Mixtape Review: Shades of Mary – Jetpack Jones and Brock Berrigan

Shades of Mary
Californian emcee JETPACK JONES and New York producer BROCK BERRIGAN came together for their latest collaborative effort Shades of Mary, released last month.

With the 17-track mixtape, the duo mixed hip-hop with every possible genres going – 70’s groove, 80’s funk, R&B, reggae, rare groove and a hint of Latin  – you name it, they’ve done it! What makes this project so intriguing is the super cool, chilling-in-the-summertime delivery of quick witted, laugh-out-loud wordplay that suits every genre featured on this mammoth production.

Even if you’re not a die-hard hip-hop head, Shades of Mary is definitely worth a trial, because these two guys created really something special here…

The #Mustlistens: Simply Because We Can, Roll, Stoner Hill, A Shade of Love, Find Your Cool, Farewell.

 Now the last time this female emcee appeared on NEW LEASE MUSIC (with her on-point track, Juicy Freestyle) she promised she will bring something different every time…

…And boy did she deliver through  her latest mixtape, The Thrill of the Chase. This 15-track production boasts clever samples of old school hip-hop favs as well as mind-blowing beats that separates her from the rest of the opponents in the game (just listen to Potion and Spite). CATA$TROPHIC’S hard-hitting and (at times) loved-up and laugh-out-loud wordplay, makes her a VERY worthwhile artist indeed…and I’m not saying it for the sake of it!

The must listens: Lurkin, Watch Ya Step, Scandal, Potion, Spite

Mixtape review: 15 minutes of Fame – TC UNO

TC UNO 15 mintues of Fame.

1. Intro
2. Made you look
3. Grindn Like No Other ft Reek Havoc (Prod by D Hayes)
4. Fame Goes (Prod by D Hayes)
5. PoundCake Freestyle
6. We Want It All (Prod by D Hayes)

8. Got It ft David Rush (Prod by D Hayes)
9. Trophies ft Reek Havoc
10. 10.Family Affair ft Big K, Reek Havoc,AJ (Prod by Johnny Classics)

Guess what hip hop heads…the best master is back with his latest mixtape, 15 Minutes of Fame. Released last month, the 10-track album is bursting with shoulder swinging, get-off-your-butt-and-move bass line, finish off by the hip-hop artist’s second-to-none freestyling.

15 Minutes of Fame kicks off real good with Make You Look, which features on-the-money samples of NAS’ hit with the same name. And this guy knows how to use hit samples and make it his own…just listen to Trophies. TC UNO gave DRAKE’S hit a new lease of life by adding more bass and drive coupled with faster-than-lighting raps and laugh-out-loud wordplay.

TC UNO is known (by his loyal fans) for his on-the-spot raps…and he didn’t disappoint as he effortlessly spits in easy-cruising  PoundCake (Freestyle) and Inferno (Freestyle).

15 Minutes of Fame doesn’t fizzle out with last track, Family Affair. With summery, throw-your-hands-up-in-the-air beats and soothing raps, this track has all the right ingredients of becoming a summer anthem.

Usually at this point, I offer my conclusion on an album or mixtape…15 Minutes of Fame is TOO good for that. So the next is to head right here and check it out for yourself.

Mixtape Review: Shit Real – Chri Dollasign

Chri Dollasign Shit Real

1.  Dont Mind Prod By Anno Domini Nation
2. Message Prod By Anno Domini Nation
3.  Footprints Prod By Anno Domini Nation
4.  If Anybody Listening 2009
5.  Forgive Me Prod By Anno Domini Nation
6.  Ask For Much Prod By Pusher Productions

South Carolina-based rapper/producer Christopher Lee – better known as CHRI DOLLASIGN by his loyal fans – has dropped his mixtape,  Shit Real under his record label ThaERA Entertainment.

Released earlier this month, this very short (but sweet) mixtape offers some seriously top-notch head-bopping, melodic beats. When you get the chance to sample Shit Real, you’re greeted with the catchy, shoulder-swinging, I Don’t Mind, where this upriser’s vibrant, slightly out-of-time raps (and I mean that respectfully)  completes the track. Message and Footprints offers a more angelic groove which can easily get a load of attention from commercial radio stations. Shit Real finishes on a high with personal favourite Ask For Much, where Chri’s DMX-esque, out-of -beat raps just tops the track.

In just six tracks, this out-of-sight upriser proves that he’s a true contender in the rap game with his well-craft productions…not to mention his out-of-sight raps – can’t wait for the next mixtape! To check out what all the fuss is about, you can check out the Shit Real right here.

Mixtape Review: Potty Mouth – JaySin

Potty Month Jaysin

1. Potty Mouth Intro
2. Porta Potty
3. Roses
4. Enemies Bleeds
5. Horror Story
6. Death Wish
7. No Peace
8. Romance
9. DXB
10. Sh*t I Do It (Feat. Heavy Trev)
11. Role Model (remix)

Good news has come to Jason Slusser ‘s way since his last appearance on NEW LEASE MUSIC with his mixtape Clear Eye’d . He struck a deal with record label Diverse Sounds Entertainment which led to the birth of his first professionally- recorded mixtape, Potty Mouth released last month.

Unlike Clear Eye’d , the 11-track mixtape is a less radical representation of his life. Roses is a perfect example of this upriser’s fresh stamp on hip-hop, as it features a smooth soulful drive which is coupled with the Chicago – born emcee’s heartfelt wordplay of love and encouragement.

He hasn’t  deserted his truth-be-told lyrics. In No Peace, JAYSIN raps about the corruption and the influence the government has over society, whereas  Horror Story gives an account of the overall harsh experience of his past  – both tracks possessing a dauntingly-dope bassline.

Potty Mouth definitely ends on a high with Role Model (remix). With seriously head-rolling beats, this track shows that this black sheep of society (his words, not mine)  is not leaving the hip-hop game anytime soon. The mixtape  displays that he definitely deserves his new chapter with Diverse Sounds Entertainment.  To experience JAYSIN’s world, check out Potty Mouth right here.
