This mixtape cover ‘artwork’ really defies description but it’s tempting to try anyway. Simultaneously hilariously awesome and awesomely terrible, it’s like somebody chewed up a stack of basketball trading cards, drank some horrible chemical energy…
Despite the name of this site being ‘The Rap Up’ regular Trubians know we always keep an eye peeled on the genre’s extended family as well. So when TRU nation brethren Enigmatik shot over a…
Tiggalo dropped his solo debut yesterday and also co-signed this mixtape by DJ Flash as follows: The Phonte mixtape to end all Phonte mixtapes. 70 tracks, 78 minutes, covering the past 10 years of my…
So what if Labor Day has come and gone? It still feels like the fun season for many of us, so go ahead and download the In Summer’s Ear free album from Yaves. Eight cuts of stylish consciousness with enough wordplay to make any picnic a real party.

Everybody’s favorite namedropping beef-baiter drops his newest mixtape today, including the diss track nobody asked for. That being said, the guy still has a great ear for beats and a dope voice, so you might…
Funny how two guys who were once little more than the tax write-offs in the No Limit empire have hit their creative stride years after they no longer are confined behind Pen & Pixel graphics.…
