Ladies first…
Right, this is a post all about a load of new music that’s available to you reprobates absolutely free of charge. I have also grouped it together because it happens to have been created by ladies. I’ll try to avoid all of the ususal condescension involved when “femcees” (sorry, that term makes me angry as well) are mentioned.
I believe it was Duck of Bam Bam Sound who told me Shystie was back and sounding good. I have to say on the evidence available I would agree. She does verge on the grimey side of things so I thought it best to put that in as a warning, I know what sensitive flowers people can be about this sort of thing. She has a full mixtape that you can download for free from HERE (if this link dies go to her Facebook page and you’ll find one that works), you can like her on Facebook HERE or follow her virtually HERE.
Next up are a couple of mixtapes courtesy of DJBooth.net which looks like it’s a decent source of free legal mixtapes. First up is Rapsody, a member of the group Kooley High and a protege (without the accent because I don’t know how to do it on this keyboard) of 9th Wonder.
As a follow up to her original release late last year she is taking the H.E.R concept introduced by Common and running with it. Not only are the beats provided by 9th Wonder, Nottz, Vitamin D and others but it features some crazy names including Phonte and Raekwon.
Download the mixtape for free from DJBooth.net right HERE, like her fanpage on Facebook HERE and follow her in the Twitterverse HERE.
And last but certainly not least we have Ms Jean Grae who has supplied us with 11 tracks of new material hosted by DJ Drama. I’ve always been a fan of hers since the first time I heard her on a Herbaliser track back in the day. It features some great guests like Styles P, Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch and some top notch production as well.
You can download her mixtape from DJBooth HERE, like her page on Facebook HERE and follow her on Twitter (which is highly recommended) HERE.
