@CatastrophicBee – Thrill of the Cha$e (Mixtape)
Fa$t Life and Chopstars’ Slim K present Thrill of the Cha$e by Cata$trophic. Fa$t Life’s first lady raps and sings about topics like love and betrayal with multiple styles for her first project. The title track is one of my favorites, producer Gameface flips one of my favorite samples and covers dissapointment in men (specifically her father) and the “game.” Other standouts are “Love”, “Temptation” “Designer” “Watch Ya Step” featuring Bucky Malone…ok most of the tracks on this tape were great. I found “Pretty Squad” and “Lurkin”a little boring and too pop. “Scandal” was also not something I’d normally listen to but otherwise this was easily one of the best and well-rounded projects I have heard in a while. More great material from the Fa$t Life collective..definitely give this one a listen.

DJ Earl (@DeejayEarl_) – Break
Chicago’s DJ Earl makes mostly “Footwork” music, a House subgenre related to Juke with a heavy emphasis on dancing (hence the name.) I know little about this type of music but the genre usually reminds me of Baltimore Club because of its repetitive vocal samples. “Break” is a little different. The song reminds me of Drum and Bass; the fast pace and prominent usage of the “Amen Break” fit right in (its no wonder Earl has a big UK fanbase.) “Break” is pretty simple, but the drums and occasional synths work. The Mixmag exclusive has over 10,000 plays, although the download link doesn’t appear to be working…if they put the track back up I’ll update this post.
