Since I feel jii like crap today it is only appropriate to post this one.

Whats Up? I hope you’ve been well since the last time I hit you up. Today is a very important day for me and a great friend of mine Lega-c. Today we bring you the first song off of our collaboration mixtape entitled “Jii Like Uggghh”. This song features DMV legend Tabi Bonney, and is produced by Dizzy Crane.This is a very feel good song that I know for a fact will go over well with your audience.

Congrats to Darren and Lega-C for getting Tabi on the track who is one of my favorite DC artists. Grab the stream at the link below because I am having uploading troubles at the moment.

As promised, here’s the MTLien’s latest mixtape, Life’s Not So Sample 2. Anything dropping on time is becoming a rarity in this world of hip-hop, so you could say Malicious is off to a good start with this. I have a feeling this one will make some noise with the blogs, considering it has a Kevin Nottingham co-sign (shouts to Kevin and ODoubleF for hosting this by the way) and a promising buzz track. Either way, Life’s Not So Sample 2 is a good look for the Montreal scene and a worthwhile listen. Tracklist and download link after the jump.

Malicious is a rapper/producer out of Montreal who will be dropping his Life’s Not So Sample 2 mixtape tomorrow, and if this leak is any indication, then it will be a tape worth checking out. From his press team:

 It’s about that time,

 After the success of the first “Life’s not so sample” mixtape emcee/producer Malicious decided to go back in and this time he didn’t do it alone. With the help of producers G.C.,Gee Wiz, Duo Tang, and a feature from rising “femme fatale’ Signif, MTL’s own Malish delivers a 16 track heater filled with raw chopped samples. You’d think someone kidnapped Just Blaze and Kanye and is keeping them hostage in Canada the way this tape is sounding.

Officially it drops this Thurdays March 18th with the help of Kevin Nottingham but to give you taste of whats to come here is the lead track, Fade out, of the new mixtape “Life’s not so sample 2″.

 THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

Malicious has been on the Canadian scene for a minute, so let’s see if this tape will garner him some love abroad.

This song was initially on the DJ Benzi/Elitaste/NUE Agency SXSW mixtape but now it is available with no DJ. I still like the original better but it’s cool of Asher to jump on a track with Outasight since he already has the major label album under his belt. Asher is someone who has gone up and down in my book, I used to dislike him, then like him and now I’ll listen to tracks here and there but I have to say his newest “Hot Wangs” song wasn’t doing it for me. The beat for this one though still gets me with the horns and the sung chorus, it just has a very big sound that reminds me of a cartoon or TV show soundtrack. Finally Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone before I forget to say it.

An unfinished version of this song leaked before with a different name but this is the CDQ of it. The song is unreleased and sounds like it was meant for the Purple Tape but for some reason or another it was left off. The beat is produced by Mondee and it comes from a different angle with the melancholy horn loops out and Rae does his thing on it. Wu-Massacre is dropping in a couple weeks too so this can help get all you Wu heads ready for the release. I’m not sure I have ever seen a record come out so fast after it’s announcement but it is a welcome change to the standard of pushing albums back.

I didn’t think we would be hearing more from their collaboration called The Stimulus Package but I guess I am wrong. This song was the bonus track on the iTunes version of the album (which would obviously be without the cool ass packaging) and is as solid as the rest of the album. The beat is another banger and to be honest I don’t think I have heard a single beat I have disliked from Jake One the past two years and that is about the highest praise I can give to any producer. The Philly Freezer does his thing on the verses two and I really like how these two styles mesh together making the album itself something special. Get The Stimulus Package at any online or brick and mortar retailer near you.

Redman is one of those rappers that I always admired yet never had the initiative to check out his material. From the little I’ve heard from him, I know he can rip it up with his fierce, confident, and randomly funny lyrics. The guy’s a character and it’s time I catch up on his work. “Buck Buck” dropped today via Twitter earlier today and it bangs. From the window-shaking bass to Red’s fire, this less than 2 minute track is….well, buck. Be on the look out for Redman’s upcoming album, Reggie, dropping soon.
