Mick Boogie x HYPETRAK – #Represent The Stripes Mixtape

Apparently the upcoming Olympics had Mick Boogie feeling a little patriotic so he did what any DJ would do. He brought together Action Bronson, Chip Tha Ripper, Rapper Big Pooh, Slum Village, STS and more.

What do YOU represent? Mick Boogie was so impressed with the upcoming adidas #represent campaign that he decided to make a mixtape paying homage to it: “Represent The Stripes.” And he brought along his good friends at HYPETRAK to make it even better!

The project ties in the ideals of the adidas campaign with the patriotism of the Olympics going on next month… hence the double entendre of “Represent The Stripes.”

Oddisee - Mental Liberation (Deluxe Edition)

Press Release:

After organizing session files on the harddrive, some Oddisee bonus materials from the "Mental Liberation" vaults have been rediscovered. It was such a pleasure finding them, that we decided to post them up and give the entire album and unearthered bonus materials away free all week!

The bonus material includes two instrumentals: one which was previously exclusive to Japanese vinyl is called "Is That Why You're Here?" and is a particularly jazzy track, heavy on the horns; the second is also horn heavy with an irregular drum pattern and is entitled "Revival". The third bonus cut is a track Oddisee produced that Motion Man laid 3 verses over called "Holding It Back".
