Mixtape Mayhem: Detroit
Big Sean has big plans for 2012, with his second studio album slated to drop before the end of the year.

Mixtape Mayhem: Dedication 4
The long-awaited Dedication 4 does a lot to build hype, but ultimately supports the belief that Lil’ Wayne has already passed the peak of his rap career. Strategically featuring rhymes on many well-known beats, the mixtape is already made superficially likable because of the popularity associated with original tracks such as 2Chainz’ “No Lie” and [...]

Mixtape Mayhem: Lost in Translation
I honestly had a hard time taking this guy seriously. A very, VERY hard time. From his name to the cover of the mixtape itself (which was inappropriate enough for us to not post it), I felt as though the whole production was going to be a joke. I first heard mention of eXquire at [...]
