Today seems like an appropriate day to drop the long delayed follow up to this, one of the more popular compilations in the site’s history. The first volume dropped in the wake of Katrina and was a general primer on the very slept on New Orleans bounce sound. Here we veer into the gangsta bounce of early Cash Money and another of the stronger labels from that era – Pack. It’s also bookended by two proto-bounce tracks Gregory D & Mannie Fresh’s “Buck Jump Time” and the J Ro J’s brass band “Buck Jump” knock off “Let’s Jump.” Like the first the song selection consists of mostly classics with a few lesser known titles sprinkled in. Sorry about the crackle and fuzz on some tracks, you know how it goes. Please continue to support New Orleans in any way you can. Track listing after the second line jump. [Read more]
Happy New Years. My resolution is to write fewer words on this blog, thereby lowering my workload while simultaneously increasing my ad revenue. Here are some recent rap tapes. [Read more]
Forgive the silence, my internet is touch and go. Here are three recent tapes from Philadelphia Freezer, Atlanta’s Pill and DC’s own Kingpen Slim. I’ve yet to see the NODJ of the Free tape in the bogs but Jake One posted it to Soulstrut.

Gucci Mane & DJ Holiday – Brrrussia (Mixtape, 2009)

COLDER THAN A PENGUIN WITH NO COAT DRINKING A SMOOTHIE
A reader who requested anonymity just sent this over. Maad Circle DJ Crazy Toones killing it for 90 minutes straight, featuring freestyles and exclusives from Ice Cube and WC alongside a slew of West Coast classics and, oh yes, East Coast disses. Including a very direct shot at Funk Flex. [Read more]
Another Movie already? On my first before bed skim it’s at least sounding a lot darker and more street than the previous installment. LOL Smiley Face at the inversion on “Frowney Face” and this “Shadow” beat is some straight up Giorgio Momurder shit. It’s about conversations with his shadow. I’m not sure how folks can perpetuate the myth that Gucci is one dimensional or not a serious rapper when the guy consistantly churns out new and original themes like this. I mean if you don’t like his message or rap style that’s one thing but at least respect his creativity. Very few rappers are able generate new ideas at his pace.
The dentist who just fixed Gucci’s teeth can’t be feeling too good about the implications of this cover. Tracklisting after the jump. (Via DGB) [Read more]
