They've been hyping this one for a MINUTE, and it finally dropped yesterday. Meka & Shake, AKA the heads behind 2dopeboyz, put together a new edition of their (2)Dope Mixtape series, this time focusing on the Big Apple. It's mixed byh DJ Slimm, hosted by the nigga Dallas Penn, and features heads like Sene, The Lessondary, ESSO, Brown Bag AllStars, Wordspit, Skyzoo, Torae, YC The Cynic, Tonedeff, PackFM, Cymarshall Law, Fresh Daily, 8th W1 and plenty more fire artists. Makes me feel like I should get my shit together! LOL. Hit the jump the goods...

BK Cyph "iQuit"

BK Cyph "iQuit" (prod. by Numonics): Been waiting for this one to drop. My favorite track from @Numonics' Being Cool Doesn't Pay The Bills has been my anthem for a minute. Just had a few weeks where I've felt the exact same day, but if you see myself and @BKCyph talk on twitter, we have some mirroring aspects of our lives. This is some real-life shit right here, and I know you 9 to 5ers agree with what Cyph is saying. Damn.

BK Cyph "Next Level Freestyle"

BK Cyph "Next Level Freestyle": Here's a lil' throwback flavor from the Rap Al Bundy. Cyph beasts over the classic "Next Level (Nyte Time Mix)" from Showbiz & AG. For the second time. Watch out for his Married... With Children project, which should be coming out soon!

Theo Martins Channel Surfin'

In Theo's words: “We named this project ‘Channel Surfin’ as it generally represented people and their short attention-spanned nature. Each song serves as a ‘Channel’ each different from the last song and so forth. The goal was to collectively mash them together to create what we have here. My life is such a TV show.?” Been charting dude's progress, and its great to see him shine. Download/tracklist after the jump. Shouts to 2DBz.

Theo Martins ft. BK Cyph "Electric Bloom (Remix)"

Theo Martins ft. BK Cyph "Electric Bloom (Remix)": Here's a leak from Theo's Channel Surfin' mixtape, which I heard is being mixed by DJ Wreckineyez and dropping in two weeks. Some really fuzzy math going on with that beat - like how the flipped the Foals sample. Theo's been getting a lot of success lately - I've seen his stock rise over the last few years. One to watch for.

MP3 via 2DBz.

EDIT Check out producer of the track AND the artwork Luis Valdizon's post about designing that art.

The Incomparable Shakespeare ft. BK Cyph "No Baggage"

The Incomparable Shakespeare ft. BK Cyph "No Baggage": Oh wow. Here's a twisted cut from Cyph and Shake from Shake's The British Invasion. The beat on this one might be a lil' left for you guys... or you might latch onto it quick. Had a lil' Jungle flair to it, but then it cuts half-time. Anyways, these two cats rip it to pieces, because they can. Wake up!

BK Cyph "Adrenaline"

BK Cyph "Adrenaline" (prod. by DviousMindZ): Damn. Not often am I getting a track that's matched perfectly with the lyrics being spit. You get more "dude's nice, but that beat is wack" (or vice versa) than true compliments. Both of these guys are doing their damn thing separately, but I had no idea they were linking up and creating this HEAT for the winter. Big guitars, beastly rhymes. You don't need much more than that!

BK Cyph Rhymes Are Easy, Life is Hard Mixtape

The homey BK Cyph hit me with this mixtape; he is a dope spitter, and I love hearing his new material. He also hit me with this message to put out with the tape, so let's hear a word from the homey himself:

I couldn’t pay my mortgage this month, but put out a free mixtape. With all of life’s ups and downs, it feels like music is my only escape. Thank you to everyone involved especially RL and Paul “Gooch” Cantor.

Real talk right there. Enjoy this.

BK Cyph "Ode To Panamanian Cricket"

BK Cyph "Ode To Panamanian Cricket":On twitter the other day, I made a comment about how Lady Gaga's ass > Lady Gaga's face. The nigga BK Cyph hit me like "I don't really see the hype", and hipped me to THIS. I was definitely blown away - damn. I know of a few Panamanians, and I never seen them stacked like THAT! Cyph said he'd rhyme to any beat about Panamanian Cricket ass, and I hit him with Cassie's "Must Be Love" instrumental, early.

Today he hit me with the ode; here's his note on the situation:

A few days ago some pics leaked online of some chicks at a Cricket game in Panama. FUCKIN AMAZING! Some folks are claiming photoshop and that may be the case, but I couldn't take that chance. I've already booked my flight to Panama City and I'm embarking on a Borat-like expedition- wish me luck. But before I left, I decided to write a little song about it for your listening pleasures. Oh yeah, shouts to Cassie and all the good folks in the dELiA*s mailroom. HA!

Speaking of Cassie, don't say that the she's topless... say the titties is out.

EDIT Looks like we've been had. Fun while it lasted?
