Wale finally dropped his new mixtape last week, “More About Nothing.” The much anticipated follow up to his first release “Mixtape about Nothing” has a few good features including Wiz Khalifa, Tre (of UCB), Avery Storm, Dre (of Cool & Dre), Daniel Merryweather and Waka Flocka. Not a fan of the spoken word tracks but there are some amazing verses elsewhere. Love that cover art too.

Nobody can argue against the almighty power of the mixtape, especially after a year like 2009. We have seen artists like Wale, Drake, and Kid Cudi rise from underground hip-hop to the main stage of radio, MTV and iTunes. As purveyors and champions of the mixtape, we here at BDN strive to filter the best of the best to you the reader. Here are some late season goodies that have been playing around the office the last few weeks.
First up is the much anticipated Mixtape Volume 4 by Hood Internet.

Then we have one of my personal favorites, Chiddy Bang’s long over due Mixtape, The Swelly Express. Not much new music here but it is nice to have it all in a great lil’ package for those inevitable road trips.

One of our favorite new kids in the hip-hop game, Whiz Khalifa, has been pumping out mixtapes like crazy this year. Add ‘Burn After Rolling’ to the list, and then be sure to buy his first album ‘Deal or No Deal’ hitting stores next Tuesday!

Last but not least, yet another masterful Jay-Z mixtape has been added to the already long list. Taking a slightly different approach, Music Without Borders has remixed the American Gangster Soundtrack with the sounds of 70’s Indian cinema. Give a “Hindustani Gangster” a listen.

If you love Girl Talk, then you would be a fool not to jump on the E-603 party train. The highly anticipated sophmore release “Torn Up” came out just the other day and is currently on heavy rotation in the BDN lab. You can get a free copy by clicking the pic below, and if you decide to buy the album (pay what you want) you could be expecting a hand written love letter and a lock of hair from E-603 himself!
While you are at it, cop his 2008 release “Something for Everyone,” also FREE and partytastic.
And since we fell off on the mixtape posts, here are few that have also made the cut of recent…
