DJ Critical Hype - The Art of Clipse Blends
Straight out of Montreal, DJ Critical Hype delivers even more Clipse content this week. This mixtape is totally listenable, front to back. Malice is along for the ride to drop some shoutouts and plug the new album. I especially like that Gangsta Lean remix, so soulful. Grab it totally guilt free here.

Clipse - Life Change (Featuring Pharrell & Kenna)
Really feeling this closing track from Til The Casket Drops. The Neptunes production is on point, and Pharrell plain murders hooks.
I was once given two CDRs titled Life Changer Vol 1/2. The first was a fourteen song mixtape, and the second was an alphabetized mp3 CD a few hundred deep. (The third in the series was aptly renamed Traipsing Through Despair.)
That CD rotation managed to coax me (and a Toyota Rav4) over and back again through the Rockie Mountains in the middle of avalanche season. You can probably trace all of this back to that month of endless driving and rapping along to those CDs. I wish I knew where they were today.
(On the real, this album is truly great. I’m going to have to ask your mom to show me how to purchase music so I can do the right thing next Tuesday.)

Clipse - There Was A Murder feat. Kobe (Produced by DJ Khalil)
Til The Casket Drops leaked earlier tonight. I’ve given it a few listens but I’ll have to cop the higher bitrate because 128 doesn’t cut it, even for a leak. Hell I’ll probably pony up for it, and I don’t even know how to buy music anymore.
This joint is an early standout of the previously unleaked set, but it’s tough to play favourites with so many potential bangers here. The production is like few other rap albums I’ve heard. Vancouver resident DJ Khalil brings some heat to a few tracks, and quells any concern over inviting non-Neptunes producers to the party.
On the surface it sounds like they’ve been traipsing through despair a lot less lately. But with every successive listen I’m hearing lines I didn’t catch the first time round. The whole thing is on that next level future music tip, and feels totally cohesive.
