It’s here! Chip Tha Ripper’s long awaited mixtape (thx 2 DJ E-V, Kev, Chip for everything) and it’s a great representation of all the hard work Chip has put in lately. It really shows Chip’s growth compared to some of his old stuff and he’s only gettin’ better. The mixtape release party is THURSDAY out in Cleveland - at the Grog Shop, so if ur in the area, head out there where they will be handing out physical copies of the mixtape and t-shirts (and I’d assume a performance from Chip himself..!). Don’t forget that 2day is Mixtape Messiah day as well - as you gotta head over 2 Chamillionaire.com2 purchase the mixtape! (Watch the video below for more reason to do so.) Also check out tracks and vids featuring the Gym Class Heroes, The Game, Crooked I, Danja, & MORE! Enjoy!
***UPDATE: Added some Ne-Yo Trax 2 this post real quick…!

I’ll begin this update with a hilarious cartoon of Chamillionaire, further promoting his upcoming Mixtape Messiah 4, which will be available 08.27 (not 2day like the track states at the end… it’s just a drop that’s part of the mixtape). Btw, I also gotta say the promotion for MM4 has been on point - all the posters and the video above is unlike anything I’ve seen for promotion in recent memory and Chamillionaire’s team deserves some dap for their efforts. Anyway, the track is another great one w/ Chamillionaire firing back at the hating that goes on around the web. His rhymes are slick and his passion evident, especially as the track progresses and he shows some emotion from an internet nerd’s perspective. Very very interesting track that is a MUST-DL for music fans. Of course watch out for MM4 on the 27th! Below, a few R&B trax - a couple more from Brandy, a hot Trey Songz snippet, and MORE f/ The Dream & R. Kelly! (Big ups 2 DJBooth & Urban Music!) Enjoy!
Chamillionaire always kills a slow beat… always. This proves no exception as his deep lyrics catch u on 1st listen, even for me at this late of an hour. Trae & Slim Thug are outshined by Chamillionaire, who is def one of my favorite rappers in the game 2day and one who is still slept on in the industry. MM4 is droppin’ 08.27 and it’s automatically an awesome day in hip hop. Like all the Mixtape Messiah mixtapes, MM4 is going 2 be sick b/c of trax like these (and if u click the Chamillionaire tag, u’ll see more..) and it is certainly a date I’m eagerly anticipating. Gotta love the clever promo posters as well, haha! Enjoy! (Shouts 2 BFochs for hittin’ up the e-mail w/ this one!)
Honestly, a somewhat forgettable update here, with a couple T.I. videos kicking it off, with a lil’ message about the passing of Bernie Mac this past weekend. Down below are a few decent trax that u may like featuring some hip hop with Trick Daddy & Crooked I, as well as an extended RMX of Slim’s “So Fly” f/ various rappers and a NEW track from R&B singer, Sterling Simms! There’s a few more videos 2 check out below, including a behind the scenes look at Maino’s “Hi Hater”, an inside look w/ The Clipse, & an interview with famous producer, DJ Toomp! Enjoy!
***NOTE: We are temporarily goin’ back 2 Mediafire for trax since many of our international visitors are having trouble DLing w/ zShare. Hope that helps!

Here is Coopa with some MORE fire off his upcoming mixtape, Mixtape Messiah Pt. 4! Quite frankly, he’s got the best mixtape series in the game and I can’t wait for MM4 2 drop. Everything that he’s put out has been fire and this track is no exception. I’m not even a big fan of the beat but Chamill saves it with a ridiculous flow at times and witty wordplay (the Wheel Of Fortune reference was sick..)! Also, as I’m sure u notice above, another great promo picture for Mixtape Messiah Pt. 4 as Chamillionaire continues 2 play on summer movies - this time with Heath Ledger as the Joker! And btw, if u haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet, wow, u got 2. The late Heath Ledger steals the movie and as a whole, it is simply magnificent. Just my .02 - Enjoy!
Above is a brand NEW track from Chip himself, presumably on his upcoming Can’t Stop Me mixtape, and it’s a fresh one featuring Kid Cudi! The verses are all on point over a beat that both rappers excel on and is also my type of beat. Chip shows his versatility as he spits over a more laid-back beat compared 2 the hard bangers I am personally more accustomed 2 and it works for the better. Not 2 mention his overall flow is better than I’ve heard in previous trax, which goes with a catchy chorus that I can see myself singing along 2. I’m excited 2 see how the rest of the mixtape develops now, which should be coming soon according 2 his MySpace. Enjoy the exclusive above as well as the myriad trax below… starting with Jay-Z jumping on “Put On”, as well as Jeezy spittin’ some NEW verses. Gotta had it 2 Jay-Z (who I was never a big fan of) but he killed it here. Hmm, more hits than misses in the trax below.. I’m really diggin’ the Rhymefest track, but mainly because of Chamillionaire’s beastly verse and incredibly clever Lauren London reference which made me chuckle on 1st listen. Another nice reference occurs in the Busta Rhymes / Jadakiss collabo as a Shaq in Miami and Phoenix NBA reference caught my attention (as does any NBA reference, haha!) Just a bunch of hip hop and some R&B trax below! I’m sure u’ll find somethin’ u like so comment on what u do (and don’t!). Enjoy!
Here’s a couple of cover arts I stumbled upon recently for upcoming singles that I have really been lovin’ - “Green Light” & “Miss Independent”! Update ur iTunes artwork if u like and DL the songs if u don’t have them already below!

