808 Mafia, the super-production team originally founded by Southside and Lex Luger, is back with their second mixtape. Luger appears to have left the team, with Southside bringing in a variety of new producers who have already begun making waves in the industry with various interpretations of the booming “Trap” movement. Listening to the Intro track gives a brief rundown of tracks that have been produced by 808 Mafia members, providing beats for the likes of Waka Flocka, Future, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Soulja Boy Pusha T, and Wiz Khalifa (just to name a few). Mostly an instrumental mixtape, standouts include a beat sampling Madonna (Fuse-Drowning Angels) and the groups take on dance music (808 Mafia-Studio 51).
