I don't think I need to say much about this episode. Happy mothers day to all of you, and hopefully at least one or two of you out there become mothers while listening to this episode. Intro beat - Hold It Sucka by Alf-Alpha. Hot joint. Be on the lookout for more of his material on the upcoming beattape episode. You can hear the full version of this beat on his myspace.People Under The Stairs - Pass the 40. Off their new album, Stepfather. I slept on this record when it came in for a good week and a half, until the dude John told me to actually listen to it. The whole album is full of good tracks (add this to your pool party soundtrack, trust me), but in the end I just had to go with this one, if for no other reason than because there's a sample of a kid asking to get a swig of the Mickey's. Check them out at putsonline.co.uk. PUTS fans take notice - we'll be having an exclusive (exclusive! newshit newshit newshit) interview with Thes One of People Under the Stairs next week. Any questions you want asked, feel free to get at me with them in the comments section. Click "more" to see the rest of this week's playlist and show info.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the only mixtape show / hip-hop podcast worth fucking with. I'm dex digital.

The hip-hop community has suffered a tragic loss recently. This show is not a "dedication", or a "tribute", but I'd like to take a moment here and on the show to show appreciation and gratitude for a man that has done so much for us.

On with the show.

Exile f/ Slum Village - Time Has Come. It's weird, because when I started putting tracks together for this week's episode, I had already set this aside for the opening track. Exile is on the beats here (you've heard him here before), and lest anyone forget what Dilla was capable of on the other side of the glass...Jon, good looking out on the hookup with this one. Check out soundincolor.com for more on Exile.
