[Mixtape] KarenCivil.com presents Young Chris – Young Christmas: The EP
I know with the arrival of 2012 Christmas is kind of over (although technically not) but Young Chris is one of my favorite MC’s so I’m posting this anyway. Enjoy!

The T.I. mixtape, I think me and everyone knew about in advance but isn’t this apparently official new Raekwon mixtape a pleasant but (pun intended) unexpected surprise? Or maybe I’m just out the loop nowadays?? Just starting to play it – musically it sounds solid but they coulda taken the time to master it properly! :/ Shout to the T.dot’s JD Era though who’s all over this joint and a cameo from CL Smooth too??! Nice!

Happy New Year! First big mixtape drop of the year on the first day of the year. With cameos from Young Jeezy, Pimp C (R.I.P. of course always, but there’s still unused Pimp C verses laying around or is this recycled from something and I’m just not recalling it ??!), Meek Mill, Pusha T, an actually really good track with Nelly and gasp, Dr. Dre (although a track that’s been circulating in some form or another, as even Dre says in his verse, for a while now). Second half sounded better to me than the first which makes sense when you see the names behind the boards (Dre, Just Blaze, Mannie Fresh, Hit Boy and DJ Toomp) but maybe that’s just me??

And keeping it uptown-themed for a hot minute…
I was chopping it up on twitter last week with the long-time homie, Bathgate telling him I thought he needed to drop a new mixtape. He said the N.I.K.E. mixtape is on the way. In the meantime though, I was cleaning out my inbox for the new year, I also spotted this gem from last summer. Kid still got spit game, don’t sleep! Stream via the Livemixtapes embed player above but the tape can also be downloaded via DJBooth.com.
[Mixtape] A$AP Rocky – Live, Love, A$AP FULL Stream
A$AP Rocky – Live, Love, A$AP (Mixtape) by Diamond Media 360
I know a GRIP of mixtapes have dropped in the past week with this debut (?) collection by the young uptown gunner, ASAP Rocky probably the most anticipated especially in the wake of his alleged $3 million (:/) deal with RCA/Polo Grounds. While you can of course, probably go access them all easily elsewhere, I’m gonna do my best to post some of them here at The Kitchen anyway ‘cos not all my readers are avid hip hop blog-reading nerds like that….
