[RH Mixtape] Scheme: Helluva Year
Scheme has had one "Helluva Year" in 2010. He released a deluxe edition of Same Rebel New Cause, several supporting videos, and gained respect and acclaim navigating through Chicago's bubbling indie music scene. Scheme also set himself up for a nice 2011 with a new project lined up with DJ RTC, as well as forthcoming releases featuring Scheme alongside artists such as Fashawn, Buff1, Esso, DJ Babu, and others. To put a final stamp on the year that was, Scheme decided to partner with DJs Scend and Stefan Ponce for Helluva Year The Mixtape.
The project is broken into two parts, one handled by DJ Scend, the other controlled by Stefan Ponce. Scheme gave both DJs access to his entire catalog, letting them choose what songs to include, and how they wanted to flip them. The project contains 6 unreleased songs, 4 freestyles that Scheme has put over the last 12 months, as well as 3 new remixes. It also includes his collaboration with YP and Kamilah Sumner, "Just Maybe" as well as the track that started it all, "Helluva Year" featuring Emilio Rojas and Astonish that was part of Closed Sessions Vol. 1.
"I've honestly had one Helluva Year," Scheme told me. "It only felt right to do something like this before the year ended."

RH First Look: Big Homie D.O.E.
I've been following Big Homie D.O.E. for a while now. His catchy hooks and lyrics to go along with them made him stand out amongst the pack, and his recent move to our homie Naledge's Brainiac Society has only served to increase his visiblity, improve his work ethic, and place him in the right situation where opportunity meets preparation. Many people wondered how the somewhat intellectual approach of Naledge would work with the "in your face" personality of The Big Homie D.O.E., but as he said, it's not as much of a stretch as some may think. Sticking to his vision to "express the thoughts and feelings of myself, my peers and others through timeless music," D.O.E. has found synergery with Naledge through similar goals pertaining to the music. With that being his main focus there's almost no way that Naledge and D.O.E. couldn't work well together because at the end of the day making timeless music is what Hip-Hop is all about, right?
RH's Ashydakid caught up with The Big Homie D.O.E. for a candid First Look. Check it out below..
