THE SMOKING SECTION presents @DjBurnOne - The Ashtray (Instrumentals)



Download Mixtape Free | LiveMixtapes.com Mixtape Player

I really feel like insrumental mixtapes add a needed demension to the market. I wish more producers were prone to doing the same. This joint has some true bangers on it. Its nice to hear a producer that doesnt sound like the next guy. All too often I get instrumental mixtapes and all of the beats sound like remakes of top 40 trap anthems. STAY PHILTHY.

WHATS POPINGTON! During my lengthy break from cyberspace I came up on this new Ghostface mixtape. This project was produced by Max Tannone and true to its name is a very funky collab of your favorite gfk verses mashed together over funk instrumentation. Needless to say I think the project is pretty dope and recommmend all true Tony fans give it a spin.

@stalley - Lincoln Way Nights



Download Mixtape Free | LiveMixtapes.com Mixtape Player



The first time I heard @stalley was on a now classic track from @CurrenSy_Spitta called "address". I remember thinking to myself "dude has a very artistic approach to rhyming". His cadence was far from orthodox and I was kind of up in the air on if I thought he was dope or not. Some short time later I couldn't get enough of address. One of the main things I can digg about @stalley is he is def. an individual. He was recently signed to @rickyrozay MMG. This threw alot of cats for a loop as it did when @Wale was signed to MMG. People seem skep on whether or not MMG will truely let these two be their creative selves. I on the otherhand gotta give it up to #teamMMG for being trensetters in the game. Most times when people think of labels signing an artist, they expect that artist to make a certain type of music catalogue. What MMG is currently doing is aquiring stand out up and comers with a fanbase. So shout out to @STALLEY . Its a real good look!

I started this blog mainly to showcase the underground mixtape market. It really is a passion of mine. I also wanted to be able to showcase my citys best talent. Who else was doing it? Anywho I got hip to @pblakk from one of his videos, an a.u produced track called "CONCORDE ROLLIN". One thing I can say about @pblakk music is the dude is just being himself which is rare in the rap world. This particular project is P droppin bars on what I can tell is some of raps most classic beats and a couple of newbies too. One thing is for sure...BARS ON DECK. I am a fan.

Magnum Live Large project 2 #bestsubmissions




Ok in an effort to cover more than my usual mixtape mania I recently decided to cover the Magnum Live Large 2 project. I have to tell you that listening to over 400 submissions has put me on a fuck rappers kick. Now hold up before you get all tight at me for my opinion. I am simply saying I respect artist. I respect those individuals who put more than a simple effort into their submisssions. So when I think about picking an up and coming act to represnt a major brand the phrase total package comes to mind. Which brings me to the submissions I have picked as contenders in this contest. No disrespect to anyone left out these are just the videos that struck me as entertaining and professional. If anything these chosen individuals should make other aspiring acts wanna step their game up!

MAGNUM LIVE LARGE 2 PROJECT





Philthy Agenda is all about up and coming artist on the grind. So when I seen the video above for the Mangnum Live Large 2 Project I had to find a way to get involved. Not only am I promoting this contest (unofficialy), I plan on posting some of my favorite entries to the contest. For any emcee who is interested you still have time to film your entry to the contest. Since I am not getting paid to promote I will not be providing all the contest details (thats the videos job). I will let it be known that there a four beats available for this contest or you can spit your 16 acapella. To keep it all the way funky I downloaded all the beats to the contest and I was suprised the competition didn't have a better beat budget. Dont get me wrong I applaud Trojan for pushing the envelope while promoting there product. I just gotta be honest and say If I was working for the contest I would have picked 4 beats from 4 diff. up incoming HOT producers. Naw I dont know who did the beats but one thing is for sure... the tracks are luke warm (step ya game up bruh!the person who picked the beats and the person who made em even the group of folks who signed off on em step yo mfn game uuup! rah!) Aside from that this contest is still a good way for hot unknowns to get noticed and on the plus side if you can take those beats and make some dope shit, the game needs you. As far as prizes and other details head over to magnumlivelarge.com for the entire scoop. RAAAHHH!

