Jay iLLa - The Break Up (Mixtape)

DOWNLOAD (CLICK HERE)

“The Break Up” is the follow up to “Love Is” the last mixtape released Valentines Day 2011… These 2 projects tell a story of how relationships tend to work – from the beginning romance to the nasty endings. And, my goal was to provide that feeling throughout – using R&B, Hip Hop, & Soul….

“The Break Up” starts by letting you know it’s not a love story, and through comedy and seriousness captures all the heartfelt struggles of what a break up consists of… I used clips of certain movies and tv shows to help provide the platform of emotions…

23 Tracks and about 50min long, The Break Up is the 2nd Installment of theLove Is series preparing you for the 3rd“The Make Up”. In closing, I hope you download and enjoy the project as much as I have…

Peace!

DIGGIN' CHICAGO - WINDY CITY CRATES: GANGSTER BOOGIE

Have always been a huge fan of the Chicago Gangsters 'Gangster Boogie' from their tough to find Blind Over You LP. Funky, funky clavinet and bumping beats have made this this a sampler's favorite. LL lifted it for "Mama Said Knock You Out'.

Pete Rock sampled the cut for his own 'Gangsta Boogie' (Feat. Slum Village) on his 2008 mixtape New York's Finest released in 2008. Unbelievably, the cut didn't make the final album and was only released as a bonus cut on iTunes! Long Live J Dilla!
