He Is Not The Pappy....

The latest project from the homie from STL comes in the form of a super solid mixtape. Don't let the title fool you, it has more to do with birthing new styles than it does with actual paternity. The mixtape is filled with both head nodding soulful selections and crisp bangers, all of that is tied together with Vandalyzm's fluid flow. Find out how he sons the mic by downloading it from here:

Oddisee's "Odd Winter"

If you're like me your favorite thing in the world is a new instrumental album. When i downloaded Oddisee's latest showcase of his production skills i immediately grabbed the pen and pad. This as well as his other production projects show off just how talented Oddisee is. Grab your copy at oddisee.bandcamp.com

"Still Aint Easy Bein Skinny"

Since we're talking about Stik rapping, i'll let you in on a project he released at the very turn of the current year. If you want to listen to really dope bars, patterns, and structures Stik showcases all of these with this mixtape. The only flaw in the tape is that the mixing isn't exactly seamless. You can download the mixtape from Stik's blog; itsstikfigamayne.blogpot.com.

D/Will and Stik Figa Bring You "Hello, Goodbye"
