New Mixtape: Sha Stimuli - The Chills (Broke at 30)

Sha Stimuli drops his 2nd EP The Rent Series, a series of projects that Stimuli hopes will help him pay his rent. Aside from that, he hopes The Rent Series will shed some light on the common man, which is evident by his understanding of the blue-collar worker on the 2 EPs released thus far. Stimuli has been a staple in premier underground hip-hop, so The Chills (Broke at 30) is a nice addition to the already impressive early list of 2012 releases.

You can buy the EP from Sha Stimuli's Bandcamp for only $4.99 here or stream it here:

New Beattape: Paradox - Habits

Paradox is a very talented 18 year-old hip-hop producer hailing from Upstate New York. With aspiritions to work with a wide range of rappers, Paradox is on a mission to construct an impressive instrumental hip-hop catalog to showcase the talents that he was blessed with. Everybody has different taste buds in beats, and Paradox is trying to satisfy as many as he can. Paradox likes to think of himself as a sound engineer as well as a beatsmith; mixing a very impressive ear for samples (which is evident by "Ohf" and "Boom Slap" on Habits) and an expert mastering ability. Paradox does not believe in being strapped down by a niche, and as a result he does not stick to a particular "signature sound". Habits is his 2nd beattape and is by far his best work.

Also, Paradox runs a very impressive blog called The Roll Off. He is always on top of the latest happenings in the entertainment world and is always covering the latest free music releases. I strongly recommend following the site.

New Music: Loe Pesci - Girl in My Life (feat. Uness)

Montrael's Loe Pesci (a third of OG Hindu Kush) drops a new track with Uness on Valentines Day as part of Uness & Crime in the City's newest EP, Paperflowers. The song drops just 2 days before the scheduled release date of his latest project GOOD X 2. Pesci and Uness trade verses, rap for singing, on the ode to that special someone in their lives. If this and OG Hindu Kush's 2011 album In 3D is any indication at all, then look for GOOD X 2 to be one of the most worthwhile releases in early 2012.

You can download the song off Loe Pesci's Bandcamp here or stream it here:

New Mixtape: Brother Ali - The Bite Marked Heart

Brother Ali delivers upon his promise of a new EP on Valentines Day Eve with his latest release, the semi-appropriately titled The Bite Marked Heart. As is always expected from a Brother Ali product, the EP contains top notch production laced by Rhymesayers beat conductors Jake One and Ant (who, when coupled with Brother Ali, create some of the best chemistry in the hip-hop today). Every single project Brother Ali has given us in his career has been of the highest quality, so expect nothing less from this EP.
