These first two mixtapes have been out for a bit, but are well worth getting.
1. Chiddy Bang's The Swelly Express is AWESOME.
Every song is listenable and unique and the samples are ridiculous, like Sufjan Stevens on All Things Go and my favorite, Never (wicked song). My only complaint is that they havent really figured out the main chorus thing yet. Man im excited about these guys though
2. Next is B.O.B.'s March 25 (click on the download link below the album covers)
This one is more of a listen to on your own than a play at a party type of album, but you can tell B.O.B's going places (1st album out this month). Fuck the Money is Kanye produced, and if you can wait out The Biz's inexplicable 1 minute intro the song and his flow are NUTS.
Next are two are albums that are coming out this month and I'm PUMPED about them even though I haven't listened all the way through yet. They're a bit different/indie but if you like gorillaz and danger mouse you'll be happy.
1. Gorillaz- Plastic Beach. This is the real one, the first i put on was fake so i downloaded it off youtube First single is called Stylo (and weird enough Chiddy Bang did a pretty good remix that i included. They've got Mos Def, Snoop and De La Soul on a few songs so hopefully this will be one of the best albums this year
2. All the links to downloads are down so until I find another one here's a clip of Vaporize.
Broken Bells is Dj Dangermouse and the lead singer from The Shins, a pretty sick combination. The only songs I've heard so far are Vaporize and The High Road but both are great.
ENJOY
ps. you might need an .rar expander for one or two of these, but its a program worth getting because then you can download almost any album off mediafire, megaupload etc. RAR Expander has worked like a charm for me.
