RH First Listen: "Rapper Weed"
After rocking the stage at our Dimes and Dozens party (co-presented by dubFrequency) Curren$y went into SoundScape Studios with us for a closed session. We turned the lights down, played some beats, rolled a little something up, and let the creativity fly. Rocking over original production courtesy of Tony Baines, Curren$y created "Rapper Weed", a mellow joint about, well, mellow joints. Download it free below, and tell a friend to tell a friend. Also look for more RH x SoundScape releases in the future, and video from Dimes and Dozens coming later today.

[Mixtape] QuEST X DJ RTC: One Month Left
Faithful RH readers are no stranger to QuEST. The emcee out of Miami gained exposure in the new calendar year through multiple posts and a cosign by 2DB and IllRoots. We featured QuEST in our First Look section a couple months back, and the emcee enlisted me to mix and host his new mixtape, There's Only One Month Left. The mixtape is the precursor to his formal debut album, Broken Headphones, and I'm very happy with it. Boasting guest appearances from Donny Goines, Prezzure, Naledge of Kidz In The Hall, GLC, XV and more, There's Only One Month Left is 18 tracks giving you a taste of what's to come from QuEST, and the mixing/DJing isn't too shabby either, haha...Download and tracklist after the jump.
[Mixtape] RubyHornet x SoundScape: DJ RTC & Friends Live
On May 30, 2009 DJ RTC set up shop at Do Division Fest, an annual music and arts festival stretching roughly 9 city blocks in the heart of Division street. He asked some of Chicago's finest emcees to join him during his set. So many artists signed up that it turned into an exclusively Chicago set, which played out like a live mixtape. DJ RTC arranged and blended tracks together to make for smooth transitions, and a concert with few pauses and lots of excitement. Michael Kolar of SoundScape Studio recorded and mastered the full set, which is available for free download by clicking the link below. With ten of Chicago's most accomplished and beloved Hip Hop artists making appearances, DJ RTC & Friends Live is a one of its kind live concert mixtape, which represents everything that's dope right now about Chicago's Hip Hop community. Notorious as a city full of haters, DJ RTC & Friends serves to contradict the Chi's haterville moniker and signifies the change in the attitude taking place in the Chi. Artists such as Mike 100's, Really Doe, Phil G, Project Mayhem, Mikkey Halsted, Mick Luter, Mic Terror, Rhymefest, The Primeridian, and GLC all been lead the pack.
If you were there, you can relive the experience. If you missed it, you can get caught up to speed. Please enjoy by finding the download link and tracklist below.
