A Kwelity Mixtape
The ‘BK Emcee’ is no stranger to the mixtape game, so when Talib Kweli decided to return to the ring after a brief hiatus on the mic, it was nothing short of a Beautiful Thing. Hooking up with Tennessee mixtape titan Wally Sparks on the other hand, now that was a little of surprise. Usually known for his Southern mixtapes, Sparks branches out for this incredible collaboration between the Brooklyn emcee and ‘The Walter Crunkite’ of mixtapes. Nevertheless, this mixtape is nothing but heat, including rare tracks, exclusives and original remixes. This mixtape is a Kwelity stash of incredible music from one half of Blackstarr and one half of Reflection Eternal. Which half is his better side? You’ll have to wait and see.

Game Recognize Game
With his monster mixtape Mood Muzik #3 (the Joe Budden series) in the works, DJ On Point hits the streets hard with the latest edition of his hip-hop compilation series U Gotta Respect It. Game recognize game. Banging the hardest hip-hop from front to back and back to the front, this On Point joint features all-new tracks, freestyles and mixtape anthems. Featuring hip-hop from Juelz Santana & Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck, Alchemist & Ras Kass, The Game, Jadakiss, Young Jeezy, Freeway, Styles P, Stack Bundles, J-Hood and more .

Catch His Drift
We had to pull some major strings to get this package past Customs, but this package was well-worth the effort. Importing this Canadian Coke straight from Toronto, we paved the way for Kardinal Offishall aka. ‘Mr. Kardinal’ to come through with another monster mixtape to serve the fiends.
The incredibly talented reggae/underground hip-hop hybrid hasn’t dropped an American album in almost five years (his 2004 Fire & Glory only reached Canada’s shelves), but he stays sprinkling the fans with mixtapes to stay in the spotlight. But it’s nearing three years since he dropped 2004 mixtape Kill Bloodclot Bill, and Kardi felt it was time to get official again. So with the American mixtape king DJ Whoo Kid rolling out the red carpet for Toronto’s finest, this mixtape full of exclusive freestyles and tracks is nothing but the pure T. Dot blow.

The Kalonji Mixtape
Always dipping into things on the reggae side with his reggae mixtape series Evolution of Reggae and Straight From Di Yard, DJ L brings you an artist feature mixtape of one of the hottest voices in the game, Sizzla. The Saint Mary, Jamaican reggae superstar and Bobo Ashanti is known for his unique vocal abilities and high standing in the reggae world. This mixtape features more than 40 classic tracks and verses from Sizzla Kalonji.

Today, The Game told Egypt and Donnell Rawlins of New York’s Power 105 the deal with him and Dr. Dre. He admitted that Dre was not on the album. I don’t think The Game was interested in playing games, because he just answered the question without fanfare. HE said he didn’t know why Dre was absent, but in his recent interview with AllHipHop, he alluded to defying the good Doctor as it pertained to beef with 50 Cent.

In a recent interview with The Fader magazine, Beanie Sigel revealed that he is no longer with Def Jam or Roc-A-Fella Records. He also outlined his plans to release a new, as-yet untitled mixtape, his first since releasing 2005’s The B. Coming

The mixtape, which will be officially released through Def Jam, will be Beans’ last project for the label. Citing his unwillingness to choose between mutual friends Jay-Z and Damon Dash after the initial Roc-a-Fella split and what he feels was poor promotion for his album The B. Coming, Beans has decided to part ways with his former recording home.

Last Friday night ( September 22) Virginia Beach police arrested two men in connection with the shooting that occurred after a Jim Jones party in the early hours of Friday morning. Police arrested a third suspect last night (September 25).

One man was killed and several people were seriously wounded on Friday when gunfire erupted in the parking lot outside the Miami Restaurant and Lounge.

Despite rumors that Method Man has been dropped by Island Def Jam, the emcee is still with the legendary label, according to sources.

"Method Man is still part of the Def Jam family and he is currently on tour promoting his new CD," said Def Jam publicist Jana Fleishman via a statement. Rumors recently began spreading that Meth was dropped from IDJ due to low album sales. Meth’s independent reps and a Def Jam spokesperson both denied the rumors.

Vocal’s Hottest Verses
The selector of choice is Selector Rondon right here, and this mixtape is the 23rd edition of Vocal Singing, Rondon’s collection of the hottest vocal/singing tracks in the reggae world. This World Beat exclusive brings you the newest batch of tunes from the Island, including 55 of some of the baddest verses from Damian Marley, Sizzla, Anthony B, Richie Spice, Turbulence, Jah Mason, Ras Shiloh, Fanton Mojah and more.