I just got a hold of this new vid from my fam Grmmface. This joint is without a doubt food for thought! I've heard my fair share of Columbus anthems but this one is currently at the top of my list. GRMMFACE not only pays proper homage to his hometown but the samples speak volumes on his musical background. SOULFUL! Be on the look out for more music from GRMMFACE.

MLK's NAME SAKE

I never knew mlk wasnt born under that name till a couple years ago. MLK and his father changed thier names to Martin Luther. This is the story of a monk named MARTIN LUTHER. Upon reading this story I can understand where MLK got the courage to seek a better day.....IT WAS IN HIS NAME SAKE! ENJOY




Few if any men have changed the course of history like Martin Luther. In less than ten years, this fevered German monk plunged a knife into the heart of an empire that had ruled for a thousand years, and set in motion a train of revolution, war and conflict that would reshape Western civilization, and lift it out of the Dark Ages.

Luther's is a drama that still resonates half a millennium on. It's an epic tale that stretches from the gilded corridors of the Vatican to the weathered church door of a small South German town; from the barbarous pyres of heretics to the technological triumph of printing. It is the story of the birth of the modern age, of the collapse of medieval feudalism, and the first shaping of ideals of freedom and liberty that lie at the heart of the 21st century.

But this is also an intensely human tale, a story that hurtles from the depths of despair to the heights of triumph and back again. This is the story of a man who ultimately found himself a lightning conductor of history, crackling with forces he could not quite comprehend or control.

For Luther, in a life full of irony, would find himself overwhelmed by his own achievements. As his followers sought to build a new and just Europe around him, he could only turn on them in frustration, declaring that his - and their - only goal should be Heaven.

Martin Luther stands as a hero, the man who built the bridge between the two halves of the last millennium, the Medieval and the Modern. His tragedy was that he would never find the courage to cross it himself.

Martin Luther was born into a world dominated by the Catholic Church, which holds spiritual dominion over all the nations of Europe. For the keenly spiritual Luther, the Church's promise of salvation is irresistible - caught in a thunderstorm, terrified by the possibility of imminent death, he vows to become a monk.



But after entering the monastery, Luther becomes increasingly doubtful that the Church can actually offer him salvation at all. His views crystallize even further with a trip to Rome, where he finds that the capital of Catholicism is swamped in corruption.

Wracked by despair, Luther finally finds release in the pages of the Bible, when he discovers that it is not the Church, but his own individual faith that will guarantee his salvation.

With this revelation, he turns on the Church, attacking its practice of selling Indulgences in the famous 95 Theses. The key points of Luther's theses were simple, but devastating: a criticism of the Pope's purpose in raising the money, "he is richer than Croesus, he would do better to sell St Peters and give the money to the poor people...", and a straightforward concern for his flock, "indulgences are most pernicious because they induce complacency and thereby imperil salvation".

Luther was not only a revolutionary thinker, he would also benefit from a revolutionary technology: the newly invented machinery of printing. A single pamphlet would be carried from one town to another, where it would be duplicated in a further print run of thousands. Within three months, all Europe was awash with copies of Luther's 95 Theses.

Martin Luther had inadvertently chosen unavoidable conflict with what was the most powerful institution of the day, the Catholic Church. (article from PBS.ORG)

Philly P- Number 2'n (co-starring Nes Wordz)



I recently had the pleasure of posting a project by Philly P and Nes Wordz called "The Suffocation Vol I" so needless to say I have been waiting for a follow up. Number 2'n is more of a Philly P solo but with Nes Wordz on his co-star role the project still provides more of that winning chemistry from the duo I was looking for. In short what you can expect from this project is dope bars, solid beat selection as well as some pretty catchy hooks via Nes Wordz. Enjoy.
