Back by popular demand, a new hip-hop/rap mixtape just in time for the Holidays. This is probably the most geographically diverse Nark I’ve made to date. The South offers up some street-drama and posse cuts via Bobby Ray aka B.o.B. (“I Feed These Streets”), Spree Wilson (“WORD”), The Clipse (“Popular Demand”) and DJ Khaled w/Usher, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross (“Fed Up”). Oh and a couple Cash Money appearances (“Mo Milly”, “On Fire”). Midwest hip-hoppers including Kidz In The Hall, Chip Tha Ripper and the entire G.O.O.D. music label come with indie-rock samples (“The Grizzly Man” and “Cudderisback”), a mixtape banger (“Get Down”) and a high-powered remix (“Whatever U Want” remix). The Northeast/NYC comes thru per the usual with diversity (“All Things Go”, “Humdrum Town”, “Irish Celebration”), 2 unreleased Wale cuts and a classic DJ Premier production (“Ready”).
The West Coast probably has the best representation with some surprisingly strong Snoop Dogg tracks and welcome comeback bids by Xzibit and Game. At this point, Xzibit and Snoop might have two of the slickest beats on the entire mixtape with Scoop DeVille‘s production on “Hurt Locker” and “I Wanna Rock”.