ByrdGangstaGrillz
Alongside ‘The King Capo’ Jim Jones, the untouchable DJ Drama is back with this special ‘Byrdgangsta Grillz Special Edition’ mixtape exclusive titled The Seven Day Theory. Many will look at the title as an indication of Jones’ reverance for the late Tupac, but to be exact, the title stands for exactly how long it took for this Byrdgang/Aphilliates mixtape to be created and recorded: seven days. Aye! A week of hard work pays off as ‘The iPod King’ brings you this Diplomatic treatment of Jim Jones, including exclusive tracks and freestyle recorded specifically for this mixtape

T.I.P. Of The Iceberg
For the fans of Grand Hustle’s #1 Hustler and the ATL’s Rubberband Man, this mixtape from T.I. is something serious. The part-time multi-platinum rapper slash part-time blockbuster actor slash full-time King of the South is live in the flesh to official jump off this major mixtape. The leader of P$C is on the scene to host and narrate this mixtape, and thus this mixtape represents The Tipping Point, or the moment at which T.I.’s career really takes off. Creatively pieced together by the concept king Mick Boogie, this mixtape brings you the ultimate collection of T.I. tracks and remixes, including several exclusive Mick Boogie remixes as well as rare and unreleased joints.

The selector of choice is Selector Rondon right here, and this mixtape is the 12th edition of Culture Mix, Rondon’s collection of the hottest foundation, roots & culture tracks in the reggae world. This World Beat exclusive brings you the newest batch of culture tracks from the Island, including 47 monster verses by Jah Mason, Yami Bolo, Natty King, Prophet Benjamin, Anthony B, Luciano, Sizzla, Turbulence and more.

A Second Wind
In 2004, Twista’s Kamikazee debuted at #1 on the Top Billboard 200 albums thanks to the success of the Kanye-twisted "Slow Jams." For many, that was their first time catching the vapors from the West-side Chicagoan. But by no means was Twista new to the rap game. Having put it down for 15 years solid, the man gets his senior citizen discount in game. What Twista was new to, however, was mixtapes. Bringing you the follow-up to Tailwinds by DJ Whoo Kid, DJ Ideal returns with Twista’s second wind: Tailwinds, v.2: The Mobstas Anthem. This mixtape features exclusive tracks and freestyles from Twista & The Speedknot Mobstas.

Xzibit is set to release his sixth solo album "Full Circle" on Open Bar/Koch Records October 17th, 2006. We premiered the first single "Concentrate" which was produced by Rick Rock a few weeks ago, and the video was just released as well. We have it available for ya’ll "on TBOHipHop forum…[click]".

Update: TBOHipHop.net has another version of the video, which can be found here: "Xzibit - Concentrate [click]". This is exlusive final version of Xzibit’s new video is brought to you first by us!

The stress would be enough to break anybody beef with 50. Family feuds. Label changes. And could there really be an album called The Doctor’s Advocate with no beats from Dre? Against All Odds, The Game says he’s gonna win.

Sometimes the game is just too much to bear. Over the past couple yars, Jayceon "The Game" Taylor has carried a lot on his shoulders. He’s gone through a lot of changes and dealt with more drama than anyone would want to. "It wasn’t so fun being me no more," says the 26-year-old father of one. "All the chips was stacked up against a nigga. My back was against the wall. I felt like I was alone. I felt like it was me against the world."

Outkast vs. Tupac?
You bet, this mixtape marriage is made official by DJs Simon Sez and Set It Off, remixing the lyrics from the immortal rap legend and icon Tupac Shakur with beats from the Dungeon Family (basically…Outkast and Goodie Mob). And it sounds as good as it sounds. Sez and Set It Off trade blends on this 24-track mixtape of Tupac and Outkast/Goodie Mob blends, including classic Tupac ("Dear Mama," "Me Against The World," etc.) mixed over classics like "Elevators," "Jazze Belle," and "Ms. Jackson." Bringing you this major blends concept joint, The Thug Below is a marriage of two of rap’s greatest superstars and offers the best of the West and 3rd Coasts. 100% Remixes!

Youngest In Charge Is Back!!
DJ Obscene links up with west coast legend, Daz Dillinger for a certifid street banger, Serious Hustle Vol. 2. This is as official as it gets, exclusives from Miami’s own, Pitbull & Rick Ross, not to mention, new joiunts from Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Chamillionaire, Trick Daddy, Snoop Dogg, and more. Ofcourse all mixed and cut the f*** up by Miami’s "Youngest In Charge."!!

Missing Tupac
It’s been a decade since the late, great Tupac Shakur passed away, but the rap superstar has never managed to leave the public forum. Concocting more death conspiracies than there are Elvis sightings, the hip-hop world and the media have kept the memory of 2pac aka. Makaveli forever alive. With the 5th edition of his famous Makaveli: 7 Deadly Sins mixtape series, DJ Butta is back with the 10th Year Anniversary Edition to commemorate the recent anniversary of his death. Featuring rare, unreleased, original and remixed Tupac tracks, this one is a must-have!
