This is a fun mix I made to showcase new rappers that have emerged to the forefront in the last year or so. I picked these songs because they had a good balance of beats, lyrics,and originality. The mix shows there are artists out there other then the old school guys. These newer rappers are starting to make music that holds up to older rap standards. Some of these songs are new classics. So it’s important to highlight that.

I hope you enjoy some 2011 Classics and I encourage you to make this summer a rap summer!

The Mehrathon Mixtape is a collection of influential skateboard music from the 80’s and 90’s. Assembled by me and my friend Raj from Mehrathon, the mixtape aims at taking listeners back to the golden era of skateboarding where music and skateboarding were influencing pop culture in a new way.

[[MIXTAPE]] DJ COSMO PRESENTS: THE SOUL CHOP TAPE

Here it is! The Soul Chop Tape.

In these days and times of over-produced songs, I really wanted to make something that was more about feeling than technical value. While digging for records in Montreal, I challenged myself to make a raw mix by just cutting up samples. Since I’m only using these soul records to make the song- no added sounds or effects- it creates a feeling of chopping live like a DJ at a party with an MC backing him up. But in this case, the MCs I’m working with are Bun B, T.I., De La Soul, Lil Wayne, Method Man, Redman, Q-Tip and other A-listers. Peep the tracklist and you’ll get the picture.

Hope you enjoy the music and ride out to this.
