DJ Nappy Presents Cartoon: Mass Effect
All of the hype, leaks and previews are done. Right now, the next chapter of a six-year journey opens, with Disc Jockey Nappy presenting Mass Effect, his latest THUGSTEP refix project with Mississippi's own Cartoon, who took a grip of beats to task from talented producers like Teeza, Rednek, Rustie, Starkey, Bare Noize and plenty more. There are refixed tracks as well as some original tracks, exclusive for this release. And the train doesn't even stop here. March will see the release of Thugstep Commission 2, which is in the can and just waiting for your eardrums. For now, take a ride to this one. Literally. Spend some dead presidents this President's Day weekend and go in. Special birthday shouts to Nappy as well. This is everything you never thought you'd always need. Take heed.

Special shouts to ClubTapes for releasing this, and Definate for the artwork.
blackrasslin podcast 019
Shouts to David Otunga, who might be my favorite character on RAW. No, seriously. We break down RAW, preview the Elimination Chamber PPV that goes down on Sunday, kick into a grip of news (so much that an addendum is needed) and drop some sick new tracks. You already know.

Mister Cee's Big L Tribute Mix (2/15/2012)

Redman "Just Don't Give A Fuck Freestyle"
In a perfect world, I could get an eighteen minute, back and forth freestyle with Redman and Eminem just going in. I'd also have the Redman freestyle where he rapped over that Q-Tip song that had the Dilla beat that he spoke of on Juan Epstein. This world ain't perfect, but Red does beast "Just Don't Give A Fuck" like its 1992. Classic.

#MassEffect, Preview 5
Final preview/leak before Nappy, Cartoon and Clubtapes drop Mass Effect tomorrow at noon. For this final look at this monstrous tape, we find Nappy flippin' a cut of Chimpo's for Cartoon, who goes straight Pac over this one. The intro, with the wild percussion, sets the intensity up perfectly, and this one doesn't let up. Some really wild music right here, pure essence of THUGSTEP. As if you didn't already know, doe. You can keep wondering how Hip-Hop and dubstep will collide, we'll just keep leading the way.
The Garden Variety Show (2/25/2012)
The #GardenVariety show is going down on the 25th of February at the Trenton Atelier, and I'm kind of hype about this line-up! Guys like Skrewtape, Black Collar Biz, Mr. Fickle, Willie Dynomite, Rich Quick, Omega Ice and plenty more are going to be touching the mic, with beats from Divine Drummah & GovMattic, and DJs J.Gainey & Ahmad on the decks! $5 to get in, and there WILL be an open mic cipher. I'll be there, hopefully I can meet some more of Jersey's underground. More info on Facebook!
J57 Made A Beat Called Aqua.
McDuck back, and he brought his beat machine(s). Fuck McDuck doe. Word is vocals for this will be done next week, and should be on the BBAS album, which is due out Fall 2012.
The Combat Jack Show ft. Dallas Penn (2/15/2012)
Combat Jack and company didn't let a little thing like Kool Herc canceling shut their show down. What we get this week is a pure, unadulterated edition of the show, with Internets calling in, a Matt RAZ-less edition of the news, some special guests dropping by the booth and just pure hilarity. Great way to spend your day. Shouts to the fam.

The Two. Fifteens On 2/15
I had a brief conversation with one of The Two. Fifteens, whom I'd never spoken with via telephone. It's weird how your Internets works. My man actually hit me up because it was 2/15 and, you know, that's their namesake (although their moniker has nathan to do with post-Valentine's Day). There might be those of you who sleep on RTD, Benji B, XLR8R, Starkey and the other tastemakers who've latched onto the brothers, so it made sense to bring some of you nigras up to speed on their last two releases, The Commute, Vol. 1 and Stripes. Both are examples of the next-level of bass music, and great insight into the melting pot of sounds that things like your Internets can create. Hit the jump for downloads of both, and celebrate 2/15 properly - with The Two. Fifteens! And be on the lookout for Effective When Used After...
Blax - BLAX x LIFE x FILES
Presented by The Mad Bloggers and RTD, the MC formerly known as Adebisi brings you his new moniker, Blax, and essentially celebrates that with this 11-track release. Features include Mikkey halsted, Que Billah, Dana Coppa and more. For $5, you get some pure, unadulterated rawness. Stream the entire jawn below, and if you fucks with it, put some bucks on it.
#MassEffect, Preview 4
This might be one of the sleepers of the project. For you cats who are ready to drop some dance moves on the floor, this Zomby beat might be the thump you need. Cartoon wastes no time expressing just how wild of a boy he is, whether it's making sure he has his luchini or or chick. Perfect marriage of wild lines over a ferocious riddim. Nappy sure knows how to pick 'em. I'm not sure if Clubtapes is ready for the rampage Mass Effect is about to rain down this Friday! February 17th!
E.T. ft. Hus King Pin "Lumps and Bumps"
I don't know much about E.Q. & Tislam, but I love this late-night, double bass flavor. Has that Memorex/Jansport backpack flavor, middle of the cipher shit. Some coded language in here, let it seep in.
