I just recently discovered that XXL has teamed up with non-other then Best Buy and Sony RED for a special edition issue of XXL. XXL, Best Buy, and Sony RED have created XXL mini mag, which is sold exclusively in Best Buy.
Featured on the special issue is DJ Khaled who recently dropped his album Kiss The Ring not to long ago. Inside the mini mag Khaled speaks on a number of things including Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Rick Ross. Other included inside XXL mini mag is 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Ryan Leslie, and more.
If you buy the mini-mag, you will receive two special Cds: Times, Rhymes & Beats featuring new music from Eve, Ryan Leslie, Future, King L, Joey Bada$$, Method Man, Casey Veggies, RZA and more.
This special issue of XXL is only $5.99 at Best Buy. I think this is pretty dope! I saw a copy of this at Best Buy a few days ago and was amazed at how small it was.
A few hours ago ChopStar Slim K dropped the third installment to his slowed and throwed mixtape series Purple Children. If you're into the chopped and screwed sound, you'll love this! These collabs with modern-day renaissance man Robert Gallardo are great mixes, through and through. A combination of hit songs and those of up and coming artists makes for a good balance of mainstream and underground, strung together with chops, phasers, and brakes. To fully enjoy the "H-Tyne" experience, listen to the tape cover to cover (the crossfades are unreal!) Check out Slim K's website for his other mixes, including PC 1 and 2.
