When I finally decided that the Max-Approved Mixtape (everyone's talking about it as the #Maxtape, but I would never be so driven by my ego to put my own name into a hashtag like that, but if it's what the people want, who am I to judge) might be a spinoff worth pursuing, I set out to record some test mixes based on the series of articles I ran back in 2015 as an alternative to writing full-length reviews.
Today brings forth the third segment from those test sessions - ten more slices of whole-grain hip hop, chock-full of the gluten you may not be able to ingest, but your mind absolutely craves.
The tracklist appears below. Each song title links to an accompanying post I wrote about it back around 2015 or so, and, as a reminder, should this series continue, that's one component that won't survive the transition, so hell, may as well enjoy the writing while it's here, right?
1. Showbiz & A.G. - "Represent" (featuring Lord Finesse, Deshawn, and Big L) 9. The RZA (as Bobby Digital) - "Don't Be Afraid"
If you listened to the previous two test mixes, I encourage you to give this one a chance and leave me all of the feedback. I need to know if this is something that should continue beyond the testing phase (there's still one mix remaining, if you're wondering).
Thanks in advance for your support!

Thanks for continuing these mixes, I for one enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Much appreciated. Anything in particular you think I should consider for future volumes?
DeleteOn the 'maxtape' series I'm always open to less well known artists, perhaps some people that I missed during their respective eras, be it 90s, 00s or 10s. It's one of the reasons I enjoyed the Canadian mix I mentioned on another post here, I hadn't heard most of it before but introduced me to a whole new bunch of artists that I really enjoy.
