Not familiar with this T.dot kid? I’ve featured him a few times before on the old Kitchen. This super-dope kinda hip-hop/kinda R&B track is from his Topic of Discussion EP.

The Best of Nate Dogg mixed by DJ M-Rock by mrockproducerdj | Alt download link: hulkshare
The second installment in the M-Rock Best of Series Mixtapes: The Best of Nate Dogg.
“This week’s M-Rock Mondays [ed note: yes, I’m a tad late!] is a tribute to the best of probably the greatest hook vocalist in hip-hop. Nate Dogg had made his mark as a legend and main ingredient in the game the first time we heard him on “Ain’t No Fun” off of the classic album, Doggystyle. He’s “that dude who can make you cry even though he’s singing about putting his balls in somebody’s mouth!”. Listening to his music all over again reminds me of how flawless his voice was, his songwriting and how essential he was in making a song a banger whether it’s for the club or something smooth like “Regulate” or “Never Leave Me Alone”. Ice Cube said “it must be a single if Nate Dogg’s on it”, and rumour has it that “Oh No” (his single w/ Mos Def, Pharaoh Monche) has a record for the highest vinyl rap singles sold. Being a DJ who plays a bit of T-Pain and autotune-made music, it gives me a special appreciation to hear how much of a natural pitch-perfect singer Nate was – even his youtube freestyles give the impression that he did not rely on sound engineering the way today’s singers do. This tape was a rush compared to my Best of Kanye West mixtape, but my skills are still sharp on it. Enjoy. RIP Nathaniel Dwayne Hale.”

Been supporting this super-dope Hamilton-based underground MC for a minute now. Just not understanding why more other so-called Canadian and ‘real’ hip-hop blogs aren’t also??
Previously by Emay on The Kitchen:

I’ll let the official plug speak for itself and add only that Theo 3 was repsonsible for one of my favorite hip hop songs of last year, “How I Flow Pt. 2” feat. Tona & Andreena Mill so you should probably just play this on the strength:
“Toronto Hip Hop heavyweight Theo3 (DJ Eclipse’s 2010 Sleeper song of the year “It’s Theo 3”) and much sought after producer, Phat Tony created the eclectic and richly textured “2 Week EP” during 14 days in December. Phat Tony constructed a living, breathing musical landscape while Emcee Theo 3 slid in the upstairs studio everyday after work as Coordinator of the newly opened Parkdale Youth Space in downtown west Toronto. The result is a descriptive and genre blending menu of social awareness, tongue in cheek braggadocio and topical rhymes laid out over an eye popping array of soulful musical productions. The deft mixing touch of legendary Toronto DJ and producer Scam of Time Bandits music gives the whole “2 Week EP” a new dimension of fullness and Universal appeal.
2 weeks to create, 2 weeks to mix and 2 weeks from the Beatz to the Streetz graduate showcase on January 25th 2011, Phat Tony & Theo3 release “the 2 week EP” with the goal of raising $1500 for Toronto youth program Beatz to da Streetz. Purchase it now at yungsanta.bandcamp.com for $3 and up!
Beatz to da Streetz is a youth-led arts program that aims to provide a safe and supportive space for youth ages 16-24. The program leverages the powerful connection between young people and music to promote opportunities for creative expression and self-discovery, building life skills opening access to professional mentorship, education and income generation for marginalized youth ages 16-24. The program reintegrates youth with their communities and gives supports for achieving long-term livelihood development.”
