DJ LRM - Dirty Thirty

The Duck Down
Always having the hip-hop mixtape game on Open Lock is definitely DJ L’s thing. You can’t deny it. At least that’s L’s story. We’re with him on that one.
Probably putting out a new hip-hop mixtape every 2 weeks, L always has his finger on the pulse of hip-hop. This mixtape is no different, keeping an ear to the street with all-new hip-hop from coast to coast.
This mixtape is heavy on the beat-thievery (MAD FREESTYLES!) and heavy on the potency. Featuring new joints from Cassidy, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, Method Man & ODB, Fabolous, The Game & Lil’ Wayne, Hell Rell, Sheek, Freeway, Ransom, Noreaga and more.

R&B vocalist Mya will return on Nov. 14 with her first album for Universal Motown, "Liberation." In addition to first single "Ayo" featuring DJ Kool, the set includes "I Got That" featuring the Game, the Scott Storch-produced "Lock U Down" and the Kwame-produced "I Am."

Mya drew inspiration for the album by leaving Los Angeles and moving back to Washington, D.C., where she spent her formative years. "I just knew that I had to get back to my roots and rediscover what had made me excited in the first place," she says.
