Anybody hungry for that classic spirit of hip hop? Here's some underground rap from Florida-based emcee Shinobi Stalin...
If the name or the steez is familiar to you, you might'a downloaded Rezistance Musik the mixtape from the Mutant Emcee Collective. It's good to hear Shinobi spread out rhymes over diverse beats and subject matters by himself. Shinobi spits heady, no-nonsense rhymes that will appeal to rap junkies of all sorts. give him a listen.
My first exposure to Mygrane McNastee was on that free Mutant Emcee mixtape I posted recently. Obviously, it was dope enough that when I saw this joint, I snagged it to share with you...
this is a Mygrane's run at the classic Badu burner The Healer(from her record New Amerykah Part One). For all my deejays out there, will someone please mix this with the Pharoahe Monch version and email it to me? I'll make you famous... yeah, so anyways, please enjoy this with my compliments...
If you wanna listen to a whole lotta rappers who need Jesus really bad, peep this. Indie rap just like mom usedta make...
For the record, Mutant Emcee Volume 1: Resistence Muzik is like 27 tracks long, with a few skippable tracks, but really it's got more than a few that are really brilliant. I used to live for tapes like this, actually PAYING for them to help me discover new talent. Had I paid $10 bucks for this, I would'a been ecstatic to discover artists like Sean Wan, MERCURY, Burger and Mygrane McNastee, who consistently spit flames on this one. If you're in a hurry, make SURE to listen to track 8 (Out of My Mind), track 14 (Faded Foxes), track 15 (Hip Hop Was Never Dead), and track 25 (No Sell Out). But you'll get a lot out of this if you're able to resist hitting the skip button. Like a lotta indie rap tapes, Mutant Emcee Volume 1: Resistence Muzik has lots of songs that are missing something... but what they have is worth hearing, if you actually LIKE hip hop. Songs like track 6 (My Gun) and track 13 (Blunts for My People) feature some quality rapping that is a lot better than the hooks that they share space with. Now that cats tend to flood the streets with these tapes, we get 'em free, so what do I got to complain about? Plus, this joint has mad X-men drops and slick comics references, so it's worth it just for that! click here to cop it free, suckaz...
