NY and Beyond by dontsleepp

50 min of slept-on tunes from the 5 boroughs and beyond..enjoy.

I've had D-Sisive's latest in rotation for about a month now and it's most definitely a heater. Derek from Northcliffe has been catching on over the last couple years with Juno nominations and Much Music appearances, but I still feel he should be recognized a lot more globally. I posted some of my favorite tracks below, and you can download all 16 tracks after the jump. Don't Sleep.

No More Words


If...


Graffitti Wall


Russell Peters

Just a random post..some joints from Ryu x Apathy x Scoop Deville that dropped since their last release, 'Uzi Does It':

Left Behind (Prod. Da Beatminerz)


Dancin' On Ya Grave (Remix)(Feat. Xzibit, Murs & Paul Wall)


Opening Ceremony [Watch Video]


*Bonus* Ryu- I Did It To Myself (Prod. Apathy)

I've mentioned Burn One a couple times now, posting tracks he produced for Jackie Chain and Rittz. He is easily one of the nicest beatsmiths out of the south right now, and this mixtape has cuts he produced that you probably won't find elsewhere(including 2 tracks featuring Don't Sleeppp favorite Freddie Gibbs). As usual peep some of the standouts below, and feel free to download the whole thing after the jump..it's free so what are ya waiting for?

Rittz- Smash Potatoes


Starlito- Alright


Young Buck- Bury Me Alive

So I've been trying to catch up on this Odd Future movement and I checked this one out the other day. I'll be honest at first I was like cuz it's hard to imagine Frank Ocean's music fitting in with Tyler and Earl's..but this is pretty dope. Word is he's signed to Island Def Jam too..check out some of the tracks I've been spinning below, and download the whole thing after the jump.

Novacane


Swim Good


Nature Feels

Some feel good music from the Capo. Jones as a nurse made me chuckle.. ballin!

Some gully music.

Maino and crew keep it so NY like a playstation.

Yelawolf's artist, named after a cheese cracker, just dropped a solid mixtape with some banging production from one of the most underrated out right now, DJ Burn One(Freddie Gibbs, Pill, Young Buck). I've let this one marinate for about a week now..here's some of the standout cuts:

White Jesus (Prod. J-Plymp) [Watch video here]


High Five (Prod. DJ Burn One)


Fulla Shit (Feat. Big K.R.I.T, Yelawolf)(Prod. DJ Burn One)


Sleep At Night (Prod. Skapezilla)


Tracklist and Download Link after the jump.

Something gully off Rek's latest album..beat done by Lil Fame and his grill.

Evidence (Dilated Peoples) dropped this one last year and I feel that it went a little slept on. Twiz The Beat Pro did a great job flipping some classic Beatles samples and EV came correct with the bars. Check out a few of my favorite tracks below, and download after the jump (since you won't find this in stores). Also I added a interview where Evidence discusses his follow-up solo album [Cats & Dogs] to the critically acclaimed Weatherman LP, dropping this year on Rhymesayer's [with production from the Alchemist, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, etc.!]

Let The Beat Flip


Frame Of Mind

"I keep it movin' for my big brothers/ and new comers, that do not change every two summers.. For rappers that got on, only cuz they knew others/ and crews that split when they don't do numbers"

Debts (Feat. Dirt Nasty)

Holy white girls! Dope track/visuals..off Daytona's The Interlude.

Mega hooks up with the NY soul Band on some Roots shit..I believe they are remixing his last album 'Born and Raised', and if it sounds anything like the rework of Large Pro's 'Journey' below, it should be dope.

Cormega- Journey (Revelations Remix)


*Bonus* Track from the Revelations/Wu-Tang's 2009 album 'Chamber Music'
Radiant Jewels (Feat. Raekwon, Cormega and Sean Price)

Two of Canada's finest wreck it over a Rich Kidd beat..word on the street is they have a bunch more tracks in the pipeline so stay tuned!

"It's About Time"


*Bonus* "Shy Guy" feat. Shad [From Promise's 2008 Album 'More Than Music']
