Unda & J.Carter present: The Me X Factor (New Mixtape)
Last summer this dude, Unda tha Illest passed me his Soon Is So Far Away CD at one of the Sound Battle Royale events in Toronto. Normally, I don’t expect much when I get given stuff like that, but his music was actually really good: kind of a post-Dilla Donuts-influenced instrumental hip hop type project (with a couple vocal tracks thrown in for good measure).
His newest project, which he just sent me, is kind of fresh-sounding, especially from the production point-of-view. Peep the science then check it out above:
“The project is titled, ‘The Me X Factor’ and is a collaborative album between my brother J.Carter & I, released on Generation Me-X Entertainment. I did 6 tracks, J.Carter did 5, and we did one together. We write, produce, mix, & record our own original music! Give it a listen if you enjoyed ‘Soon Is So Far Away’. This time you can hear my music with my vocals (rapping) & other vocals on them as well.”

Introducing New Artist Tosin: the Potion 2 Mixtape
“Music for the Hood & the Suburbs!“??
That’s what the subject line to the email this came in said and I think it might be right on the money!
Knew nothing about dude – the mixtape got sent to me out of the blue. Despite the horribly amateurish artwork, I gave it a shot just ‘cos he sent an easy-to-listen-to bandcamp link (I told y’all SOUNDCLOUD or BANDCAMP is the way to go – those of y’all still sending mediafire and zshare links to my gmail STAY losing!) and was pleasantly surprised when I ended up kind of diggin’ it. I LOVE track #7, “Southern Illinois University Edwardsville” – always gonna respect odes to college life. Gotta rep that ‘Different’ world view – it can’t always be about the ‘hood!
All son has to do now is it upgrade from the sub-‘hood status artwork. C’mon son, you went to college: you gotta know someone who’s handy around photoshop?? Anyway, check it out and tell me what y’all think:
