L-Vis 1990 Gave Away a 'Decade of Dubz' Before 2020

The beats truly speak for themselves. L-Vis 1990 has made some of the dopest jams I've rocked to this month, so it'd make sense that he'd collect a batch of these bangers into a free download. This is definitely for heads who keep it funky on the dancefloor (and the DJs who provide their soundtrack), straight up and down. Sixteen gems, some original, some edits, all essentail. Stream below, grab for whatever you want to pay via Bandcamp.

Skillz is Back Once Again With His "Rap Up 2019"

Damn, it's been such a hectic year that I almost forgot that Skillz was back for another edition of his "Rap Up" series for 2019. It's almost like Skillz compiled all of the biggest trending topics or Twitter jokes into a five-minute cut. With a packed year like 2019, you almost need something like this to help you remember what even happened this year. Agree with his bars or not, Skillz gets props for just keeping this going. Stream and download his 2019 rap up below.

DaBaby's 'KIRK' Got Chopped Not Slopped By Slim K

Literally done working for the rest of the decade, so why not drop these uncut gems that hit my inbox/Twitter timeline/DM? It's a regular NYE ting, seen? Latest is a new tape from Chopstars resident DJ Slim K, who applied that chopped up (and never slopped up) treatment to one of 2019's most talked-about albums, DaBaby's KIRK. You know, the album with cuts like "INTRO," "GOSPEL," and "BOP" on it. It's exactly what you'd expect it to sound like. Turn this NYE pre-game tape UP. Stream the full mix below.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and MICK Soundtrack Your Summer With 'Summertime 10'

Usually, once I see something like DJ Jazzy Jeff and MICK's Summertime 10 (which in the tenth installment of their annual summer-themed mixtape series), I end up posting it as I'm diving into it. Like it or not, they are dope, and I can guarantee satisfaction just by perusing the journey in the tracklist. This year, it's a bit different; I was actually at my mom's during a Fourth of July cookout when this dropped. Being that we live in a Bluetooth world, I streamed the Mixcloud from my Pixel 3 to my speaker, and even my MOM was turnt up. It's that kind of broad, all-encompassing style.

Rich Quick - "Raize Of The Sun" (Music Video)

I just got a notification for this "Raize of the Sun" video from Rich Quick, which is taken from The Beginning Is Nigh, which dropped back in April. I still haven't even properly processed his passing. Rich was a genuine dude who was also genuinely talented, and this clip proves it.

I still don't know how to even talk about him passing. Questions unanswered. Glad there's material of his to still dive into, hoping to either find those answers or just feel his spirit while I'm still on Earth to shout his name. We miss you, Quick.

Mr. Carmack Really Loves Trap

As an old man who is occupying his days with everything but the everyday happenings in the dance music scene, I missed whatever was going on with Mr. Carmack being asked about his trap noodlings. Whatever the case may be, the acclaimed producer dropped I <3 TRAP EP, a three-track EP with trap stylings from three periods in the electronic music genre (2012, 2013, and 2016). The only note on the EP is that all of its inspiration goes to "Hucci, Flosstradamus. Jackal, and Loudpvck," aka some of the fiercest, most consistent producers in the genre during its heyday. Also means you should know what time it is when you press play.

You can grab the full EP over on Bandcamp.

Kozee Unleashes the Perfect '2k19SPRANGMIXXX'

While I highly doubt that the mighty Kozee made this mix with me in mind, her 2019 Spring selections are right up my alley. Not only is she featuring her own productions ("1992"), but she vibed out with all kinds of juke-y jungle footwork bits from the likes of Sinistarr, Phillip D Kick, Audio1, DJ Earl, and plenty more. It's long enough that I'd want to find a cassette to record this on Side A to, just to then throw all kinds of insanity on Side B. Also, Kozee, you can make me mixes any time.
