In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Reebok Pump Packer Shoes has commissioned the 5th Platoon’s Vin Roc to produce a special mix for this occasion.
Also on personal note Vin Roc has made this mix as a celebration of one of the NBA’s best loved players from 80’s. The Atlanta Hawks very own Dominique Wilkins aka “The Human Highlight Film”.
I put this mix together to commemorate his career and put together some tracks that were out during his time. Kind of like a soundtrack to his life and times Vin Roc
Now kick your weekend off right with this mix of classic tunes.
I got another great mix by DJ Franchise. This time he lays down some mid 90’s and early 2000 Hip Hop.Not total mainstream nor underground but a perfect mixture of both. The mix includes Nas, Rakim, Notorious BIG, Heltah Sketah & Common.
Coming out of Chicago and now residing in Tucson Arizona emcee Gregory Daggett aka Savant drops an incredible 8 song EP.Vocally and musically Savant brings back that underground feel of late 90’s Hip Hop updated for the new millennium. I’m definitely feelin this emcee and I’m sure you will too. Take notice wannabe MC’s this is what 2000 hip hop sounds like! And Digital Deejays these mp3’s are 320kbps perfect to include these tunes within your set/mixtape. Now I bring you Savant…

Who loves that jazzy Hip Hop? I got something for that you’ll sure enjoy all weekend long. Jazzy progressive Hip Hop masters Panacea graciously released an 9 songs free EP on rare remixes,unreleased tunes and album cuts. Raw Poetic’s flow over K Murdock’s production should fulfill all your good music needs this weekend.
A local deejay from around my way now residing in the Bay Area DJ Franchise dropped this great mix of radio friendly Hip Hop upon me. I was expecting the worst while listening but damn if Franchise has good ears for music. He selected and mixed all great joints within the mainstream Hip Hop / R&B landscape. Even if you stay away from the FM-dial like I do you will enjoy this mix, it features cuts from Kanye, Wale, Notorious B.I.G., Common & more.
Wow, talk about shocking! A industry produced mixtape that actually has mixing on it.
At first my expectations were pretty low considering Duck Down’s 2008 mixtape “Hotline” but this collection of tunes from Duck Down artists is pretty golden. The only exception being Kidz In Hall’s “Flickin”. Why was that song included I don’t hazard a guess but “Mixed Emotions” and “No Love” by Team Facelift more than makeup for that minor stumble.
All in all with the likes of KRS One,DJ Revolution,Team Facelift, Ruste Juxx, Blue Scholars, Oh No, Torae, Sean Price and of course Buckshot himself this industry produced mixtape is far superior than most.
Now you have give a name and email address to receive the mixtape but not all is lost. You can use a fake name (say “John Doe” or “Dick Hurtz”) and fake email address (yousuck at yahoo.com), which is what I did. So go ahead people use your favorite celebrity’s name or make one up and grab this mixtape.
