*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD NOVEMBER 2010

It only makes sense to drop a Smorgasbord on the national Day of the Feast right? You know how I do, just something for you to rock to for the next couple. And since I know you’re probably double-stuffing your bellies (hell, I know I am) I decided to follow suit and double stuff this comp with 2 discs of straight fonk, with the second disc actually being a personal playlist I compiled while zooted on vacation. Each song kinda represents how I was feeling at a certain point in time. Yeah I know its corny. Just download and go eat your stuffin’ ya jive turkey. Tracklist and download in the basement watching the game with Uncle Roy an ‘nem.

WALE – THE MORE ABOUT NOTHING MIXTAPE

Walé Folarin is back with a brand new installment in his mix tape series, this time titled “More About Nothing“. Some usual suspects return to rock with Walé on this 21-track effort, including Daniel Merriweather, Tré of UCB, and what I personally believe made Walé as hot as he got, the incomparable production from Best Kept Secret. Check out The Soup below, then partake & hit the jump for the track listing. Yep!

PHIL ADE x DON CANNON-THE LETTERMAN MIXTAPE

Phil Ade was a  part of our SXSW Quality! showcase and we’ve been betting on him ever since. The DMV rapper debuted with Starting on JV last year, and now he and Don Cannon are back with The Letterman. Both figuratively, and literally, he’s earning his place and expanding his audience. The mixtape also features Wale, Raekwon and Tabi Bonney.
