Damn, you get busy for like 2 weeks and people start blowing up your email. So once again with the concept episodes - this time it's some shit that I've had in the lab for literally a year - the Nintendo Mixtape. Every beat on this joint either uses Nintendo samples or just kinda has that vibe. Trust me, this whole episode is hot.

That's right. When you run as dope a show as mine is, you get to redeclare summer, and nobody bats a motherfucking eye. This episode, as you probably noticed, is the Summer Mixtape - yet another concept episode. Basically the concept here is a typical summer day - I won't get all nostalgic about summers spent during my middle school years - you know, ice cream, running through sprinklers, and coke binges, you get the idea. One day, one mixtape. Here we go. NOTICE - MAKE SURE TO NOMINATE THE MIXTAPE SHOW! CLICK HERE TO GET US (ALL) AN AWARD (in the "podsafe music" category) 4:35 AM: Eulorhythmics - Good Life (Intro). Yeah, I probably coulda put this one at the end, but damn, it's such a dope intro that I had to switch it up. This is the joint you wake up to, before the sun wakes up. This is off their EP, which, incidentally, is probably up there with the best shit I've heard this month. Highly recommended, and there should be an interview with one of the members of Eulo fairly soon - watch out for that. allnatural.com.

Episode 29 this time of the livest hip-hop podcast ever, fuck them other joints, cause they really just aren't fucking with the Mixtape Show.

Case in point - who else brings you shit from the UK AND the dirty dirty in one episode? You can count the number of sites on my middle finger, suckers, cause there's only one. All kidding aside, I've got some pretty out-there and interesting shit for y'all this week. We're gonna start off with some more straight-ahead hip-hop from across the pond, then jump into some grime, then hit you over the head with some of that suvvin rap shit. Don't miss the messages section at the end, complete with some more Dilla-inspired beats.

Assaviour and Jehst - Money in the Bank (orig. version). This episode is gonna get crazy, so I thought I'd start y'all off with something that you could handle. Check the production and the hook on this one...instant classic. lowliferecords.co.uk.

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.
