggae, Folk, Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues, Electronic or whatever...


This week we are going to talk about Daryl Reeves (since I didn't manage to last week), Clan Destined, Buff1, Days Ahead, and Snowden.

You know, I aint gonna front.

I'm not always up on what is going on in the mainstream in terms of urban music- or even other genres for that matter. It's not like I don't like all mainstream music just because it's top 40. Some of that shit is good as hell. I just get tired of hearing the same 20 songs on the radio- and to be honest half of that nonsense is garbage for real. No damn imagination, no skill.




Alot of the D4L and UNK shit today is what Kilo and Bass music was of the past. Jeezy is today's Juve. I used to listen to all that shit when I was a kid. HARD. You think I wasn't up at Stern's Angle, Legends (GEORGIA SOUTHERN!) or the Gate acking a fool to this shit? So I don't hate on that coke rap/street rap shit. Shoot...I still listen to Killer Mike (like every day). ...Lawd knows that as much as I love their music that I don't want to hear no damn MF Doom or Kev Brown in the club. I wanna hear some Mr. Magic 'n shit. Uptempo or swingin' bows music. The club is what that shit is for.




Fucking around with the avant garde shit, tho I almost missed this cat B.O.B
This shit aint bad.
If anything I'd say he's inconsistant, but you can see the talent. On "Gangsta" he went off, for real. He's still young. He'll only get better.



Fuck with him. Get the Dj Smalls Cloud 9 mixtape here.
If you don't like that song "Gangsta"? Something is WRONG with you.
