2010 Rap Up

Mystro is easily one of my favourite MCs and characters in music - lyrically he is on a completely different level to anyone else. So when I heard he was going to do another Rap Up, after the success of the 2009 edition, it’s safe to say that I was pretty excited. I’m happy to report that he didn’t let me down. Produced by Black Einstein, this track is the perfect way to close the year. Simply too good.

Syllables

An old track, but this is still absolute fire. Em & Jay’s verses are ridiculous, but Stat Quo & 50 still do their thing. Shame this won’t be on Detox.

Learning To Swim

Learning To Swim is a track taken from Mikill Pane’s latest freEp, Shatter. I only came across his music a few months ago, and have been nothing but impressed by everything I have heard thus far. He raps over obscure and unique beats that wouldn’t necessarily be classed as stereotypical Hip-Hop beats and always tells a story, which is something that not enough rappers seem to be able to do these days. Look out for him featuring on one of my favourite tracks from Ed Sheeran’s collaborative EP, which will be available to buy January. You can download this EP here and follow him on Twitter - he’s not only talented, but also a very funny fella too.

Comin' & Goin'

This is a track taken from Asher Roth & Nottz Raw’s collaborative EP and features Chicago MC, Rhymefest. Enjoyed this much more than Roth’s debut album.

I'm V.I.P.

Bit of a weird line-up, but this is another sick track from Consequence’s upcoming mixtape, Movies On Demand 2. One of the most under-rated MC’s of all time.

Get Down

One of my favourite NaS tracks has been given the once over by Cookin Soul, and the result is rather delicious. You can find it on their new mixtape with Don Cannon, which you can download HERE.
