We are seriously taking the city...
Hello again, Twin Cities hip-hop
fans!
It's been a great year for Twin
Cities hip-hop. Brother Ali, MaLLy, I Self Devine, Big Quarters,
Mike Mictlan... So much good music came out of the cities that it's
almost unfair.
Today, though, we're here to
celebrate the impending release of P.O.S.'s We Don't Even Live
Here, which will hit the
streets this coming Monday. This
will be P.O.S.'s fourth solo album and, we're betting, will be high
on the “Best Of” lists at the end of the year.
More to the
point, to celebrate the release we asked our resident hip-hop junkie
TCDroogsma to put together a little something for us. He came back
with an hour long Flatbasset mix packed with P.O.S. jams.
As you can see,
click the download tab below to download the free mix. Of course we'd like to take a
moment to point out that, obviously, we do not own any of the music
contained in the mix. We asked TCDroogsma to put it together as a
celebration and that's just what he did. So please
don't sue us. We don't have any money anyway.
TCDroogsma, any thoughts?
Y'know, I've been a Doomtree fans for a minute now and I thought it
would be fun to put together a nice run of tracks that P.O.S. has
been featured on rather than a typical “best of” type of thing.
If
you remember, back when Never
Better came out Fifth
Element released a couple of bonus albums called Meat
Tape and Meat
Tape 2 that featured a
bunch of harder to find stuff and stuff that, evidently, P.O.S. was
digging at the time. That was kind of my plan with this mix. Think
of it as Meat Tape 3 or P.O.S. & Friends Rappity Rap Party or I Already Know All These Songs.
It should be noted, of course, that I am not a DJ. If the fades and
blends and such aren't up to par, that's why. Don't think of this
mix as some chopped up, bangin' DJ mix (though, if someone did that
with a bunch of P.O.S. guest spots I'm sure it would kill), think of
this more like the best hour of radio that would never get played on
the radio.
Obviously all of the tracks contain some sort of P.O.S. contribution.
My apologies if I'm not giving full credit to everybody involved.

Thanks to
TCDroogsma for putting the mix together for us. For more of
TCDroogsma be sure to follow him on Twitter and/or Instagram or you
can check out his own blog Flatbasset. He's still counting down
Morrissey songs despite our best efforts. He's got problems, though.
Problems.
Of course this
blog still lives on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1). Give us a follow to
stay up on all our new posts. Most importantly, we also have a
Facebook page here. Stop by and give that one a “like” if you
have a minute. We don't take a sec to breath, we ain't heard of
that.
