Shizzio – 1st Things 1st: The Life & Times Of Joe Daki Vol.1 (2008)

A fast-becoming-famous UK rapper from East London released this unique gem last year, with a flurry of freestyles over own-produced beats and those well know. The mixtape is hosted by the amusing Kat Man, whom some of you may recognise from MTV and other channels.

IMO: Out of the depths of East London emerges Shizzio, someone whose hustle I truly respect. You may or may not have heard of him, so a quick run down goes: his biggest release to date is ‘Arabian Dance’ which was screened on all the major music channels, he recently went to the top of the charts in Miami and Venezuela with his refix of that Strokes tune called ‘Put Up Your Breitling’, and his new single is with US singer TQ. Oh, and he made it to the top 50 bachelors of 2008 in Asiana Mag too. All this, before he’s blown up. This was his first mixtape after his debut EP. Look out for his new mixtape called ‘Invasion Of Privacy’, which is on it’s way onto here too. See below for the links.

50 Cent – The Undertaker (2009)

DJ Hevehitta, DJ Unexpected & MKW team up with none other than 50 to produce a ‘Motion Picture’ mixtape, a novel way of saying they’ve arranged his songs in a unique order.

IMO: The PSA on this post is that I have shared this album in an attempt to maintain the discipline of the format I have attributed to myself for this blog. Basically (to be said in a Dudley accent), although I haven’t heard this mixtape yet, I’m in no rush to listen to it either. As for many of you also, alot of the tracks on here have been heard before, if not all of them. The concept for this mixtape was to demonstrate a musical autobiography of Fif’s life to date. Well, at least the album art is nice. And credit is due for the concept. See below for the links.

Elephant Man – Sweep Dem (2009)

Shadyville DJ’s Whoo Kid and Genie team up with the ever consistent Elephant Man on this bubbling mixture of Hip-Hop and Ragga beats. Some you may even recognise.

IMO: With so many fond memories of past gems from the Elephant Man, it’s hard to fault his vocals. This official release is in fact quite moorish, if it can be described like so. At least he hasn’t suffocated it in auto-tune or anything. Looks like a good start to the year for the ragga heavyweight. In fact, I’m listening to ‘Swagga’ right now and testing the suspension on my chair. See below for the links.

Jadakiss – Kiss My Ass (The Champ Is Here Pt.2) (2009)

The self-proclaimed ‘Top 5 Dead or Alive‘ is teams up with that ‘green guy‘ to produce another well put together hip-hop mixtape, preceding his forthcoming album release.

IMO: Okay, so Jada gets alot of underground love on the circuit. Not that I’d take anything away from him, but I don’t think he’s as amazing as he’d like to think. That doesn’t mean I don’t rate him, but Top 5? Come on now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That being said, this official mixtape is actually fire, which makes the series more credible as the first one was good too. Question is, is that Jada cough gimmick played out?

DJ Fricktion aka The Dope Enemy ft. TQ, Shade Sheist & Mams Taylor – Private Club

Not to be confused with Bobby Friction from BBC Radio, this one from Def Jam UK puts out his debut single with a wonderful hip-hop instrumental graced by a few well known names.

IMO: When I first saw the pics, I thought, what the hell has happened to Bobby?!? It took a while to realise these are in fact different people. No, really, they are. Regardless, shouts to the ‘Bobby‘ one as we have a mutual friend. DJ Fricktion, aka Dope Enemy, does have the right idea though in releasing this one for free – better to be heard than to remain on the shelf and not be heard at all. One more thing, the only thing I know about Mams Taylor is that he straight sparked Jesse Metcalfe for trying it. See below for the link.

DJ Furious – Best Of Classic Rapid Productions (2009)

DJ Furious compiles this mix of both instrumentals and vocals, showcasing the work that Rapid Fire Recordings has put in on the grime scene.

IMO: A little visit was paid yesterday to Furious’ website, to investigate this new addition to the DJ industry. You can’t just trust anyone you know, now that the quality of the art-form is clearly compromised with digital technology. Refreshingly, I was able to listen through his Westwood set more than comfortably. Okay, so I was familiar with the songs in the set, but they blended well. Besides, he’s put everyone’s favourite price tag on this one. See below for the link.

Trackstar The DJ & The Smoking Section Present Royce 5′9″ – Growth & Patience: The Best Of Royce Volume I (2009)

Royce drops this mixtape with Trackstar featuring classic spits, oh, and he may be releasing an album later this year too…

IMO: Royce spits fire, as you know by now. This hip-hop mixtape is courtesy of The Smoking Section. He’s currently also doing this rap supergroup thing with the likes of Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and of course the one and only Crooked I. See below for the links.

Erup – Click Mi Finger (Gearbox Riddim)

This had to be a personal favourite from yesteryear. It’s clearly a must have. I don’t know how long he’s been on the scene for, but not long enough to pimp his profile obviously. See below for the links.

SK Vibemakers – The Best Of 2008 (2009)

The London boys define consistency with their round up of what was hot last year in the urban music scene.

IMO: If anyone has been constantly putting out mixtapes of a high quality on the UK urban music scene, it’s these guys. They have released a respectable number of mixtapes with many major UK artists before they even made their name. Although I already have all of these songs (show-off), it’s a good compilation nevertheless, and you’re actually ALLOWED to download them. Plus, you get the skits too. See below for the links.

DJ C & Friends – Mas Hits (2008) (Mashup/Remix Album)

A cleverly mixed ‘mash-up’ album from DJ C, featuring all sorts of genres.

IMO: Found this while scouring the web. Quite a few decent remixes on this, an accumulation of mashups/remixes from Mashit.com. They’re so kind as to even let you download them individually from here. But that’s long. See below for the link.