Whoo, some more heat for ya on this July 17th with Chamillionaire yet again killing another well-known beat - this time Young Jeezy & Kanye West’s collaboration “Put On”! The song above is just another example as to why Chamillionaire is arguably the most versatile rapper in the game 2day, period. In fact, the whole Mixtape Messiah series is filled with Chamillionaire killin’ various types of beats by all the well-known artists and producers. He adapts his style 2 the production and does so brilliantly in almost every track. MM4 is coming on August 27th and the promo has begun with the sick cover above and the promo image inspired by the movie Hancock (still haven’t seen it, is it good?) below! Below that, check out a couple NEW trax by Philly’s Freeway & T-Pain, along with the “Everybody” request by Fonzworth, Kanye, 3000, & Sa-Ra! And finally, we’ll end the day on some “Magic” as Robin Thicke’s first single from his next album, Something Else, now has a video which u can watch at the bottom, along with the behind the scenes making of “Magic”! Enjoy!

Some brand NEW Rhymefest for ya ears (shouts 2 Andrew) and its a ridiculous, good hip hop track that speaks at u on first listen! The catchy “Ya’ll ain’t heard it from me” sample scratched in as the chorus is a great mesh for the whole song with a simple, nice beat and Rhymefest and Wale speakin’ on the game w/ Rhymefest setting the tone in the first verse with the ear-catching line,“Records ain’t sellin’, what the f*** is my incentive, captain?” Yeah, this is some real hip hop that ya’ll should add 2 ur collection that rings especially pleasing 2 this Chicagoland native, just as the slow, dirty south beat of Mistah F.A.B.’s “2MPH” f/ Bun B, Paul Wall, & Chamillionaire will ring the right chords with the Houston crowd! U can also check out a couple NEW trax from Mickey Factz with some guest features and some ridiculous lines! And don’t forget, down below.. a couple vid premieres from Clipse and the sexy songstress, Ashanti! Enjoy!
Whoo, a ton of heat for your summer night 2nite and I’ll start off by explaining an unorthodox feature track for the day - Just Blaze’s instrumental for Team USA’s Olympic run later this summer! Think “The Second Coming” but better (yes, it’s that good) as the beat is perfect for pumpin’ u up and switches throughout from uptempo to ominous and it’s just brilliant. Now here’s the cool part: Nike Basketball will be having a contest where the you, the MC, can drop a verse that will be featured over that beat! So if I were an upcoming MC, I would DL that beat (in addition 2 our contest — ONLY 3 MORE DAYS!) and take some time 2 showcase ur skills for another great opportunity 2 get some exposure! And man, this beat and the picture above [featuring Illinois fav. Deron Williams! (far right)] is already enough 2 get me hyped for the competition in Beijing in just another month or so!
Down below, definitely some trax u have 2 DL. Another Go Getters track has hit the web (big ups FSD) and while I’m not really feelin’ the annoying hook, the verses are on point, including another neat glimpse at Kanye pre-accident. Let’s see.. Chamillionaire always brings the heat and drops some nice lines on his version of “Hero”. Also be sure 2 DL the Lil’ Wayne featured track by Kevin Rudolf “Let It Rock”, which may come as a surprise 2 u b/c I am praising a track with Lil’ Wayne, but this is a perfect example of when I like him. New-comer Kevin Rudolf absolutely kills it and Weezy enhances the track with solid verses that flows nicely over the rockish-popish beat. I can see this one blowin’ up the radio by the end of summer! Finally, I’m also diggin’ the 2 NEW Chris Brown trax, especially the one produced by Bryan-Michael Cox - one of his better beats, which is def sayin’ somethin’ since all of them are pretty damn good. That’s all I got for now, and I will be online very sparingly this weekend as I’ll be outta town this weekend, but I should try 2 find some time 2 update still. Enjoy!
Above are 2 video premieres of some recent trax that I have enjoyed a lot, especially the first single for Nas’ upcoming album, Untitled, “Hero” f/ Keri Hilson. The video is pretty sweet cuz Nas looks cool as hell, just wish we could see more of Keri! Haha, still a good watch, as well as the Swizzy premiere. Below, peep a few hip hop trax w/ the dirty version (previously never dirty, haha) of the T.I./Swizz Beatz collabo “Swing Your Rags”, Chamillionaire’s self-proclaimed best version of “A Milli” (and out of all the versions I’ve heard, I think I’d agree.. pretty tight!), Joe Budden with some real clever lines over Ryan Leslie’s “Addiction”, & Chi-Town / G.O.O.D. Music artist, GLC, droppin’ a new track! Enjoy!
