mixtape: pitchfork’s selector vol. I (2012)

i was always hoping this would eventually surface, as this is easily my favorite thing about pitchfork. for those who don’t know, selector gives an artist two beats and they choose one to rap over – simple, right? some of the artists featured are currensy, the clipse, big boi and the based god. tracklisting below the jump.

introducing: dustin harkins [d-hark] – mister o’ malley (2012)

dustin harkins is quite the fellow. coming across him on the absolutepunk boards, he frequented the hip-hop round up i do weekly and very slyly threw in comments here and there, only to eventually drop his own mixtape on me. coming from denton, tx (outside of dallas) his rap name is simple and to the point, and mister o malley is a mixtape that uses other beats to explore his potential and work ethic to become successful, while touching base on his personal issues – including dealing with aspergers his whole life. and while this is an early sample of what type of artist he is, mister o’malley shows a lot of potential.

mixtape: roosh williams – better late than never (2012)

texas emcee wanted to celebrate hitting the big 1k for followers on twitter, and he did so by dropping a free mixtape featuring a slew of his features and freestyles that he’s done over the past few months, but just hasn’t released it. and because this is a celebratory release, it finds roosh in his more fun-loving element of rap. also, he dropped a new video for “the truth,” which you can see below the jump.
